Stunning. Quite simply awesome. I really like the way you have put this together.

For two years the need to document our 15+ SQL2000 DB's was becoming more and more urgent. First we were starting to document the most critical parts in MS Word, but it became quickly outdated, with all the consequences.

About half a year ago I came across SqlSpec version 3. At first I thought this program was overdone. All these tables, columns, defaults, dependencies, properties etc. But with the growing of our company these .chm files became a huge help for new programmers to know the data faster.

Also the batchfile generator is a welcome feature. We now schedule the main DB's at night so all documentation is accurate.

Finally the support is phenomenal. Had some trouble with one of the DB's, and received a debugged version within a few hours! The value for money is very high. I think every DBA needs this tool!

OH MY GOD!

That is perfect - absolutely ace! I'm rushing it to the client to get it going.

What astonishing service!!!! I can’t thank you enough – YOU HAVE SAVED MY BACON!

I hope someday to meet you in person and give you a BIG handshake and buy you a beer. In the meantime I’m telling all the techies I know to go try your product – I’ll let you know how the presentation goes too – I’m going to demo your tool documenting both Oracle and SQL server.

I can't thank you enough for creating a perfect solution to the needs to document the database, the relationship following stuff with diagrams is so perfect - it really helps the developers trace problems. XML commenting in stored procs is just bloody pure inspirational thinking - I wrote it down as one of the things I REALLY wanted from a tool but DOUBTED I would get - so pleased to see it on your feature list, even better to see that it works and creates fabulous help docs!

I spent a few days evaluating all your competitors prior to selecting your tool. I reckon you could charge $300 a copy, sweep the market from under APEX and BIDocumentor or whatever it's called - and build yourself a cool little team to grow this with - you have a MARKET WINNER!

Damn powerful stuff.

First off, I wanted to mention that SqlSpec is by far the coolest, most robust SQL Server documentation tool I've ever seen! I can't tell you how long I've been craving a tool like this! It'll be handy not only for in-depth documentation of a database implementation, but it'll be very useful during development or troubleshooting of stored procedures (procedure call chain, object dependencies, sample records, source code, etc.)

You have no idea how much time this will save me. I don't know if my words do this enough justice. Thanks again...

I am completely sold on this product. It's hard to believe that an application this inexpensive is capable of handling this much data so flawlessly. The final result of processing my largest database was 21,152 files clocking in at just under 1GB (940MB) of pure text/html. Documenting all of this manually would have been well beyond impossible.

Great product, even better support. Thank you so much.

The product worked great!

It is not tied at the hip to the IE browser which is a good thing. I wish more products were able to use different browsers. The Great Plains product has 2 large databases. The GP database and TWO database. A third database uniquely called TEST is also installed by GP but it is identical to the GP database. Here's how many objects SqlSpec documented in each:

GREAT PLAINS DATABASE tables 1217 views 147 stored procedures 16868 user defined functions 42 triggers 64 defaults 10

TWO DATABASE tables 996 views 97 stored procedures 13966 user defined functions 0 triggers 42 defaults 10

Thanks for providing such a useful and effective tool.

I started using SqlSpec a few weeks ago and, in a few short weeks, it's helped make change management much easier.

Look at the competition - $300-$500+ for the same thing?  Forget it!  For a fraction of the cost of other data dictionary software, SqlSpec is the best deal going. Buy it!

I've demo'ed SqlSpec in the last four SQL classes I've taught.  I'm telling you, I love that software!

This is the most useful piece of software that I have seen in a long while.

I currently need to develop a data dictionary and I couldn't find my CD for ERWIN. I was faced with writing scripts and producing it in Word then I found this.

THANK YOU for doing this (it has saved hours of work) and keeping it at such an affordable price.

I certainly like the config file because it does allow you to fine tune your document further (exclusions are excellent concept).

DBDocumentor has some nice features to it but SQLSpec beats it in a number of areas, i.e (data models, exclusions, presentation overall)

Keep up the good work!!!

Best money I ever spent! Awesome! It works! You rock.

I am integrating the chm files into an "all inclusive" DBA database on-line book using RoboHelp. This is just the thing I need to keep track of all this crazy stuff. This is a great tool.

I am using it to troubleshoot loading problems on an app (the db I was having problems with). This is proving invaluable in hunting down dependencies.

Thanks again!
