I started playing with sqlalchemy (python) which can reflect a schema
to python objects.  Those objects can then be used to instantiate
another schema in a different database dialect.  Works like a charm
after modifying a couple of column names.  It mirrors about 4000
tables in about 45 seconds (of course, without the data).
