Updated text:

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework.

To get Table object properties, users can be a member of the public fixed server role.

To set Table object properties, users must have ALTER permission on the table.

To create a table, users must have CREATE TABLE permission on the parent database and ALTER permission in the schema.

To drop a table, users must have CONTROL permission on the table, or be a member of the db_ddladmin or db_owner fixed database roles.

To grant, deny, or revoke permission on the table to other users, users must have CONTROL permission on the table.


Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.

Create Table Using PowerShell

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------

# ScriptName : create-SQLTable.ps1

#

# Author : Richard Vantrease

#

# Purpose : Create a new SQL Server table

#

# NOTE: I didn't really bother parameterizing the table columns as there

# are too many variables to make it feasible for this example. So, it will

# simply create two columns:

# A VARCHAR(50)

# B INT

#

# Dependencies : Microsoft.SQLServer.SMO

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------

param

(

[string]$ServerName,

[string]$DBName,

[string]$TableName

)


[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO')

$DataTypes = [Microsoft.SQLServer.Management.SMO.SQLDataType]
