Hi,
Can I use schemaspy or schemaspyGUI on sql 2012 onwards ? I tried with getting following errors

Ahhh... he who persists, wins. The problem is that those commands are supposed to be ran against schemaspy itself of course.

First thing you need to do is to download the JTDS driver https://sourceforge.net/projects/jtds/files/

Important thing to know is if you use user/password or single-sign-on (SSO/Windows Auth). The latter is the case here, so I'll use it for this example since it involves a additional action. Unpack where you want, I just used C:\bin\schemaspy\driver path for this since I want to avoid spaces in path names like the plague. Next move into that jtds folder and then into x64 (or x86 if thats your thing, unlikely but possible I guess) folder and then SSO and copy the ntlmauth.dll file to your JRE bin folder e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_91\bin.

Ensure you have Graphviz installed, obtain it from http://www.graphviz.org/Download_windows.php. You should probably add its location and bin folder to your environment variables PATH e.g. PATH=some;entries;go;here;C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin so that it can find the dot executable for drawing graphs.

Finally you can open PS and issue something along the lines of:

PS C:\bin\schemaspy\gui> java -jar "C:\bin\schemaspy\schemaSpy_5.0.0.jar" -dp C:\bin\schemaspy\driver\jtds\jtds-1.3.1.jar -t mssql05-jtds -db WmoPlatform -host localhost -port 1433 -sso -connprops C:\bin\schemaspy\gui\properties\mssql05-jtds.properties -o c:\usr\output -s dbo

Voila,.... you're done

A bit late, which more or less shows this project as being 'dead' (in my book at least) since no one responded in the meantime. The project is borked for MSSQL on from 2008. It references the wrong class, to begin with. Second it ignores the .properties file you pass it. Even if you do, it still refuses to use it (via GUI) or when started with full command line switches (I use powershell) it simply ignores all those parameters and plays 'dumb' that it doesn't know what the driver is even when -dp is used.

I've been having a go at this for about half an hour now and all I can conclude is that it is seriously broken for Windows users. But in case this is of any use still, my PS command is:

PS C:\bin\schemaspy\gui> java -jar .\schemaSpyGUI.jar -t mssql-jtds -db WmoPlatform -host localhost -port 1433 -u myusername -connprops "C:\bin\schemaspy\gui\properties\mssql-jtds.properties" -dp "C:\bin\schemaspy\drivers\jtds\jtds-1.3.1.jar"

It opens the GUI with /no/ properties filled in (maybe it still uses them?) but trying to run, it simply refuses for all the missing properties. So starting from the command line does not work. Try filling in those properties in the GUI and it will bitch about the wrong class name (it isn't jtds.sqlserver but the other way around).

No one ever took the time to properly implement 2008 support but even when trying to correct these wrong parameters, it simply will always use the .jar packed .properties file and ignores the user.

Abandoning effort. SchemaSpy is nice, if you use MySQL, else you're on your own.
