Case Study
“We went from shabby documentation to full MSDN-style documented databases in mere minutes.”
— John Trumbul, Senior Software Engineer, Lumidata
Lumidata uses SQL Doc as part of the SQL Toolbelt.
Find out how John Trumbul saved a half-year of a developer's salary in his first three months of using the SQL Toolbelt.
“Wow! This is it. This is the one. This is what I expect from Redgate. I just uninstalled all the other test installs for every other documenter I have tried...this one wins HANDS DOWN. When we looked at this, there were three DBAs huddled around my monitors and we all had the same reaction...dead silence...and then words of awed exclamation.”
“This tool is embarrassingly easy to use.”
“What makes this product great in my opinion is its simplicity in use - I give this product a thumbs up and if you have a need for database documentation, then Redgate has you covered.”
“Damn, that's a sweet little tool, thanks. I have to say, you guys rock.”
“Crikey - they've done it again! Redgate has yet again released another stunningly simple product jam packed full of features.”
