.TH POSTGRESQL_AUTODOC 1 "19 July 2009"
.SH NAME
postgresql_autodoc \- creates postgresql tables overview
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B postgresql_autodoc
[options]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This is a utility which will run through PostgreSQL system tables and
returns HTML, DOT, and 2 styles of XML which describes the database.
.PP
The HTML is human readable (via webbrowser). The first style of XML is
actually the fileformat of Dia, a UML diagram tool. The second type of
XML is similar to the HTML but in the Docbook 4 format. It enables yous
to mix in other docbook documentation via the XREFs, generating PDFs,
HTML, RTF, or other formatted documents. Between these tools and JavaDoc
with the appropriate XREFs, documentation about a project can be generated
quickly and be easily updatable yet have a very professional look with
some DSSSL work.

.B \-\-table=<args>
Tables to export. Multiple tables may be provided using a
comma-separated list, i.e. table,table2,table3.
.TP
.B \-\-statistics
In 7.4 and later, with the contrib module pgstattuple installed we
can gather statistics on the tables in the database
(average size, free space, disk space used, dead tuple counts, etc.)
This is disk intensive on large databases as all pages must be visited.
