README for MySQL::Diff MySQL::Diff =========== MySQL::Diff is Perl module for comparing the table structure of two MySQL databases. Shameless plug -------------- This software was originally written as part of the project. If you like hacking Perl in a cool environment, come and work for us! Prerequisites ------------- This suite probably requires Perl 5.005 or higher. Availability ------------ The latest version of MySQL::Diff is available from http://adamspiers.org/computing/mysqldiff/ and eventually (a possibly slightly older version) from the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN). Visit to find a CPAN site near you. Installation ------------ See INSTALL. Documentation ------------- See: http://adamspiers.org/computing/mysqldiff/ At some stage I'll get round to including proper POD-format documentation and tests. (Patches welcome ;-) Support ------- Questions, bug reports, useful code bits, and suggestions for MySQL::Diff should just be sent to me at . Known bugs ---------- Reported by users and confirmed: * Reference to non-existant routine maybe_index_auto_col(). Huh?! [John Violette] Reported by users but unconfirmed: * If '-P1 3337' is one of the arguments it doesn't seem to get passed to the arguments for mysqldump (according to the debugging). [Darrell Taylor] * # mysqldiff --user=root --password=xxxx -B demo tables.sql Duplicate specification "password|p:s" for option "p" Duplicate specification "password1|p1:s" for option "p1" Duplicate specification "password2|p2:s" for option "p2" [John Smith] All easy to fix but I'm so short on time!
