DBDocumentor produces database
documentation for the
SQL objects in your database project.� � The list of
SQL objects documented varies with the
SQL dialect chosen, and
DBDocumentor currently supports; Microsoft
SQL Server 2005 and below, Firebird 1.5, and Sybase
SQL Anywhere (ASA) 10 and below.
Generating reference
documentation for a
SQL database using
DBDocumentor is as simple as selecting the
SQL dialect, the object types to include and the source files to process.
Within a few minutes
DBDocumentor generates a fully cross referenced view of the
SQL database, including where data is sourced from and what objects are modifying data in what other objects.
The cross referencing extends to procedure and security usage, clearly showing which procedures are used where, and under what security context.
These capabilities make
DBDocumentor ideal for those wishing to learn the structure of a given database, or simply to document the database for future reference.Ã? Ã?Â
Extended capabilities include declarative object grouping, support for DBMS metadata based descriptions like those provided in
SQL Server Enterprise Manager or
SQL Server Management Studio,
SQL dialect specific syntax color coding, control over the
documentation of temporary objects and dynamic SQL, and the generation of XML output.
All
documentation is generated by reading the source
SQL batch files and requires no active database connection, or any database connectivity tools.
DBDocumentor produced
documentation is perfect as printed database application
documentation for:
-
Client
documentation for software development consulting projects
-
Online access for middle tier developers to develop against a documented database interface
-
Determining the degree of data exposure and risk by specific database functions, procedures and Reporting Services reports
-
Determining the degree of dynamic
SQL used in the database, and what data sources are impacted by the use of dynamic SQL
