As a data engineer working with Google BigQuery, I often need to document and recreate table structures accurately. Recently, I built a Python script to streamline the process of generating DDL (Data Definition Language) statements for tables in a BigQuery dataset, complete with schema details, partitioning, clustering, and constraints like primary and foreign keys.
