SQL Documentation Tool 6.8

The SQL Documentation Tool creates comprehensive technical documentation reports for Microsoft SQL Server databases. Version 6.8 offers the following updates:
  • There is now an error reporting text box on the GUI. Brief details of errors are now added to this text box. Note that not all errors are serious, for example the SQL Documentation Tool will show full text index errors if the SQL Server does not have full text indexing available or configured, and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition does not support either DTS packages or Job schedules.
  • The SQL Documentation Tool will now document databases named using reserved words or other non-recommended naming (e.g. spaces or underscores).
  • Full application errors are now added to the log file.
  • The error trapping routines have been greatly improved detailed error messages are appended to the project's log file. Note that not all errors are serious, for example the SQL Documentation Tool will show full text index errors if the SQL Server does not have full text indexing available or configured, and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition does not support either DTS packages or Job schedules.
  • Fixed a small issue with the logging of SQL Server Job names to the log file.

Index Server Companion 2.9

  • The AddURLToTitle configuration option has improved support for HTML documents with blank title tags.
  • There is now a .NET Framework code sample for VB.NET. Find it in the Samples\Index Server with ASP.NET\ASP.NET\VB.NET folder within the Index Server Companion folder.

ASP Documentation Tool 6.3

The ASP Documentation Tool automatically creates comprehensive project documentation for ASP web applications written in either VBScript or JScript. Changes in version 6.3 are:
  • There are two new reports available from the Extras section. The Code Comments Report (VBScript) report shows the approximate amount of commented out VBScript code within each ASP file. The Code Comments Report (JScript) report shows the approximate amount of commented out JScript code within each ASP file. These reports can assist with code tidying and rationalisation projects. They can also help identify pages that need commenting.
