Hello All,

Is there already a perl script that will parse a single large DDL file into several smaller ones and name the smaller ones based on the name of the object being created / altered?

For example, suppose I have a large DDL file that contains a PO system database. I run the script and get the following files produced from it: 
CUSTOMER.ddl
PK_CUST_INDEX.ddl
PK_CUST_CONSTRAINT.ddl
PURCHASE_ORDER.ddl
PK_PURCHASE_ORDER_INDEX.ddl
PK_PURCHASE_ORDER_CONSTRAINT.ddl
etc...

[download]
My reason for this is version control. I need to put each object under version control and copying, pasting, naming my own files is way too tedious.

I would be VERY surprised if this script does not already exist so if someone could kindly point it out I would be most grateful.

Thanks, Craigbert
