SQL Documentation Tool 7.2

SQL Documentation Tool 7.2 is designed as a powerful tool which can help you easily create technical documentation for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, 2000, 2005 and 2008 databases.

Technical documentation is created in HTML, HTML Help, RTF and plain text formats. The HTML Help format documentation is fully searchable and cross referenced. The SQL Documentation Tool documents SQL Server Tables, Views, Stored Procedures, Triggers, Table Relationships, Dependencies Full-Text Catalogs, Jobs and DTS Packages. The SQL Server 2005 MS_Description field is fully supported in databases that include it.

This can be viewed in any web browser. The HTML Help format documentation is fully cross referenced and searchable, and provides comprehensive database documentation in a single file. The RTF and text format reports can be used as a basis for your organisation's own database documentation.

Major Features:

1. Tables
   • Column names.
   • Whether the column is a primary key.
   • Column data types.
   • Column lengths.
   • Whether the column is nullable.
   • Table relationships to primary and foreign keys.
   • Whether there are Triggers associated with the table.
   • Table indexes.
   • Dependency information.
2. Views
   • Column names.
   • Column data types.
   • Column lengths.
   • Whether column is nullable.
   • Dependency information.
   • SQL script for creating each View.
3. Stored Procedures
   • Column names.
   • Column data types.
   • Column lengths.
   • Column type (input/output)
   • Dependency information.
   • The Create Procedure SQL script for creating the stored procedure.
4. Functions
   • Column names.
   • Column data types.
   • Column lengths.
   • Column type (input/output)
   • Dependency information.
   • The Create Function SQL script for creating the function.
5. Triggers
   • Shows which table is associated with the trigger.
   • Shows which SQL actions (insert, update, delete) the trigger is associated with.
   • Dependency information.
   • The Create Trigger SQL script for creating the trigger.
6. Full-Text Catalogs
   • Shows the full-text catalogs that may be associated with a database.
   • Shows the tables and table columns in each full-text catalog.
7. Extended descriptions. Most entities (tables, stored procedures, table columns etc.) in SQL Server 2005 and above can have descriptions added to them through the SQL Server Management Studio. Where present, the SQL Documentation Tool includes these in the documentation. See the SQL Documentation Tool sample documentation for the AdventureWorks database for an example of a fully documented database.
8. For each database server documented, the SQL Documentation Tool can optionally include the following:
   • DTS Packages
   • • Details of DTS Packages.
   • SQL Server Agent Jobs
   • • Details of scheduled jobs.
     • Steps associated with each job.
     • Each job's schedule.
9. For convenience the SQL Documentation Tool allows more than one database to be documented in a single help file - the databases can even be located on different servers.
   
10. The Transact SQL code associated with Views, Stored Procedures and Triggers is included in the documentation created by the SQL Documentation Tool. This SQL can be optionally colour coded and syntax highlighted for easy reference.
