Comprehensive HTML Database Documentation

This script will document tables (including constraints and triggers, row counts, sizes on disk), views (including all used fields), stored procedures (including used fields and parameters), database users, database settings and server settings.

This script has been cobbled together from several others found on this site, so they deserve the recognition, not me 🙂

Simply execute it on the database you wish to document.
