That's exactly the subproject DBXTools, of DBXTalk suite. So far, we have it
working but I think that only with PostgreSQL. This is because we know which
specific queries to send to get the metadata. Nevertheless, this is the
least important part. If all the rest is done, you can just implement those
queries with other database, and you should be able to get the model.
We gave a talk at ESUG this year and we showed that. But I don't think there
is a video yet for that :(

Check the package DBXTools-CodeGeneration and the example
MagritteGlorpExample in DBXTalkExamples.

For more details, I think Guille or Santiago can help you more.
