Thread: documentation generator for pgsql
Just a quick note to let you all know about a shareware app I wrote called SqlSpec that will generate documentation for any PostgreSQL 8.0 and up database. As far as I know, this is the only doc generator tool on the market that works against PostgreSQL. In addition to PostgreSQL, it also supports SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, Sybase ASE, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Analysis Server, and Access. This encompasses pretty much 100% of the RDBMS on the market today. It's available here: http://www.elsasoft.org There are samples here, including one for pg: http://www.elsasoft.org/samples.htm Thanks, Jesse

There are a few others. http://freshmeat.net/projects/postgresql_autodoc http://dbmstools.sourceforge.net/ http://sqlfairy.sourceforge.net/ are some of the ones with explicit postgresql support I've played with in the past. I've had some luck using the ODBC or JDBC based ones too. > It's available here: http://www.elsasoft.org > > There are samples here, including one for pg: http:// > www.elsasoft.org/samples.htm Cheers, Steve
