I guess this is called reverse-engeneering (?). On pgAdmin list, we got 
several emails asking "how do I migrate this database to that other 
database". With libgda returning the SQL needed for each object in a field, 
this would be easy (=rev_eng field).

An md5 stamp for rev_eng field (=rev_eng_md5) would be useful.
