Review Comment:
   Sure thing. Were you thinking something like _"The first schema has N 
columns, the second has J columns"_ then? For me, "this" would refer to the one 
being appended to, but likely I have tunnel vision in this case. ;-) 
   
   For the "These columns differ".. you're thinking adding the index  of the 
two then? Do you think the resulting printed schemas of the two columns are 
sufficient?
