A simple TSQL script to quickly generate c# POCO classes from SQL Server tables and views. You may tweak the output as needed. Not all datatypes are represented but this should save a bunch of boilerplate coding. USAGE: Run this query against the database of your choice. The script will loop through tables, views and their respective columns. Re…

That's a very good observation you made. I missed seeing that double type is not there in the logic.

This T-SQL script is designed to create C# class properties dynamically based on a database schema. It extracts column names, data types, nullability, and descriptions from the database and generates corresponding C# properties with appropriate attributes. The script automatically adds annotations for primary keys, foreign keys, required fields, and maximum string lengths, enhancing the generated C# code's readability and maintainability.
