Sorry, I thought that was what you were looking for.
>Is there any tool or any approach that I should know to document an existing system?
>I want to get first a general idea of how the system works. What tables are in use. what code is used, maybe there are tables or pieces of code that are not used.
There is a documenting tool, PDM or so, in the download section. I found it quite impressive technically, but I don't find the automated generation of documentation that useful.
I would just look at the tables and code, and try to find out how it was supposed to work. At any rate, this can take quite a while.
