Well, the very first task of the new system will be to generate
a tables.sql and make sure it matches the current one. Perhaps we
can even keep them around, but make them "read only", for the benefit
of circumstances like the above (as well as making it easy to read
from the perspective of each database-in-question).
The only question in my mind at the moment is do we also copy all
the comments to each tables.sql (see maintenance/tables.sql), no
comments (see oracle|postgres/tables.sql) or something in the middle
(see mssql/tables.sql)?
