Documenter - How to Pick Which Column Properties to Display?

Post by mraff » Tue 06 Apr 2021 23:17

I'm using the data documenter for dbForge for MySQL, to try to generate an overview of all the tables in my database. The main thing I want is a listing of tables, and for each column, I want:

Name
Data type
Constraints
Keys
Comments

In the documentation generator, when I click on "tables", there's a section called "Groups" with options like:

Columns
Virtual Columns
Indexes
Check Constraints
Triggers
etc.

When I togle the "columns" option, that determines whether the output has a listing of columns.

However, the output gives me these fields:

Key,Name,Data Type,Length,Precision,Scale,Unsigned,Zerofill,Binary,Not Null,Auto Increment,Default,Virtual Description

I don't want all those fields! Especially I don't want Precision, Scale, Unsigned, Zerofill, and Binary. How do I get rid of these? Is there no customization option?
