Informix experts,
I am faced with a situation to be able to compare two database schema's to
see if they are the same and if not what are the diffrences. I am working
with informix (on-line) 7.1.
Does anybody know of a utility existing which would do the stuff. I am sure
someone was sometime faced with this situation.
More details: On Why I need to compare:
We apply sql scripts to upgrade our products database to latest level. We
also release a schema with each release.
The schema that is released(new installations) is always correct but the sql
scripts that are released alongwith for the upgrade, are sometimes inadequate.
To provide a check against inadequate sql scripts released for upgrade, I
wannted to use the released sql's to upgrade a test DB and then compare it with the dbschema released.
