Hi all,

I am looking for a tool that enables me to create NDoc-style documentation
of a database, including a listing of fields and their attributes within
tables. It is important that the description of a field is drawn from the
'Description' attribute of a column in SQL Server. It needs to be compatible
with both SQL2k and 2005.

If anybody knows of a tool such as this or one that comes close, I would
appreciate a pointer in the right direction....!

Thanks,

Soenke

BI Documenter might be what you are looking for. It does SQL Server and
Analysis Services databases and supports SQL Server 2000 and 2005.
