If you want a ready-made software that gives you more control over the 
database structure than osm2pgsql offers, I suggest you have a look at 
imposm (Python). If you want a solid programmer's framework for your own 
OSM parsing and processing, I suggest you use osmium (C++).

taginfo.openstreetmap.org does that on a world-wide basis but the 
software is available for installing locally so you could run taginfo 
for your area of interest only.

You'll probably get stuck with other things later - it is not as easy as 
one might think; you'll want pbf support, proper multipolygon handling, 
and other things that cost time to implement. The aforementioned 
software takes some of that burden away.
