NAME

DBIx::Compare::Pg - Compare PostgreSQL database content

SYNOPSIS

        use DBIx::Compare::Pg;

        my $oDB_Comparison = db_comparison->new($dbh1,$dbh2);
        $oDB_Comparison->verbose;
        $oDB_Comparison->compare;
        $oDB_Comparison->deep_compare;
        $oDB_Comparison->deep_compare(@aTable_Names);

DESCRIPTION

DBIx::Compare::Pg takes two PostgreSQL database handles and performs comparisons of their table content. See DBIx::Compare for more information.

PORTING NOTES

deep_compare, deep_compare(@aTables)

Use is made of CURSORs to avoid triggering an OOM condition due to libpq's buffering behaviour when comparing tables larger than physical memory.

get_tables

All non-system schemata are searched. Some (hopefully) sensible decisions are made concerning skipping possible Slony schemata (beginning with "_"). Likewise the information schema is passed over.
