DB Descriptor

DB Descriptor — a light tool for describing a database.

This tool inspects a database (for now PostgreSQL) and retrieves basic information about some database objects: table/view names, column names, column data type and comments. It writes a JSON file with the information, but also exposes methods to process the information programatically.
