Dbdesc 2.0 Released!

dbdesc homepageThis week I finally managed to release dbdesc 2.0. This version adds a couple of features that will make dbdesc much more useful.

The first one is that you can choose exactly which objects you want to document. Until now you had the option to not document tables, views, etc. but it was an all or nothing option.

The second one is that dbdesc has a built-in extended property editor. Now, it is very easy to add descriptions to your objects (a really painful and time-consuming task using the Enterprise Manager or the Query Analyzer). The editor allows you to manage not only the classic MS_Description but to add and manage your own extended properties.

By the way, this version coincides (more or less) with the first anniversary of dbdesc. I have lots of exciting features planned to keep improving the product but, as always, I look forward to hear your comments and suggestions.
