Description

Body

https://github.com/chartdb/chartdb is very popular project and generate nice ERD schemas (though not sure if we can use it due to AGPL-3.0 license ?) We should update our generation script to use it

Note: This library is to be used only for development. We are not distributing it to users thus we are OK with having it despite AGPL-3.0 license https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#prohibited (Thanks to Jarek for this clarification)
