You might want to look for a perl tool called "Alzabo" I don't know which
databases it supports though.
I've found it useful to do regularly run a command like:
pg_dump -s | grep -v '^-- TOC entry' > $@
and save the result in CVS. Then I can use cvs diff to view the changes in the
schema from one checkin to another. However this just shows what the net
differences are, not what the ALTER command would be to reproduce the change.
