Pyrseas

Pyrseas provides utilities to describe a PostgreSQL database schema as YAML, to verify the schema against the same or a different database and to generate SQL that will modify the schema to match the YAML description.

Features

  • Outputs a YAML/JSON description of a PostgreSQL database’s tables and other objects (metadata), suitable for storing in a version control repository
  • Generates SQL statements to modify a database so that it will match an input YAML/JSON specification
  • Generates an augmented YAML description of a PostgreSQL database from its catalogs and an augmentation specification.

API Reference

Currently, the only external APIs are the class Database and the methods to_map() and diff_map() of the latter. Other classes and methods are documented mainly for developer use.
