"SQL Scribe is a valuable utility for anyone with a SQL Server/MSDE database. It provides a developer with an interface that is 'alive', as opposed to pages of printouts that are 'dead' the minute they are printed. I have presented this utility to many conferences and user groups and have had only thanks for enlightening developers to this utility."

Technical Details
SQL Scribe will interrogate a SQL 2000 or SQL 2005 database and extract the database schema. This schema information is stored in an SQL Server database. Using any readily available browser the developers can navigate though the system documentation which is laid out in a easy to read and logical way.

Using IIS to generate the HTML pages means that hundreds of developers and end-users can access your documentation. All HTML pages are cross indexed and linked. This means that with one click you can go from looking at Table documentation to looking at a dependant Stored Procedure. Finding all the dependant object has never been so easy.

  • Reverse engineer any SQL 2000 or SQL 2005 database
  • Full dependant list and SQL Script for every object
  • Include Diagrams and pictures in your documentation
  • Title search and scribe search for any object
  • Browser independent i.e. Use MS IE , Netscape,..
  • All pages cross reference and link to all SQL objects
  • Offline storage of your SQL Script. This can be used for disaster recovery purposes
  • Colour and Style is controlled by Style sheets. This means you can customize the look and feel to suit your needs.
  • Create HTMLHelp from your SQL Server Documentation.
  • Supports extended properties in SQL 2000 or above
  • Wizard Interface for easy of use
  • Optional Build parameters
  • Fully command line compatible for scheduling
