- I need suggestions for documenting an Informix database I support.
-
- It has been modified greatly since it was first created.
- I used the dbschema utility to create a fresh schema.
-
- The problem is the orignal sql files contained lots of valuable
- documentation.
-
- Is Informix self-documenting (meaning you can add descriptions somewhere
- in the database), or can someone suggest a method where I can make it
- self-documenting? (or I'll invent my own...)
-
- I'd like the descriptive info to be part of the database, not a separate
- file that must be maintained.
