My company offers an ASP service for advertising companies using PG. For contractual reasons, each client gets its own replicated database. This presents a problem whenever a new feature/fix requires a DDL change which must be rolled out across N databases. Currently, we keep track of these changes via a central text file in CVS with manually entered DDL updates. The problem is making sure that overworked developers actually log all these changes.

What would be better is a DDL 'diff' utility that would look at a master and target database and generate the necessary ALTER statements needed to make the target db look like the master.

Is anyone aware of such a tool for PG? I've only found it for MSSQL.
