SQL Server Documentation Tool 6.6

SQL Server Documentation Tool 6.6 offers an effective tool which helps you to build high quality technical documentation for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, 2000 and 2005 databases. The technical documentation is created in HTML, HTML Help, RTF and plain text formats. The HTML Help format documentation is fully searchable and cross referenced and has a useful index. The SQL Documentation Tool documents SQL Server Tables, Views, Stored Procedures, Triggers, Table Relationships, Dependencies, Full-Text Catalogs, Jobs and DTS Packages. The new SQL Server 2005 MS_Description field is fully supported. Free trial version available for download. Documentation tools also available for ASP, and the .NET Framework (VB.NET and C#).

Major Features:

1. Reporting Formats:
   • Reports are created in a number of formats:
   • • Standard HTML
     • Microsoft's HTML Help
     • RTF (Word compatible document)
     • Text
   • Standard HTML: The HTML report is created using standard HTML and may be viewed in any web browser [view a sample].
   • Microsoft's HTML Help
   • • HTML Help is the standard file format used by most Windows applications to present their help documentation.
     • The HTML Help format documentation created for databases by the SQL Documentation Tool is fully cross referenced and searchable, and provides comprehensive database documentation in a single file [view a sample].
   • RTF
   • • The RTF format report is compatible with word processers such as Microsoft Word. The RTF report lists all of the tables within the databases in the project being documented [view a sample]. As such it can form the basis of written technical documentation for a database.
   • Text
   • • The plain text report contains a listing of the principal items in the database - tables, views, stored procedures and full-text catalogs. It can, therefore, be used to form the basis of other written reports and documentation for the database. [View a sample].
