Schema conformance for database servers
First Claim
1. A method for determining the conformance of a server, comprising:
- retrieving a first set of schema information from a first database server;
retrieving a second set of schema information from a second database server;
comparing the first set of schema information to the second set of schema information;
generating a difference file responsive to said step of comparing the first and second set of schema information; and
generating an alarm responsive to the difference file.

Abstract
Automatically determining the conformance of database server schema. Maintaining conformance of database schema helps manage and sustain database driven services and applications. Schema for a pair of randomly selected databases are generated and compared. A diffgram is generated from the difference of the database schema. An alarm message can then be sent to an alarm server with the differences of the comparable databases. A master schema dump can be compared to selected database servers within the database system concurrently with the comparable database pair schema processing. A diffgram is generated in response to the comparison between the selected database schema and the master schema.
