For postgresql it's better use: http://apgdiff.sourceforge.net/

java -jar apgdiff.jar original_schema_dump.sql new_schema_dump.sql > diff.sql

It's more easy and safe then kdiff3. :-)

kdiff3 is a visual tool. Its very safe since it does only show the differences. The ALTER statements need to be created by hand.

Neverthless, thank you for the comment. I will look at apgdiff.

django-evolution is the solution: It handles database upgrades for you. With django-evolution the above snippets is not needed. Except for verifying that two databases are in sync.
