Could I somehow automate the table, column, and relationship creation process?

Since our organization has been around for a number of decades, its database is massive. It includes support for plenty database types and allows easy manipulation of the database along with the possibility to modify it without too much effort.I need to start a long-term project in mapping out data tables so that we can get a high-level view of what information we store in our Oracle database and how the tables are linked to each other.
