EDB DDL Extractor

EDB DDL Extractor converts schema metadata from EDB sources into portable DDL scripts suitable for version control, migration planning, and documentation. It targets database engineers, data architects, and DevOps teams that require reproducible schema exports from EDB dumps or local metadata stores. The tool focuses on schema definition only, excluding data payload.
Conceptually, the workflow is to load an EDB source, choose which object types to extract (tables, views, procedures, functions, triggers, constraints, indexes, types), map the definitions to a chosen SQL dialect, and emit a clean, dependency-aware DDL script. It supports multiple target dialects (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle) and can output a single consolidated file or a structured set of per-object files for easier source-control management. Core logic includes object discovery, dependency resolution, datatype mapping, identifier normalization, and optional inclusion of defaults or storage attributes.
This tool provides value to teams performing migrations, audits, or documentation work. By generating repeatable DDL, it reduces manual scripting time, minimizes human error, and enables automated pipelines to refresh schema definitions as environments evolve. The export can be used to recreate, compare, or review database structures across environments, and the per-object export option helps granular change management in Git workflows.
Examples of use cases include exporting a PostgreSQL-compatible DDL for a legacy EDB schema, generating a consolidated migration script to apply in a newer environment, or producing a documentation-friendly view of objects and dependencies.
