I am asked to extract the oracle database dictionary from a tool. They used to do that with power designer 12.5.
They generate a report and it represents in a html format. This report includes all tables and columns information’s, and programmers easily can ready it. The bad thing about it, it needs about a week to make such report (reverse engineering, customizing...). They are trying to find a fast tool so they can generate a daily data dictionary tool.
For now i have found Oracle Data Modeler, but I will download it to see if its a fast tool.
my question: do you know a fast tool to quickly generate a data dictionary report ?

Answer 1

Oracle's SQL Developer tool will produce an html formatted data dictionary very quickly and easily, as I recall. The data modeller functionality is probably more complex than you need.

Answer 2

the poor mans solution : generate html report from sqlplus

break on owner , table_name skip 1
set html markup on 
spool dailyDataDictionaryReport.html

select  owner,table_name,column_name,data_type,data_length,data_precision
from    all_tab_columns
where   owner not in ('SYS','SYSOPER','XDB');

spool off
set html markup off

I think TOAD might have a good wziard for that.
