Sugestions ? why yes, I've one for you : RDBAL and RDBAL::Schema

Links ? got two for you, here you go, RDBAL and RDBALL::Schema on CPAN

RDBAL - Relational DataBase Abstraction Layer class (ReDBALl) is a very interesting module, that could even (and has been, trust me on that) be used to automate html input form creation. It will allow you the get exactly the information your looking for, without having to fidle with the RDBM that you happen to be using at the time.

Here is what I'm using to get tables, stored procedures and stored procedures code out of the database (yes, there are more ways to get this info, but using perl and CPAN modules is just so sweet, you've got to love it ;-)

use RDBAL;
use RDBAL::Schema;
use strict;

# generic RDBALL::Connect
# $X = RDBAL::Connect('username', 'password', 'server') or die ("cant 
+connect: $!");

# here i'm using ODBC to get to a MSSQL database
my $X = RDBAL::Connect('user','password', 'dsn_name', 'ODBC', 'databas
+e') or die ("cant connect: $!");

print "rdbal connected\n";

my $schema = new RDBAL::Schema ($X,'visao') or die ("cant make schema 
+for visao : $!");

my $database = $schema->Database() or die ("cant get database from sch
+ema : $!");
my @user_tables = $schema->User_Tables() or die ("cant get user tables
+ from schema : $!");
my @procedures = $schema->Procedures() or die ("cant get procedures fr
+om schema : $!");


foreach my $t (@user_tables) { print "[table] : $t\n"; }
foreach my $p (@procedures) { 
  print "[procedure] : $p\n"; 
  my $comments = $schema->Comments($p);
  print "[procedure code] : $comments\n";
}
print "that's all, folks.\n"
