ddlgenerator

I've had it on github for a while, but I finally released ddlgenerator to PyPI.

I've been frustrated for years that there was no good open-source way to set up RDBMS tables from flat data files. Sure, you could import the data - after setting up the DDL by hand. ddlgenerator handles that; in fact, you can go from zero, setting up and populating a table in a single line. Nothing up my sleeve:

$ psql -c "SELECT * FROM knights"
ERROR:  relation "knights" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT * FROM knights
                      ^
$ ddlgenerator --inserts postgresql knights.yaml | psql
CREATE TABLE
INSERT 0 1
INSERT 0 1
INSERT 0 1
INSERT 0 1
$ psql -c "SELECT * FROM knights"
    name    |         dob         |   kg    | brave 
------------+---------------------+---------+-------
 Lancelot   | 0471-01-09 00:00:00 | 82.0000 | t
 Gawain     |                     | 69.2000 | t

This is a fairly complex tool so I'm sure you'll be using the bug tracker. But I hope you'll enjoy it nonetheless!
