I've opened up my new app. It's a collab system for relational
schemas -- it only targets Postgres and Oracle right now, but I'm
close to developing a general solution to multi-DBs. It has potential
to turn into a sort of photo.net for data modeling, with many users
developing a set of DDL patterns, but my primary motivation is as a
useful schema documentation & generation site. I quote from the
/about.html file:
I was sick of going to work on a system and finding out
that even the developers didn't know what was in the DB, and the
production of documentation was hobbled by being locked into each
developer's desktop editor or modeler. I wanted a more advanced system
of versioning database schema than Emacs, cvs, and "the modeler's
brain". Some other nice things might be web access, multiple DB
targeting, selective sql generation, versioning, and groups. This is
my (admittedly crufty) solution.
Here is the link:

You can log in as 'anonymous/changeme' if you don't want to register.
I set up some tables from lobs, modules, community-core, and
user_groups as the demo schema. Please note that this is heavily
alpha and any data you define might not have a clear upgrade path.
I hope someone here finds some utility in it. And if not, hey, it has
a long way to go.
