I'm looking for something that can be pointed at a DB table and can give the schema for the table back - preferably in the form of an SQL CREATE TABLE statement but I can live without[*]. DBIx::DBSchema seems to be just the ticket my $schema = DBIx::DBSchema->new_native($dbh); my $sql = $schema->table($table)->sql_create_table($dbh); Except I've been running into a bunch of bugs. Any other solutions? Alternatively - what I'm really trying to do is get a unique finger print for the schema of a database. My current plan is hashing the CREATE TABLE statement but other methods would be gratefully received. Simon [*] Of course in MySQL I can do SHOW CREATE TABLE ... but that's not portable.
