This has been asked for many many times on this list, not sure why mySQL AB doesn't just release a command line tool like a 'mysql diff' and also a 'mysql lint'. The lint one should be totally trivial for them to do, as they already have a SQL parser! I can't tell you how many times our daily build was broken by a missing semi-colon or some other SQL syntax error. We run all commits through "php -l" and ruby's checker, but mysql is the only one we have to sweat over.
While I'm glad that pretty GUI tools like Upscene's exist, that doesn't do us any good on a linux build system where it does an "svn checkout", runs automated BVT tests, compiles code, uploads to a daily build directory, etc. We need command line tools that run on linux. :( > -----Original Message----- > From: John Comerford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2007 9:49 PM > To: mysql@lists.mysql.com > Subject: DB Schema Comparison Utility ? > > Hi Folks, > > I am new to MySQL.
