mysql_coldiff

This tool allows one to compare the data in two tables in a MySQL^TM database server to see which data in which rows differ between the two.

Requirements

• Access to a MySQL^TM 3.23.x or 4.0.x server.
• Perl 5.6.x.
• DBI, and the DBD::mysql driver.

Installation

Just place mysql_coldiff somewhere in your path, and set the permissions appropriately. Run it without any options for a short usage message, or read its POD with perldoc mysql_coldiff.

Contributing

Patches, and suggestions are always welcome (especially since this is a 1.0 release!).
