Hi,

This one is OKay: http://sqldbdoc.codeplex.com/ command line utility, produces a single html file.

Or you can try my new tool LiveDoco web app (IIS, ASP.NET MVC3+JQuery): http://www.livedoco.com/

It's not free though :)

Yes, free options are also available, consider using...

I know this is an old thread but the free (workgroup edition) of our product XIA Configuration allows you to document all the databases and tables on a single SQL server instance including stored procedures, tables, functions and extended properties.

Follow this link to get the free license.

Hope this helps.

Hi IndikaD,

Recently we released powerful free tool that does that - Dataedo.

It supports SQL Server 2005+, Oracle 9i+ and other databases in near future. You can export to PDF and soon to Doc, HTML and Excel too.

Have a look at:
