why not keep your design in something like S-Designer and use its archive
feature to get the difference...

RDB$PROCEDURES and RDB$TRIGGERS I think.

You should be able to compare the field names, but I'd guess you would have
to write your own app to do it.

S-Designer does, I'd imagine that ERwin and co do too. www.seagate.com for
s-designer, its part (kinda) of powerbuilder.

Can't say I have - I've not had to change the metadata of a running DB
yet,... _yet_.
