The recommended variable type for storing password values, even if they are composed solely of numbers, is SecureString. A SecureString is designed to provide a more secure way to handle sensitive information as it keeps the data encrypted in memory, making it less vulnerable to potential risks such as memory dumps compared to regular string types.

The Database Documenter sounds like the right tool for the job. It's designed to provide detailed information about the objects in a database, so that's probably the way to go. I feel pretty confident about this one.
