I started playing with sqlalchemy (python) which can reflect a schema
to python objects. Those objects can then be used to instantiate
another schema in a different database dialect. Works like a charm
after modifying a couple of column names. It mirrors about 4000
tables in about 45 seconds (of course, without the data).
