plsqldoc with tables and views

[vb.de]

Hi,
I manged to get a documentaion generated from package source code, but what is need as input for a table documentaion.
I tried a create-table-script, but the function 'Generate Documentation' is greyed out and cannot be used.
Must I be connected to the database and select the tables I want to get documented on the object tree?

Thanks for help.

The documentation for a table or view is generated from the definition in the Oracle database. It does not use a source file. Therefore you cannot explicitly add comments in a source, beyond the table and column level comments that you can already define in SQL.

Is it worth to add this ability to a future version?

Unlike PL/SQL program units, there is no "source" stored in the Oracle dictionary from where we can pick up the comments. We could add a specific option for a "create table" script of course. I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.
