CreateSchema
Generates a schema file for a specified SharePoint list, allowing manual customization of columns and metadata. Useful for integrating SharePoint lists with external data sources or applications.
CreateSchema
Creates a local schema file (.rsd) from an existing table or view in the data model.
The schema file is created in the directory set in the Location connection property when this procedure is executed. You can edit the file to include or exclude columns, rename columns, or adjust column datatypes.
The server checks the Location to determine if the names of any .rsd files match a table or view in the data model. If there is a duplicate, the schema file will take precedence over the default instance of this table in the data model. If a schema file is present in Location that does not match an existing table or view, a new table or view entry is added to the data model of the server.
