DBDocumentor produces Datenbank documentation for the SQL objects in your Datenbank project.  The list of SQL objects documented varies with the SQL dialect chosen, and DBDocumentor currently supports; Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and below, Firebird 1.5, and Sybase ASA 9 and below. Generating reference documentation for a SQL Datenbank using DBDocumentor is as simple as selecting the SQL dialect, the object types to include and the source files to process. Within a few minutes DBDocumentor generates a fully cross referenced view of the SQL Datenbank, including where data is sourced from and what objects are modifying data in what other objects. The cross referencing extends to procedure and Sicherheit usage, clearly showing which procedures are used where, and under what Sicherheit context. These capabilities make DBDocumentor ideal for those wishing to learn the structure of a given Datenbank, or simply to document the Datenbank for future reference.  

Extended capabilities include declarative object grouping, support for DBMS metadata based descriptions like those provided in SQL Server Enterprise Manager or SQL Server Management Studio, SQL dialect specific syntax color coding, control over the documentation of temporary objects and dynamic SQL, and the generation of XML output. All documentation is generated by reading the source SQL batch files and requires no active Datenbank connection, or any Datenbank connectivity Werkzeuge.

DBDocumentor produced documentation is perfect as printed Datenbank application documentation for:
- Client documentation for software development consulting projects
- Online access for middle tier developers to develop against a documented Datenbank interface
- Determining the degree of data exposure and risk by specific Datenbank functions, procedures and Reporting Services reports
- Determining the degree of dynamic SQL used in the Datenbank, and what data sources are impacted by the use of dynamic SQL
