To anyone that can help
I have 2 MySQL databases that contain large amounts of tables. I need
to be able to compare the data in the tables with older/newer versions
of the tables. I figured the easiest way would be to get the info in
csv format and then run a comparison. I can get all the data using
MySQL front, but this has to be done tabe-by-table, and is too time
consuming.
I am new to Python and also new to programming.
Can anyone please help.
Thanks

Well, it might be a rather extending first programming project, but the
delightful news is that you can access MySQL databases directly from Python!
What sort of differences will exist? Does a row's content always stay
the same once it's been written to a table, or are rows updated as well?
Basically if you can say what type of differences you want to see it
should be possible to do just what you want.
If you haven't already downloaded and installed the MySQLdb module for
Python you'll probably need that. Are you running on Windows or a
Unix-like system (you'll need to get the appropriate installer from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python
If you have any trouble installing it, get back on this list and someone
will help.
You're going to have *such* fun!
regards
Steve

I recently had a need to do exactly what you are describing and
found this product to fit the bill nicely. http://www.apexsql.com/sql_tools_diff.asp

I think the easiest way to compare tables in a SQL-based database is
using SQL ...
What about exporting the tables from the databases, importing those you
want to compare into one database and then using set-operations in SQL
using MINUS, INTERSECT. For example:
select c1, c2, c3 from table1
intersect
select c1, c2, c3 from table2;
-- return data common in both tables
select c1, c2, c3 from table1
minus
select c1, c2, c3 from table2;
-- data only in table1
etc.
You can export specific tables from a MySQL database using the mysqldump
commandline tool and then load them into the other database.

Thnaks to everybody for their input. I have found a quick fix for now.
MySQL dump allows me to export the data to XML which can easily be
compared. This will help me for now and the project will have to wait
until I have some more time.

Hi there,
SUMMARY:
1) When I use phpadmin to export a large database, the file created on
my local PC never containes all the tables and information. It seems
to max out at about 10mb.
2) Will running mysqldump from command line on a live in-use DB (with
one table containing 350,000 rows) pose any risks and have any large
effect of current use?

I'm doing some speed tests. I created a brand-new table, with just
one "Long Integer" field. I'm testing adding 1000 records. If I use
the "Export" feature in Access, it takes only a few seconds to export
the 1000 records to a new table on the server. If I use my code
below, it takes 100 secods (10 records per second). Can someone help
me speed up my code?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
