dbdesc 3.0.1 Build 745

DbDesc is a powerful tool to help you document your databases. It can produce detailed documents describing your databases.
With dbdesc you are not tied to a specified output format or fixed look, you are in control. DbDesc will use XSLT templates to transform a XML file which holds your database description to get the final documentation. Sample XSLT templates are included to get html, rtf and Word 2003 files.
