Nice article but why do you say you will never need to use this again?

I've been using Excel to design tables for a few years, table designs can then easily be shared with the rest of the team, comments can be added and changes easily made. Its also fairly easy to lift the data from Excel and drop it into Word for the design documentation.

Once the design is final its a quick job to build the create table/index/foreign key scripts as your article details.
