SQLA currently only gets involved with the most minimal level of information schema/DDL necessary to reflect/configure an existing database, and has nothing in the "database administration" realm. Going beyond our current scope becomes a question of maintenance resources since its already quite a huge job to maintain the scope of functionality we have already.
