doc/ideas/data_vs_metadata.txt

We may want to have a mode of generation that does not assume
a transactional interaction with the database, but read-only.

For example for "data"-databases iso metadata-databases.
In that case we may want to generate DDLs only exactly according to the data model,
and not assume any oPTLOCK, ID/IVO-ID etc columns.

This will allow simple generation of a TAP/QL interface on a read-only database.
Could still allow XML representations as well.

Useful?
