In article <34o1hu$ck2@laugh.agcs.com> you write: } Looking for a tool to compare database schemas and (1) generate } SQL script to convert one to the other, (2) report differences } in a manner more meaningful than UNIX diff. Tool should } take as input either to Informix database names or 2 files } containing SQL schemas (preferably output from Informix's } dbschema tool. } I wrote a "dbdiff" program a while back, it never left the beta stage :-( I believe Jack Parker finished what I started (as a complete re-write) and called it "dbdiff2". } Prefer shareware but commercial ok too. } Breakaway Technology has a "dbdiff" utility in their DB-Toolkit. The company I used to work for uses it very extensively.
