以下的文章主要是介绍 SQL Server 数据字典的HTML格式，SQL Server数据字典的HTML格在实际中的应用比例还是占为多数的，如果你对这一技术，心存好奇的话，以下的文章将会揭开它的神秘面纱。
运行下面的脚本来生成数据字典，并保存结果到一个扩展名为“.htm”的文件中。
生成数据字典的示例T-SQL脚本
- Set nocount on
- DECLARE @TableName nvarchar(35)
- DECLARE Tbls CURSOR
- FOR
- Select distinct Table_name
- FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
- --put any exclusions here
- --where table_name not like '%old'
- order by Table_name
- OPEN Tbls
- PRINT '<HTML><body>'
- FETCH NEXT FROM Tbls
- INTO @TableName
- WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
- BEGIN
- PRINT '</br>'
- PRINT '<table border="1">'
- Print '<B>' + @TableName + '</B>'
- PRINT '</br>'
- --Get the Description of the table
- --Characters 1-250
- Select substring(cast(Value as varchar(1000)),1,250) FROM

- and name = 'MS_Description' and minor_id = 0
- --Characters 251-500
- Select substring(cast(Value as varchar(1000)),251, 250) FROM

这个脚本将被安排作为一个工作来运行，所以你不需要担心要手动更新文档。
因为你将文档存储在数据库中，所以你不必担心拥有多个拷贝并指出哪个是***的。它还会与数据库一起备份。
以上的相关内容就是对HTML格式的SQL Server数据字典 的介绍，望你能有所收获。
