The time taken to make a documentation snapshot in BI Documenter has been dramatically reduced thanks the use of a new embedded database engine for snapshot storage and retrieval: Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition 2005.
Using version BI Documenter 2.0 to make a snapshot of the "AdventureWorks" sample database now averages around 20 seconds, representing a two-fold increase in application performance over the previous version of BI Documenter.
In addition to this massive performance increase, the new database engine included in the BI Documenter 2.0 also delivers significantly increased reliability, including support for “self-healing” and management technologies that are designed to handle “instant off”.
And because SQL Server Compact Edition 2005 supports connectivity via the SQL Compact OLEDB data provider, your metadata is now more accessible than ever.
BI Documenter 2.0 is a free upgrade for all paid users of previous versions of BI Documenter.
