I want to use SchemaSpy, but I my database is used heavily 24/7 and the DBA won't give me access, even readonly. However, i can give the DBA some commands and he can run them and give me the results.
Is it possible for SchemaSpy to run offline mode? In other words, Can I give it a dump of all the "CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX" and a list of all the sizes of the tables, and then it can generate the report?
Ok, The best thing about schemaspy is that it automatically runs and collects all the objects and in the case of the tables performed a count.
In your specific case you can use a work around as follows.
Ask your DBA for a dump or even the empty bank creation script, just the structures. And direct schemaspy to that bank that simulates your production.
By the way I have created a docker image that uses schamespy to document all the bases of a server.
