Better Structure SQL

Clean database schema dumps for Rails (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite) without external tool dependencies

Rails' database dump tools (pg_dump, mysqldump, etc.) create noisy structure.sql files with version-specific comments, inconsistent formatting, and metadata that pollutes git diffs.

What you get

• ✅ Clean diffs - Only actual schema changes
• ✅ No external tools - Pure Ruby introspection
• ✅ Multi-database - PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite
• ✅ Deterministic - Same input = identical output

Installing it

# Gemfile
