Describe the feature

Glue tables can already be created with CDK:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/@aws-cdk_aws-glue-alpha.Database.html

For the purpose of documentation and data governance, the database description field from CFN should be added to this:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-glue-database-databaseinput.html#cfn-glue-database-databaseinput-description

Use Case

This will help people that created their data lakes fully on AWS with CDK to embed documentation on IaC. Having to use a different API or manually changing database descriptions is not a feasible option for large scale users with hundreds of databases.

Proposed Solution

Add the description field to the props of the database object.
