There are several ways described in the archive of the mailing-list.
Additionally I found a way that a co-worker of mine which deals with
MS-SQL-Server did an output of the database structure in this, what
MS calls plain SQL.  There are diffences (they use "go" instead of
a ";" in the end of a command) and there are some syntax differnces.
I tried a little perl-script written by myself to change the main
syntactical differences.  (And no, I don´t want to post it here
because it is all things strating wuth 'u' like: ugly, untested,
unsupported, ...)

Kind regards
