Maybe it'd be possible to make a small util that checks the database schema to see wether it's exactly like it's supposed to be in the currently installed version. It could give out info about what is different too, but should not fix them. That should be left to an sql expert (to prevent erronous removal of data). It would be a nice safeguard when upgrading to a new version. It would be a nice thing for warning of missing indexes too, seeing as this is usually the performace problem that occurs in a lot of projects. (Request Tracker beeing one of them) Not sure how they manage to loose the indexes (upgrade?) but it is a bad error since everything will continue to work, just at a horribly slow pace. Not quite sure how to make such a util tho.. -=Dead2=-
