Note that you can use whatever tool you want to create the tables
(including GUI tools like pgAdmin for Postgres).

For large scale production systems, table generation is not usually
that useful.  You generally want a way of getting from the existing
schema to the new schema and migrate data as needed.  This calls for a
system that keeps track of incremental patches to the schema rather
than generating the entire schema in one go.
