Hello, (my first post to this list)
I'm trying to figure out if there is any easy way to keep the schema of two totally separate databases synchronized. And by that, I mean that if a column is added to one database, is there an easy way to automagically have the other database also include that added column (and vice versa)? I was thinking of something along the lines of capturing the confirmation commands that postgres spits out when a change is made to the database and somehow "playing those commands back" to the other database. Another approach might be to "backup" a schema-only representation of a table and then "restore" it to the other database. I realize that this may be a strange application of pgsql (I can hear people asking right now "Why don't you just use a single database and separate the uses logically?") but this is the requirement I've been tasked with and I understand the application needs as being valid. Thanks in advance for any guidance anyone can provide.
Also, is there a concept of a postgres database not having a password? I was using a system which did not require a password (meaning the password field was empty when connecting to it) and the application that accesses it did a conversion of the database to a newer version and now I am locked out of it (using pgAdmin III).
