Create LateX metadata file from tables stored in Postgres schema

Synthesis :

Using psycopg2 and Tabulate Python packages, this script allows to create a LateX file describing each tables's columns (name, data_type, maximum character length, is it nullable).

Example of metadata of a table in my local database

Limitations / ~road-map :

• get comment on each columns (if they exists)
• the LateX presentation is awful, and there's some bugs
• data type for geometry columns is considered as "user-defined", it should be handled by the script
• Ideally it could be parameterized and also accept flat files like Shapefile
