Hi John,
thank you very much! I checked it out and it works smoothly! Since we use mvn we will stick to our usual solution using ddlutils and transforming the xml to xdoc so we can include it directly in our project documentation (html,pdf) though.

keep up the good work
cheers
Stephan

Stephan, you can modify SchemaSpy's .properties files to pull comment
information from wherever you want.  In your db's .properties files you
would put a selectTableCommentsSql and/or a selectColumnCommentsSql line
specifying the SQL that returns your comments.  The first SQL needs to
return table_name and comments for a given schema (optional) while the
second also needs to return column_name.

I don't believe that this feature is in the released version, but it's
available https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=737990&aid=1537790&group_id=137197 here .

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).
