In my current appplication, i have to write a db script which identifies that all the database stucture is up to date.(testing aginast the actual db to the expected db)
While exectuing the script it shud give an error if it finds inconsistency in the database structure. I am not sure of how to do that?
Oracle has a bunch of views that describe all the object in the database (e.g. all_constraints, all_tables etc.). You'll need to trawl these and watch for inconsistencies - have a glance at the docs for what they are called.
But its probably worth mentioning there are cheap database diffing tools already out there. Might one of these be an easier option?
