title: Tasks - Generate Scripts in Azure Synapse Serverless SQL
body: <p>I am working with an Azure Synapse Serverless SQL instance, connected via the most recent version of SSMS. I have several external tables defined over parquet files in an Azure Data Lake (Gen2).</p>
  <p>My question is how do I use the typical <em>&quot;Tasks-Generate Scripts&quot;</em> to generate the external table definitions similar to what I am used to in SQL Server? Or do something similar (batch export of external table definitions)...at this point, it appears that I need to go external table by external table (right-click -&gt; script table as -&gt; drop and create to -&gt; File, etc.).</p>
  <p>Any advice is appreciated, thanks!</p>
