Forgot to mention I'm on Progress. But yes, found the data dictionary html files so this should help, thanks anyway.

Hello,

Is is possible to dump out of view the items within the data dictionary? I am wanting a list, by table, of each field, data type and description - is this possible? When I look at the data tools of the data dictionary it states it is using 'DBFile' but I cannot access this via a BAQ.

Hit it w/ ODBC or SQL. It’s not BAQ-able. FYI, on the files area of this group there’s also a Data Dictionary in HTML format.

Hello,

Is is possible to dump out of view the items within the data dictionary? I am wanting a list, by table, of each field, data type and description - is this possible? When I look at the data tools of the data dictionary it states it is using 'DBFile' but I cannot access this via a BAQ.

For what it's worth I use Navicat Premium 9.1.8 to connect to the SQL server and view all the tables in the raw. A lot more user friendly than SQL Mgmt studio. I can see all of my tables and their fields at a quick glance. I do caution that because you can update fields on the fly with Navicat it could be dangerous in the wrong hands. I don't use it on our production DB.
