Hi:

Are metadata creation strings, in sql form, stored anywhere in the
metadata tables?

Not AFAIK, no.

How would you handle subsequent ALTER commands and the like? What if you ALTERed two tables in a way that could only succeed if done in a particular order (such as creating a foreign key relationship between two tables) ?

Have a look at pg_dump . It knows how to create appropriate DDL to re-create particular schema objects, and can handle the various ordering and dependency issues involved.
