| Newbie here.I'm going through a very tedious process of documenting tables and fields for a third party database, with an eye toward creating lots of SSRS Reports. I'm making progress, but I was wondering if there's a slick way to export all the tables, fields and key relationships.Thanks in Advance,TodzillaWestern HemisphereSQL 2008 R2 Noob |
