SqlSpec - Database Documentation Generator

Aug 28, 2006

Just a quick note to let you all know about a shareware app I have written called SqlSpec. It generates docs for any SQL Server 2000 or 2005 database, together with dependency diagrams, and lots more. It has very good reviews from the people who have tried it out so far.

If you are looking for a very good and reasonably priced doc generator for you databases, why not take a look?

You can find out more here: www.elsasoft.org (http://www.elsasoft.org/default.htm?referrer=jezemine).

Thanks!

Report Server Database Documentation

May 8, 2007

Hail to all the serious Report Server users. Let us all start the documentation effort on Report Server Database (Reporting Services 2005). This will let us work around many problems that occur due to lask of documentation of the RS DB Schema.



Example :

Subscriptions table in the report server database can be used for handling the subscriptions manually. A DML statement coupled with the same on the sysjobs in msdb database can stop corrupt subscriptions (which cannot be modified directly using User Interfaces)

Current Problem

The problem that I am facing is related to the size of the Report Server (it is above 35 GBs, with 422 users) while its counter part with 128 users is only 4 GBs. This is due to a table ServerParametersInstance which is growing in an out-of-bound fashion. The lack of documentation is hurting.



So let us put in some effort & document the RS Database for good.



Any help is greatly appreciated...

Anybody have comments, recommendations, or possibly a nice word template that links everything up?

Thanks for the input.

Trigger Documentation

Jun 28, 2007

I am documenting a database.

When I view dependencies on a table I can see a view- so I go to views and copy the information.
But when there is a trigger as a dependency- I cannot find where to go to view it.

Are triggers within stored procedures somewhere? Or do they have their own separate place somewhere?

As you can see- I don’t know much about SQL…

Thanks

But The Documentation Is NOT Correct

Jul 23, 2005

The documentation saysISNUMERIC returns 1 when the input expression evaluates to a validinteger, floating point number, money or decimal type; otherwise itreturns 0. A return value of 1 guarantees that expression can beconverted to one of these numeric types.(Cut and pasted from books online)Yet the following, one of many, example shows this is not true.select isnumeric(char(9))select convert(int, char(9))-----------1(1 row(s) affected)Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 2Syntax error converting the varchar value '' to a column of data typeint.So, besides filtering every possible invalid character, how do youconvert dirty values without error. I am not concerned that I may loosepossibly valid values or convert suspect strings to 0 (zero). I justwant to run without raising an error

CHECKDB Error Documentation

Mar 7, 2007

Hi,

I have a question for Paul Randal. I was perusing the forums earlier and I came across a post where you mentioned that you had documented what each of the errors that CHECKDB returns means, but you did not link to this documentation. Perhaps I am just stupid, but I was unable to find this anywhere. Could you point me in the direction for this when you get a chance? I'd be interested in both the 2000 documentation and the 2005 documentation if you have it updated yet. Thanks.

GetDate() Formatting And Functions Documentation

Aug 20, 2006

I'm trying to do something very simple here but I keep getting stuck becuase I can't find much on getDate() in the documenation. Where, in the documenation, does it talk about truncating times, adding to times and all that good stuf.
Below is what I'm trying to do here: I have a while loop that adds to the starting hour of 6am 15 min until it gets to like 7pm. I do realize at this point that just adding 15 is suppsed to add 15 days based on what I have read, but I'm getting an error when I parse this and since I can't seem to find the docs I don't know what to do next?
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure PopulateDatabase, Line 32
