Hi all,
I need to document a database, and I do need output in Word so that I can edit the output.
I need to describe table and field structure, used objects, dataflow, workflow,
What are the options?
I can think of the 'documentor' build in Access or third party tools like Total Access Analyser (FMS)?
I tested the documentor and exported the reports as rtf to Word.
It is doable for the object descriptions but not nice to work with ...
I downloaded a trial of TAA and looked at it.
TAA seems like a bit of 'overkill' for my needs (300+ reports).
Also I don't think even TAA is capable of exporting the reports to Word, or am I mistaken here?
Is there something 'in between' these two options I mentioned?
What do others here use for their documenting needs?
Thanks,
Arno R

Hi Arno,
You could try my new CSD Tools Database Documentation Version 2.0.
It documents several areas of your database and Version 2 now supports
direct output to Word and Excel.
It is no where close to the complexity of TAA and won't provide for all
of your needs, but mine is free so you have nothing to lose.
:-)
You can download the free add-in from this page of my site. Please read
all the instructions and warnings: http://home.bendbroadband.com/conrad.../csdtools.html
In addition, this page on my site may help with tables: http://home.bendbroadband.com/conrad.../doctable.html
Hope you find it useful,

Hi
If you still interested in a tool to documentating databases (Oracle,
SQL Server2000, MS Access and very soon SQL Server 2005) please take
some time to check out our software on www.dbmanual.com
Their is a free evalutaion tool available!
All documentation will be placed in the famous MSDN style and their is
also a tool to automated this task at a certain time.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me

I've included the code and traceback at the end of this post.
The odd thing is, using DEPRECATED FUNCTIONS to perform the same

I have a database documentation question, but I am not even sure how
to phrase it properly so I don't know where to start looking for

We are developing a database that is based on several different data
standards and schema. I'm finding it confusing to keep it all
straight. What's this field for? Which standards document is it based
on? What are the permitted values? Which business rule governs it?
In theory, we do have all...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
