Recently our database manager has asked us to do the unthinkable.... document our databases! To make matters worse, and without our input, he went ahead and created a schema and put it in an Access database (using tables to make it look like a speadsheet). Either we use his idea or come up with something else.

So, I thought I'd ask everyone on the list how you do it. Text files? In a database (oracle, or other)? Spreadsheets? What are the pros and cons? Etc....

Thanks,

Alan
