Schema-compare

Schema-compare is a valuable script for comparing and displaying differences between two database schemas. It also offers the added benefit of generating SQL statements to modify the old database to match the new schema. Although the comparisons are accurate, the SQL statements produced may not be entirely precise, although they are very close to being accurate.

To install schema-compare, simply extract and unzip the file into the appropriate web folder. From there, you can modify the configuration file (include/config.inc.php) to make the necessary connections between the two databases you wish to compare. Both databases must be hosted on the same server and utilize the same login credentials.

In this release of schema-compare, users can enjoy an improved user experience that streamlines the database schema comparison process. While the script may not produce SQL statements that are 100% correct, it is still a reliable and useful tool for comparing the contents of two different databases. Overall, schema-compare is a worthy addition to any software reviewer's toolkit, and highly recommended for web developers or database administrators.
