How to Convert DDL to Markdown Data Dictionary

DDL is the source of truth for table structure, but it is not always friendly for product managers, analysts, or reviewers. A Markdown data dictionary turns field names, types, and comments into a readable table that can be used in documentation.

Recommended format

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| order_id | STRING | Order ID |
