My database uses a lot of writable views and function to perform actions. The generator provided by sqlpp11 only processed a text file and only tables at that.
I created this to save myself a rather large amount of typing.
It works by connecting to a running database with your schema and goes through the postgres information tables to extract the columns and types for each object.
Currently, only handles Postgres as that is the database I use
It of course depends on https://github.com/rbock/sqlpp11. As well as https://github.com/kainjow/Mustache
Both of which should download automatically during the cmake build process.
git clone https://github.com/MikeNeilson/sqlpp11gen.git
cd sqlpp11gen
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
