That's more of a nitpick but the it annoys me so I decided to report it.

The columns of boolean type are displayed as of type "bool". Although
the pgsql parser accepts it as a name of a type, the more approriate
name would be "boolean" [1].

If a boolean column has a default value, it is displayed as "true" or
"false" (lower-case, not quoted). The more appropriate would be if the
boolean literals are in upper-case [1].
