# Exports `datacontract export` converts a data contract to a target format. Use it to generate DDL, schemas, models, documentation, and data-quality artifacts directly from the contract. ```bash datacontract export html datacontract.yaml --output datacontract.html ``` Run `datacontract export --help` to see the format-specific options (e.g. `datacontract export sql --help`). If a format you need is missing, [open an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/datacontract/datacontract-cli/issues). For SQL dialects (`postgres`, `mysql`, `snowflake`, `databricks`, `sqlserver`, `trino`, `oracle`, `clickhouse`), use `datacontract export sql --dialect `. ## Example contract The examples on each export page are generated from the same data contract, so you can compare formats side by side: - [`examples/orders/orders.odcs.yaml`](https://github.com/datacontract/datacontract-cli/blob/main/examples/orders/orders.odcs.yaml) — an `orders` and `line_items` schema with a Snowflake and a BigQuery server. Used by most pages. - [`examples/user_interactions/user_interactions.odcs.yaml`](https://github.com/datacontract/datacontract-cli/blob/main/examples/user_interactions/user_interactions.odcs.yaml) — a Databricks contract with DQX quality rules. Used by the [`dqx`](./dqx.md) page. Download a file and run the commands below against it to reproduce the output. ## Available exporters
