PostgreSQL documentation

PostgreSQL database documentation that follows schema changes.

Taavik scans PostgreSQL metadata through the on-premise agent and turns it into team-readable documentation with manual notes, object pages, and schema change history.

PostgreSQL database documentation with tables, columns, manual notes, and schema change history

Metadata scan

Turn PostgreSQL catalogs into living documentation.

PostgreSQL exposes rich schema metadata, but teams still lose context in stale wikis and one-off diagrams. Taavik scans the current structure and keeps the documentation aligned with future changes.

Objects

Tables, columns, indexes, views

Generated pages show the technical shape of the database so the team does not inspect catalogs by hand for every question.

Context

Manual notes preserved

Add business meaning to tables and columns while generated metadata continues to refresh from scans.

Changes

PostgreSQL schema changes

Object-level change history shows what moved recently and keeps documentation useful after migrations.

Boundary

Agent-based scan

The agent runs where PostgreSQL is reachable, so private database environments do not need public database access.

Workflow

Start with the tables that create questions.

Good first targets are customers, accounts, subscriptions, invoices, jobs, audit logs, and integration tables. Generate the baseline first, then add short notes where the schema alone is not enough.

PostgreSQL

Document PostgreSQL without exposing the database.

Run a metadata scan, generate object pages, and keep documentation aligned with schema changes.
