Examples

The following code example shows how to create a new table and display the time and date that it was created on the console.

C#

Server srv = new Server("(local)");
Database db = srv.Databases["AdventureWorks2012"];

Table tb = new Table(db, "Test Table");
Column col1 = new Column(tb, "Name", DataType.NChar(50));
Column col2 = new Column(tb, "ID", DataType.Int);

tb.Columns.Add(col1); 
tb.Columns.Add(col2); 
tb.Create();

Console.WriteLine("The table was created on " + tb.CreateDate.ToString());

Powershell

$srv = new-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server("(local)")
$db = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database
$db = $srv.Databases.Item("AdventureWorks2012")

#Create the Table
$tb = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Table($db, "Test Table")
$col1 = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Column($tb, "Name", [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.DataType]::NChar(50))
$col2 = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Column($tb, "ID", [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.DataType]::Int)
$tb.Columns.Add($col1)
$tb.Columns.Add($col2)
$tb.Create()

Write-Host "The table was created on" $tb.CreateDate
