Anaximander

The Application

This application builds a basic database dictionary template as an HTML document by parsing an existing database. There are other, more mature tools (SchemaSpy, tbls)

The application is written in Python and uses Flask to display the document. Project is a Work In Progress.

Current version only works with Postgres.

The sample configuration and result files are for the Adventure Works database ported to Postgres using Docker Adventureworks for Postgres.

The Name

Why Anaximander? Anaximander was a Greek philosopher who allegedly was the first to draw a map of the inhabited world. This project does not draw a map becasue today we have Google Maps.
