Data dictionaries

  • Looking at various options, obviously looking for the least amount of work for the biggest bang. Re: table.field definition/explanations, it seems like extended properties is an option, but then a separate 'document-er' is needed to create a doc that's easily accessible...

    FWIW, I was a little amused by the fact that searching for Data dictionary did not return any direct results in the forums.

    Looking at various options, obviously looking for the least amount of work for the biggest bang. Re: table.field definition/explanations, it seems like extended properties is an option, but then a separate 'document-er' is needed to create a doc that's easily accessible...

    FWIW, I was a little amused by the fact that searching for Data dictionary did not return any direct results in the forums.

    I just found quite a few results searching for the same. I filtered the search to just sqlservercentral.com and got over 1000 hits. I used this for the search criteria:
    Data dictionary "sql server" site:sqlservercentral.com
    If you  remove the site filter, you can get over a million hits. Try those searches - there are quite a few different approaches other than extended properties. And there are some queries when I was searching...depends on what you are looking for so try the searches and see if you find something along the lines of what you are looking for.
