Wow! dbdoc was pretty well received; 800 page views and 30 downloads yesterday. Someone kindly volunteered to implement the schema API for Oracle (and possibly MySQL too).

And someone else pointed out a couple of shortcomings in my simplistic initial version of the API. To my mind, this is one of the nicest things about the open source community; if one gives away vaguely useful software for free, other people will freely offer their hard-earned wisdom in return.

Time to find out some more about the quirks of various databases...
