Stephan,

I see. If you find any solution for this purpose, I would be interested in.
Good luck, Achim

Hi Achim,
thank you very much for your reply. SchemaSpy is a nice tool but does not suite our requirements.

The problem is that we are using different databases and can't store the comments for the tables / fields directly in the databases. So we want to generate the db-schema.xml using DdlUtils and add the description to the table / field definitions with an extra attribute (description / comment) manually. After that we want to generate a html / xdoc / pdf documentation on the basis of the edited db-schema.xml.
As you know without comments the database documentation is useless.

Do you have any ideas / suggestions how we could do this?

thx a lot
Stephan

Try SchemaSpy at sourceforge. It reads your database directly (without DdlUtils schema).

Hi everyone!
I am using DdlUtils to generate the db-schema.xml of our database (with DatabaseToDdlTask).

Now that I have this pretty db-schema.xml I am wondering how to generate html / xdoc / pdf documentation out of this file. Can someone please tell me how to do that?

thx a lot
Stephan
