1. Purpose

Reads a table creation file (tables.sql) and compares it to what mysqldump gives, and creates SQL clauses to update the database to match the creation file.
sqlupdate v1.6.5 - Copyright (C) Joel Yliluoma (http://iki.fi/bisqwit/)

Usage:
    sqlupdate [options] >changes.sql
       (Creates an update script)

Options:
    -t tablefile          Describes the file containing
                          the new sql layout. Default: tables.sql
    -d database           Default: winnie3
    -h host               Default: localhost
    -u user               Default: root
    -i                    Use CREATE INDEX instead of ALTER..ADD KEY
    -m                    Add comments explaining the differences
    -c                    Ignore character set differences
    -p pass
    -r                    Reverse operation. (new->old)

Example:
  ./sqlupdate -t etimgr.sql -d etimgr | mysql -uroot

This program does not update a database. It only
produces update scripts (which show the differences).

3. Copying

4. Requirements

GNU make is probably required.
mysqldump is also required. This program handles only MySQL tables indeed.

5. Downloading

Downloading help

  • Do not download everything - you only need one file (newest version for your platform)!
