Redgate DLM Automation, which features in this article, is now part of SQL Change Automation. Find out moreIn my previous post, “Automating Deployments with SQL Compare command line” I looked at how teams can automate the deployment and post deployment validation of SQL Server databases using the command line versions of Redgate tools. In this post I’m looking at another use for the command line tools, namely using them to generate up-to-date documentation with every database change.There are many reasons why up-to-date documentation is valuable. For example when somebody new has to work on or administer a database for the first time, or when a new database comes into service. Having database documentation reduces the risks of making incorrect decisions when making changes. Documentation is very useful to business intelligence analysts when writing reports, for example in SSRS. There are a couple of great examples talking about why up to date documentation is valuable on this site: Database Documentation – Lands of Trolls: Why and How? and Database Documentation Using SQL Doc. The short answer is that it can save you time and reduce risk when you need that most!SQL Doc is a fast simple tool that automatically generates database documentation. It can create documents in HTML, Word or pdf files. The documentation contains information about object definitions and dependencies, along with any other information you want to associate with each object.The SQL Doc GUI, which is included in Redgate’s SQL Toolbelt and SQL Toolbelt Essentials, allows you to add

About using CI servers for automating database tasks on the Redgate Database Delivery webpage. You may be interested in Redgate’s SQL CI utility (part of DLM Automation) which is an easy way to update a database with the latest changes from source control.The PowerShell example below shows how to create the documentation from a database. That database might be your integration database or a shared development database that is always up to date with the latest changes. 12345678910111213141516171819202122 $serverName = "server\instance"$databaseName = "databaseName" # If you want to document multiple databases use a comma separated list $userName = "username"$password = "password"# Path to SQLDoc.exe$SQLDocPath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Redgate\SQL Doc 3\SQLDoc.exe"$arguments = @( "/server:$($serverName)", "/database:$($databaseName)", "/username:$($userName)", "/password:$($password)", "/filetype:html", "/outputfolder:.",# "/project:$args[0]", # If you already have a .sqldoc project file you can pass it as an argument to this script. Values in the project will be overridden with any options set on the command line "/name:$databaseName Report", "/copyrightauthor:$([Environment]::UserName)")write-host $arguments& $SQLDocPath $arguments There are several options you can set on the command line to vary how your documentation is created. For example, you can document multiple databases or exclude certain types of objects. In the example above, we set the name of the report to match the database name, and use the current Windows user as the documentation author. For more examples of how you can customise the report from the command line please see the SQL Doc command line documentationIf you already have a .sqldoc project file, or wish to further customise

On top of what’s already a stable and trustworthy core.” SQL Compare is one of our oldest products so technically this has taken a lot of thought and time to get right. Functionally, everything will work the same, but now you’ll find the user interface cleaner, more intuitive, and a lot easier to work with.We’ve been avidly listening to our users during development and incorporated their feedback throughout the beta period, so we hope you’ll share sentiments like this:“I 100% like the new look and feel. The product is very easy to use and somehow you managed to incorporate a lot of familiarity with the updated look which I think is spot on. Not enough to cause data professionals to go into a panic but enough for us to be wowed.”Chris Yates – DBA Manager – Republic BankIt’s not only a visual overhaul: you can now easily switch between Redgate products from inside your tools. The tools you switch to will also detect which database you were working on. For example, if you’ve just documented a database with SQL Doc and you switch to SQL Compare, that database will be set as your source for a comparison:SQL Server 2016SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare 12 support major new features in SQL Server 2016, so when you’re ready to move to 2016, Redgate is here to support you. The comparison tools already safely handle:Dynamic Data MaskingRow Level SecurityIn-memory OLTP tablesJSON syntax and stretch tablesNext up we’ll be tackling support for Temporal
