Hi! I wanna ask that which pg_dump command line needed if I want to compare two databases? I have many DBs, but all of them have two versions a development (local) DB and the online (web) DB. When I want to realize a new function, I develop it locally, and later I sync. it into online DB. But it is hard: I easily miss some things... :-( Because of that I want to write some tool that can compare databases. In DBISAM world I can do it easily, because DBISAM tables very-very near to Delphi DataSets, and I can compare tables/indexes with Delphi comparations. In Firebird it was harder, because if must compare tables, and later other objects (generators) too... :-( In PostgreSQL I have two way to compare DBs. 1.) pg_dumps, and textdiff. 2.) get schema (table struct, indexes, etc) from all, and compare them. The first version is need user SQLs, the second can create alter/create SQLs automatically... So please help me with your experience: what is the best solution, what is the possible problem that make mistakes with this plan, and how to realize it easily? Thanks for your help: dd
