Hello, A long time ago I started to write a procedure to retrive a signature of all objects of a given type for a similar purpose. Depending on what kind of objects you want to check this may be a - very ugly and complicate - solution. In my case I was only interested in the object definition, not the data. here my old code for the procs.... select 'pg_proc' ||'|'|| proowner ||'|'|| proname ||'|'|| prolang ||'|'|| case when proisagg =true then 'y' else 'n' end ||'|'|| case when prosecdef =true then 'y' else 'n' end ||'|'|| case when proisstrict =true then 'y' else 'n' end ||'|'|| case when proretset =true then 'y' else 'n' end ||'|'|| provolatile ||'|'|| pronargs ||'|'|| prorettype ||'|'|| to_querystring(proargtypes) ||'|'|| to_querystring(proargmodes) ||'|'|| to_querystring(proargnames) ||'|' AS CHECKSTRING from pg_proc order by CHECKSTRING Marc Mamin -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sabin Coanda Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2009 3:54 PM To: pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: plain text difference with pg_dump Hi there, I have two databases DD and DP. DD is used for development, and DP in production. After develop something on DD, a diff package is made and it upgrades DP. Normally after that DD has to be identically with DP. The problem is when I check the structure difference between DD and DP. My procedure is to use pg_dump to make a plain text dump of the two databases, and compare them, ignoring the comments. All the procedures are sorted identically, excepting those with the same name, but different arguments. Do you know a method to get the same text dump ?
