Question: Could this be used to generate markdown from any table? #109

I am looking for a way to query a postgres table and generate a set of markdown files based on one or more templates. I understand that this currently uses the database meta data of tables, fields etc. to generate code files etc. but I was wondering if it had the ability to take a table or view, say 'select * from my_document_view" and run against a generator to build a directory of markdown files that would be consumed by a site builder.

No, this is a database reverse engineering tool, so it only supports meta-data (table names, column names, view names, column data types, etc.). It can't use data from table rows.

Ok thank you for the quick reply. Any suggestions for something like that? I could probably knock something together quickly but I imagine there has to be something out there already.

Unfortunately, I don't know any tool for this purpose.
