SQL Documentation Tool 7.7 for SQL Server

The SQL Documentation Tool is a complete documentation solution for Microsoft SQL Server databases. It automatically creates comprehensive technical documentation reports for databases, saving valuable developer time and money.

Reports are created in HTML [sample], Microsoft's HTML Help [sample], RTF [sample] and text [sample] formats. Color coded, syntax highlighted copies of the Transact SQL associated with stored procedures, functions and views are included with the reports. The compiled HTML Help reports includes an index and search facility.

Version 7.7 offers the following updates:

  • Database Stored Procedures and Functions are now listed separately within the documentation; in previous versions of the SQL Documentation Tool they were all listed as Stored Procedures.

  • The connection test functionality now warns if the connection test was not completely successful.

  • The internal connection string builder functionality has been rewritten. Benefits to the end user include much better support for SQL Server 2005.

  • The connection settings window has a database server type drop-down list. This ensures
    the full capabilities of SQL Server 2005 and above are utilised by the documentor.
