DB Engine :: Retrieving Table And Index Object Definitions In Server

I am currently investigating the best way to handle partition swapping where the partition scheme is built on several file groups.  In order to swap partitions, both partitions need to be on the same file group.  In addition, the file groups and partitions are automatically updated once a month meaning that there is a scheduled job that adds a new file group, file group files, and updates the related partition objects.If I am forced to create a new non-partition table on the same file group as the partition of the target table, what would be the best way to create the target table without hard coding the full table definition and clustered index?  I know that I can query the systables and syscolumns views to reconstruct a basic SQL statement to build the table definition and views  Is there a SQL Server function that I can use to just give me the object definitions? Unfortunately, the OBJECT_ DEFINITION function doesn't apply to tables or indexes. URL....
