Dump a clean version of the DDLs of your tables, so you can version them.

ddldump

Dump and version the DDLs of your tables, while cleaning the dumps of all the varying stuff, like MySQL's AUTOINCs, that would make it hard to version and check for differences during continuous integration.

Usage

ddldump <dsn> [table] > table.sql

Example

Dump all the table DDLs of the MySQL database cooldb:

ddldump mysql://localhost/cooldb > cooldb.sql

Dump the specific DDL of the awesome PostgreSQL table:

ddldump postgresql://localhost/mydb awesome > awesome.sql

Compare your dump with what's actually in your database:

$ ddldump --diff=cooldb.sql mysql://localhost/cooldb
--- mysql

+++ cooldb.sql
