[GENERAL] Generating an XSD file from an existing database

2015-12-06 Thread Blake McBride
Greetings,

I need an XML specification for my exiting schema - an XSD file.  Reading
the docs I see schema_to_xml but I do not understand:

A.  Will that produce the XSD file I seek?

B.  I do not understand the documentation.  Can I do this through psql?  I
need an exact example if possible.

Thank you.

Thanks.  My problem is understanding the arguments.  I am hoping to get an
exact example.

Server:  localhost
Database:  wmco
Schema:  public

Once I am in psql, exactly what do I type?  (I just don't understand the
docs.)

Thank you!
