    Good Morning Everyone,

     

    I was just wondering if there is a software package that exists that you can run and against an SQL Database that creates a Data Dictionary.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

    Check apex sql doc. It creates a chm file (or html version) and it does quite a good job at it.

    Remi,

     

    Thanks for the advice.  The software would work great except the database that I am working on is set to a compatibility level of 65 and this requires a compatibility level of 70 or 80. Any suggestions?

     

    Thanks

    Upgrade !!

    No I don't know any other software than that.

    What happens if you convert your db (a backup on another server) to 8.0 and document it. Would it be close enough? I can some set options may change but the core (table, columns, views...) will still be there.

    It priecy, but ER/Studio is my favorite modelling and in general documentation tool. Not sure about compatibility. Cost is about 4K.
