How To Generate Schema DDL Documentation in HTML

One of the most popular features in the DDL Wizard is its ability to generate an HTML documentation tree from the DDL in an Oracle database.

With the DDL Wizard, generating HTML which documents the structure of an Oracle database is a push button operation that takes a matter of minutes. Each element of the schema is presented on its own page and contains links to pages containing associated or dependent DDL objects. For example, a HTML page containing the DDL for a table would also contain links to the pages with that tables index and foreign key constraint DDL. In addition, any grants and synonyms allocated to the table would also be on view.

An HTML tree of the schema DDL is an intuitive and effective way to document your database. Place the documentation tree on your organizations intranet and it can be accessed by any member of your team with a web browser.

An HTML documentation tree of a sample database can be seen here. You can customize the look and feel of the HTML documentation pages if you wish. Here is a sample of a custom page and here is how it is done.
