NAME
       apgdiff - Another PostgreSQL Diff Tool

SYNOPSIS
       Usage: apgdiff [options] <old_dump> <new_dump>

DESCRIPTION
       Another PostgreSQL Diff Tool is a simple PostgreSQL diff tool that is useful for schema upgrades. The tool compares two schema dump files
       and creates an SQL output file that is (after some hand-made modifications) suitable for upgrades of old schemata.

OPTIONS
       --version
	   displays apgdiff version

       --add-defaults
	   adds DEFAULT ... in case new column has NOT NULL constraint but no default value (the default value is dropped later)

       --add-transaction
	   adds START TRANSACTION and COMMIT TRANSACTION to the generated diff file

       --ignore-function-whitespace
	   ignores multiple spaces and new lines when comparing content of functions

	   o   WARNING: this may cause functions to appear to be same in cases they are not, so use this feature only if you know what you are
	       doing

       --ignore-start-with
	   ignores START WITH modifications on SEQUENCEs (default is not to ignore these changes)

       --in-charset-name <charset>
	   charset that should be used for reading input files (standard charset name supported by Java, default is UTF-8)

       --out-charset-name <charset>
	   charset that should be used for writing output (standard charset name supported by Java, default is UTF-8)

       --output-ignored-statements
	   outputs information about DDL statements that apgdiff ignores at this moment (it will not output any SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and/or
	   DELETE statements)

       --list-charsets
	   lists all supported charsets
