Database Design and Documentation

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good websites/books on Database Design and Documentation.

Any help will be gratefully received.

Cheers,

Re: Database Design and Documentation

For the documentation of MS-SQL databases (including SQL Server 2005) you might want to try SchemaToDoc (http://www.schematodoc.com). The product documents: primary keys, fields (type, size, default, nullable), indexes, check constraints, foreign keys, triggers, stored procedures, views, and extended properties. It also lets you annotate your tables and fields. The output is a Word doc or a series of linked HTML files

Good books are rarely free.

What level are you starting from?
