Need Tool to sync databases with 8.3.1

I need a tool that will compare 2 database schemas and allow me to
migrate changes from one database to another. What tools do the rest of
you use to accomplish this task?

You can try my SQL Workbench/J:.
http://www.sql-workbench.net/manual/wb-commands.html#command-schema-diff

It writes out the differences as an XML file.

I have sample XSLT transformations to create SQL statements out of that XML on
my homepage as well: http://www.sql-workbench.net/xslt.html

Hi all,

reopening this thread, because I just received e-mail from EMS that they
just release EMS DB Comparer with PostgreSQL 8.3 support.
I'm going to evaluate this, so I realized people here may be interested.

All,

I used to rave about how great the EMS PostgreSQL tools were, but lately
I've been disappointed by the lack of support for their Database Comparer
2007 for PostgreSQL.

I need a tool that will compare 2 database schemas and allow me to migrate
changes from one database to another. What tools do the rest of you use to
accomplish this task?

As the name suggests, Database Comparer 2007 for PostgreSQL seems to have
stopped development some time back in 2007 and it will not work with
PostgreSQL 8.3+. In addition, several of the bugs I encounter with 8.2.4
databases make it a show stopper there too.

I don't know how else to best accomplish my goals other than dumping 2
schemas, running a diff and manually syncing the 2 until the diffs go away.

Suggestions for alternatives? I don't mind spending money if it'll get the
job done.

this app looks and works really good, but there is no version for OSX :-(
Does anybody know an application like this for OSX?

Thanks,
