NAME
    gcloud alpha spanner databases ddl describe - describe the DDL for a Cloud
        Spanner database

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud alpha spanner databases ddl describe
        (DATABASE : --instance=INSTANCE) [--include-proto-descriptors]
        [--filter=EXPRESSION] [--limit=LIMIT] [--page-size=PAGE_SIZE]
        [--sort-by=[FIELD,...]] [--uri] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) Describe the DDL for a Cloud Spanner database.

EXAMPLES
    To describe the DDL for a given Cloud Spanner database, run:

        $ gcloud alpha spanner databases ddl describe my-database-id \
            --instance=my-instance-id

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     Database resource - The Cloud Spanner database of which the ddl to
     describe. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the
     attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given
     arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.

     To set the project attribute:
      ◆ provide the argument database on the command line with a fully
        specified name;
      ◆ provide the argument --project on the command line;
      ◆ set the property core/project.

     This must be specified.

       DATABASE
          ID of the database or fully qualified identifier for the database.

          To set the database attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument database on the command line.

          This positional argument must be specified if any of the other
          arguments in this group are specified.

       --instance=INSTANCE
          The Cloud Spanner instance for the database.

          To set the instance attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument database on the command line with a fully
            specified name;
          ▸ provide the argument --instance on the command line;
          ▸ set the property spanner/instance.

FLAGS
     --include-proto-descriptors
        Include debug string of proto bundle descriptors in the output. The
        output is information only and not meant to be parsed.

LIST COMMAND FLAGS
     --filter=EXPRESSION
        Apply a Boolean filter EXPRESSION to each resource item to be listed.
        If the expression evaluates True, then that item is listed. For more
        details and examples of filter expressions, run $ gcloud topic filters.
        This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order:
        --flatten, --sort-by, --filter, --limit.

     --limit=LIMIT
        Maximum number of resources to list. The default is unlimited. This
        flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order:
        --flatten, --sort-by, --filter, --limit.

     --page-size=PAGE_SIZE
        Some services group resource list output into pages. This flag
        specifies the maximum number of resources per page. The default is
        determined by the service if it supports paging, otherwise it is
        unlimited (no paging). Paging may be applied before or after --filter
        and --limit depending on the service.

     --sort-by=[FIELD,...]
        Comma-separated list of resource field key names to sort by. The
        default order is ascending. Prefix a field with ``~'' for descending
        order on that field. This flag interacts with other flags that are
        applied in this order: --flatten, --sort-by, --filter, --limit.

     --uri
        Print a list of resource URIs instead of the default output, and change
        the command output to a list of URIs. If this flag is used with
        --format, the formatting is applied on this URI list. To display URIs
        alongside other keys instead, use the uri() transform.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
    These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account,
    --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format,
    --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet,
    --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

    Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES
    This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
    command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct
    project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early
    access allowlist. These variants are also available:

        $ gcloud spanner databases ddl describe

        $ gcloud beta spanner databases ddl describe
