I have a production server (7.4.9) with, of course, a production database with 30 tables, 250 functions, types, views, indices, ... My developers have created new version of the software, that includes the new version of the datbase. They've changed 6 tables, two dozen views and almost one hundred stored procedures. Now I need to apply those changes on the production server. Is there a way to generate a 'diff' script for the two databases? I'd write script myself if I'd be able to 'script' just the desired object. For instance, just the function. I've seen that I can do pg_dump to a file with pg_dump -Fc, and then I can do pg_restore -Fc -l <dump.file> to have the list of all the database objects. There I can see the functions, but how do I (re)create just the desired function? What would suit me the best would be a tool/util that would drop each db.object into a separate file. Then I could create a script wich will 'load' each object from the file when I want it (so I don't have dependency problems). Is there a tool like that, or should I stick with pg_dump/pg_restore, or maybe even going trough information_schema to see all the objects in the database?
