SchemaCrawler is an excelent tool to explore a database schema. It's a layer on top of JDBC: https://bit.ly/aVqIVZ. Give it a try.

Architect at Nestlé Nespresso SA: “I run a daily cron to export the content (metadata and data) of a schema, and I compare it to another reference schema to check which changes have been made to the data. The schema contains configuration values for our system (domains, ports, datasources, database connection strings, usernames…) and it’s paramount to allow all architects to change those data without losing control of what is being done. SchemaCrawler is the only tool that I found that could export both metadata and data in a predictable way, so that I can compare (diff) 2 schemas without getting false alerts.”
