pg51g is a data diff toolkit for PostgreSQL. It is meant to be pronounced 'pee-gee-sig' -- which is what you get if you unfocus enough while looking at the name :-) I know, it's a terrible name.
It is also an accurate name, as it generates and maintains md5-based signature tables for your relations in a PostgreSQL database. These sig tables may be used in two ways: * for comparing data across databases * for comparing the current state of a database with a saved snapshot of itself (self-diff) This software has been based on Fabien Coelho's report on Remote Comparison of Database Tables, which may be found here: http://cri.ensmp.fr/classement/doc/A-375.pdf This software, however, represents a brand new implementation in C and PL/pgSQL, with modifications. http://pgdba.net/pg51g/ comments, suggestions, contributions welcome! regards, Michael Nacos ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- -To unsubscribe from this list, send an email to: [email protected]
