Before the schema becomes stable every time it is modified the
corresponding C declarations need to be updated manually I would like
to know if there is a stand-alone SQL-schema to C declaration
translator.

I have seen a partial-code generator that achieve this from table 
definitions.  It was supported by a CASE tool I have used before
(Excellerator), however It did not always produce complete/correct C
declarations which makes it useless.

One feature that would be desired is that if the convertion from SQL
to C declarations converts also the embedded comments to C comments.

Has any body used or attempted a similar automation?
Can one use awk to produce such a tool?

Thank you
