Does anyone still use the annotate models plugin? http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/annotate_models
It takes your schema and put it as a comment block at the top of your model classes. Combined with migration-based comments this might work for you. When I used this a while back I found keeping it up to date manually mildly annoying, but if your schema isn't going to change much then it might be a good solution.
