Creating the perfect schema documentation

script

Description
System views allow us to gain access to information about any objects within SQL Server, from
tables to extended properties to check constraints. This information can be collected and used
for many purposes, one being the need to document our objects without the need to click
endlessly in the GUI or to incur an immense amount of manual work.

In our continuing effort to make good use of these views, we’ll take the data we previously
collected in the previous article on Schema Documentation and use that information to build an
easy-to-use and customizable solution that will allow us to efficiently reproduce, analyze, or
model any database schema.
