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?
