How can I generate a class from a SQL Server table object?
I’m not talking about using some ORM. I just need to create the entities (simple class). Something like:
public class Person { public string Name { get;set; } public string Phone { get;set; } }
Given some table like:
+----+-------+----------------+ | ID | Name | Phone | +----+-------+----------------+ | 1 | Alice | (555) 555-5550 | | 2 | Bob | (555) 555-5551 | | 3 | Cathy | (555) 555-5552 | +----+-------+----------------+

Set @TableName to the name of your table.
declare @TableName sysname = 'TableName' declare @Result varchar(max) = 'public class ' + @TableName + ' {' select @Result = @Result + ' public ' + ColumnType + NullableSign + ' ' + ColumnName + ' { get; set; } ' from ( select replace(col.name, ' ', '_') ColumnName, column_id ColumnId, case typ.name when 'bigint' then 'long' when 'binary' then 'byte[]' when 'bit' then 'bool' when 'char' then 'string' when 'date' then 'DateTime' when 'datetime' then 'DateTime' when 'datetime2' then 'DateTime' when 'datetimeoffset' then 'DateTimeOffset' when 'decimal' then 'decimal' when 'float' then 'double' when 'image' then 'byte[]' when 'int' then 'int' when 'money' then 'decimal' when 'nchar' then 'string' when 'ntext' then 'string' when 'numeric' then 'decimal' when 'nvarchar' then 'string' when 'real' then 'float' when 'smalldatetime' then 'DateTime' when 'smallint' then 'short' when 'smallmoney' then 'decimal' when 'text' then 'string' when 'time' then 'TimeSpan' when 'timestamp' then 'long' when 'tinyint' then 'byte' when 'uniqueidentifier' then 'Guid' when 'varbinary' then 'byte[]' when 'varchar' then 'string' else 'UNKNOWN_' + typ.name end ColumnType, case when col.is_nullable = 1 and typ.name in ('bigint', 'bit', 'date', 'datetime', 'datetime2', 'datetimeoffset', 'decimal', 'float', 'int', 'money', 'numeric', 'real', 'smalldatetime', 'smallint', 'smallmoney', 'time', 'tinyint', 'uniqueidentifier') then '?' else '' end NullableSign from sys.columns col join sys.types typ on col.system_type_id = typ.system_type_id AND col.user_type_id = typ.user_type_id where object_id = object_id(@TableName) ) t order by ColumnId set @Result = @Result + ' }' print @Result
