Description
I recently encountered an error while running db.inventory on a source. As is usual with sqlalchemy, the error message was not helpful. It would have been super helpful to have the ability to turn on logging.debug for astrodbkit to get more info. We ended up adding a print statement in this loop to see that it was crashing on a new reference table which we had neglected to add to the REFERENCE_TABLE list.

Research direction
Start in astrodbkit/astrodb.py around line 483, where the issue reports adding a print statement in a loop exposed the failing reference table. Reproduce the db.inventory error and inspect the existing SQLAlchemy-related flow. Done means users can enable debugging information for this failure without adding temporary print statements.
