Documenter for SQL Server 2008

[Roger Wright]

Is there such a thing? Access ships with a built in documenter, which I find handy in print form to use as a reference when I'm trying to wrote code to manipulate it. I never can remember all the field names and types 20 minutes after I create a database... I can get a list of field names using a select query against 'information_schema.columns' and I can print that, but it's not a very convenient format; all I want is the field name, type, and width (for text). Is there a freely available tool to simplify this task?

There's an article right here on the Code Project which might help: SqlDoc: Document your SQL Server database[^] Or, a quick google for "sql server free schema documentation tool" brings up over 85,000 results, at least one of which might be helpful. DBScribe is good, although it's not free. But at just $99 it's not exactly going to break the bank. It might be overkill for what you're looking for, though.
