DbDesc is a tool that helps you to document your databases. It can produce detailed documents describing your databases. With dbdesc you are not tied to a specified output format or fixed look, you are in control. DbDesc will use XSLT templates to transform a XML file which holds your database description to get the final documentation. Sample XSLT templates are included to get html, rtf and Word 2003 files.
You can completely customize the output using XSL templates. HTML, RTF, and Word 2003 templates are included. DbDesc has a command line interface that allows you to schedule or integrate the automatic documentation of any database.
