Re: Postgres schema comparison.

 My favorite for this task is WinSql available from
http://www.synametrics.com/SynametricsWebApp/WinSQL.jsp.  It can compare
the structure and content of the two tables.

Develop a function that builds a string describing the tables/schemas
you want to compare. Then have your function return the md5 sum of the
string as the result. This will give you a 32 character value you can
use to determine if there is a mismatch.
