```

## Sample usage
Retrieve schame for table 'Ports' from OVS database.
```javascript
 var client = require('ovsdb-client');
 var db_name = 'Open_vSwitch';
 var table_name = 'port'
 // retrieve 'Port' table schema from OVS Database
 var table = client.db_schema(db_name).tables[table_name];
 console.log(json.stringify(table));
