I print out a bunch of DDL statements that are dynamically created and want to align the output in a specific way.
PRINT 'ALTER TABLE ' + @TableName + ' WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT CK_' + @TableName + '_' + @ColumnName + '_MinimumLength CHECK (LEN(' + @ColumnName + ') > 0)'
Output:
ALTER TABLE SignType ADD CONSTRAINT CK_SignType_Description_MinimumLength CHECK (LEN(Description) > 0)
ALTER TABLE Person ADD CONSTRAINT CK_Person_Name_MinimumLength CHECK (LEN(Name) > 0)
What I want the output to be:
ALTER TABLE SignType WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT CK_SignType_Description_MinimumLength CHECK (LEN(Description) > 0)
ALTER TABLE Person WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT CK_Person_Name_MinimumLength CHECK (LEN(Name) > 0)
Is there a function that allows me to pad the string by n of character x. I would use it like this:
PRINT 'ALTER TABLE ' + @TableName + PAD(' ', 50 - LEN(@TableName)) + ' WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT .....'
Thanks
