SQL Documentation Tool for SQL Server 8.0

The SQL Documentation Tool is a complete database documentor 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 8.0 offers the following updates:

  • Added a Check for Updates menu command to the GUI (not visible in the evaluation version).

  • Decreased font size in RTF report to 10 point.

  • Added a new project option: Include MS_Description in RTF. If checked then
    the RTF format report incorporates the table, view, stored procedure and function descriptions from the databases that have been documented.

  • RTF report now indicates if the database does not contain any stored procedures or
    functions.

  • Fixed a minor issue with the progress bar which was affecting the documentation of empty
    databases.

  • Improved the extraction of Function descriptions from SQL Server 2005's MS_Description fields.
