SQL Data Dictionary

What SQL Data Dictionary is

SQL Data Dictionary generates database documentation for SQL Server relational databases, including Azure SQL Database. It documents tables, views, stored procedures, and functions down to column-level details. Generated output can include indexes, primary and foreign keys, and information about database objects used by procedures and functions. Documentation is available as PDF, HTML, or XML. An included editor lets users add descriptions to database objects directly in the database, while data lineage and data-dictionary support help record schema relationships and definitions. The Windows product requires .NET Framework 4.8 or later. The maker requires one license for each user. The SQL Data Dictionary Single User License costs $149.99, paid once and includes full email support and free upgrades to future versions.
