SchemaCrawler is an open-source Java API that makes working with database metadata as easy as working with plain old Java objects. SchemaCrawler is also a database schema discovery and comprehension, and schema documentation tool. You can search for database schema objects using regular expressions, and output the schema and data in a readable text format. The output is designed to be diff-ed against other database schemas.

There is a newer version: 16.24.2
