SQL Dependency Tracker

SQL Dependency Tracker makes life easier.
Tracking dependencies by hand traditionally relies on the personal knowledge of whoever designed the database in the first place. If that person has moved on or is indisposed, business continuity suffers. Automated SQL Server dependency tracking and reporting minimizes downtime and ensures business continuity.

Tasks rendered dramatically faster by SQL Dependency Tracker include:

• Quickly visualizing areas of complexity with dependency diagrams and text-based dependency checker
• Tracking down potential "collateral damage" before you push database changes through
• Simple documentation of object dependencies for archiving, reporting, version control, and auditing

Main Features include:

• Fast dependency graphs mapping all SQL 2000, 2005 and 2008 objects
• Powerful interactive graphical display in six zoomable layout modes
• Print directly from the diagram or export as PDF
• Proprietary dependency engine, independent of Microsoft sysdepends table

SQL Dependency Tracker Feature list

• Graphically track and explore your SQL Server 2000, 2005 and 2008 database object dependencies.
• Analyze the impact of changes – Add objects to your diagram, and objects which use them will be added automatically.
• Show source SQL scripts for objects – See the SQL definition of an object for more detail.
• Track cross-database dependencies – See external references and follow them between databases.
• Multiple databases, one diagram – Track dependencies between several related databases in the same diagram and project.
• Customize your diagrams – Move objects around and change their colors.
• Print directly from the diagram or export as PDF
• Search, sort and filter objects – Track down the objects you're interested in.
• Copy diagrams to other programs – Use diagrams in word processing documents, presentations, and other applications.
• Export XML – Export an XML definition of dependencies for offline processing.
• Choice of layouts – Choose from multiple automatic layouts to arrange your diagram neatly and make navigation easy.
• Load/save diagrams as projects – Save all relevant dependency information in a project, so you can explore the diagram offline with no connection to the database.
• Include or hide constraints – See check constraints, indexes and foreign keys either as objects or as dependencies between objects.
• Optional system object and filegroup dependencies – Hide these dependencies to minimise clutter, or show them for completeness.
• Show column names – Show column names on tables and views.
• Find independent objects – Find potential "orphans" with no dependencies on other objects, to help you clean up your database.
