Me too :-) I have a command line prototype of the tool with the basic
functional. It's written
in C++ by using the Pgfe client library and in PL/pgSQL as the PostgreSQL
extension.

+1. It's the main feature. Already done.

It's the most hard part and could be implemented later.

Good feature for future releases.

Not sure I understand. Can you please elaborate what do you mean?

I agree and there is no problems with it. But logical organization would be
a bit simpler
to implement, and would be suitable for the most users. Also it can be even
helpful when someone
working with foreign project since the database objects are arranged in
shelves.

My primary (and favorite) language still C++ :-)

Thank you, Pavel! But I haven't decided about starting this project, since
I'm not sure about
the interest from the community.

Yeah, I'm talking about the tool for developers here.
