XML2DDL is a project to transform an XML file to DDL, currently for PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle and Firebird. It does not define a standard XML dialect. Problem: XML is not documented. Project lead: Scott Kirkwood, scott at forusers dot com. More details at http://xml2ddl.berlios.de.

DdlUtils is an Apache project focusing on delivering an easy-to-use component for working with Database Definition (DDL) files. These are XML files that contain the definition of a database schema, e.g. tables and columns. Problem: XML is documented by a DTD but limited (e.g. no information on stored procedure, no “extension” possible…). Project lead: Thomas Dudziak, tomdzk at gmail dot com.
