Integrated Database Versioning and Documentation with dbscript 1.02

Posted on by

dbscript 1.02 adds support for edmx-based projects. If have previously written about generating documentation out of edmx files, and these documentation generators are now part of dbscript.

This is the updated table of Documentation Generators in dbscript 1.02:

Generated Documentation

MS SQL Server Oracle PostgreSql edmx
dbscript HTML view view view
dbscript Single HTML view view view view
view
HTML (single file) view view view view
view
MediaWiki view view view view
view
ScrewTurn Wiki (V2) view view view
ScrewTurn Wiki (V3) view view view
Word HTML view view view view
view

The XSLT files on which the Documentation Generators depend for their functionality are now computed by a separate tool I wrote for this purpose, making the generated documentation more consistent throughout the different formats and databases.

Developers are free to adjust the shipped XSLT style sheets according to their layout and content needs.

Other features

  • Data diagrams can now be restricted to a certain Object Selection resulting in a diagram showing only a part of the full model.
  • Update notifications are implemented via JSONP
  • Some fixes

dbscript is available for download here.
