Hi,
I am creating my database via SQLAlchemy, therefore I use several "Column()"
objects in a Table() clause.
For my documentation, it is very handy to gather the table definitions
directly from my SQLAlchemy-based python code - that's relatively easy, I
simply import my table-definitions file and look for module attributes that
end with "_table" (by convention, I always name my tables like that).
Then I can read the table/columns, format them nicely and put them in my
documentation.
What's missing, however, are description fields: It would be perfect, if I
could specify a description attribute for the table and the column directly,
e.g. like that:
myperson_table = Table('person', metadata,
Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True, description = 'Identification
Number'),
Column('name', String(20), description = 'Name of a person'),
description = 'Table for my Persons')
I could, also create my own Table/Column classes that hold this information,
but maybe this could be implemented in SA as a standard feature?
Best Regards,
Hermann
