Thread: Wanted to code: pgdiff ($$$)

Wanted to code: pgdiff ($$$)

From
adwolf1@yahoo.com (ad wolf)

We're offering a small reward for a PG hacker that can code up a
mysqldiff-like utility for PG.   For those unfamiliar with mysqldiff:
http://adamspiers.org/computing/mysqldiff/

Creating something similar for PG is slightly more involved (because
of the ref. integrity issues, among others...), but it would certainly
be useful.

To get more details & to discuss the spec, stop by:
http://www.wolfbioscience.com/pgdiff/

Thanks for the help!

Interesting. I was looking for something similar but for the data rather
than the structure. Anyway, it's wouldn't be too difficult to write except
for the fact that that you cannot drop columns nor change the types of
existing columns. These would have be acheived by SELECT INTO and then
copying the triggers, etc.

But I see you thought of all of that. It doesn't seem like a very large
project though.

Anyway, hope it works out :)
