db-diff-auditor
===============

[](#db-diff-auditor)

A PHP-based database schema auditing tool designed to work with MySQL and PostgreSQL. Its main purpose is to track changes in your database structure over time.

Philosophy and Intended Use Case
--------------------------------

[](#philosophy-and-intended-use-case)

While there are many powerful database migration frameworks available, `db-diff-auditor` is not intended to replace them. Instead, it is designed to fill a specific niche for developers who value simplicity, visibility, and control, especially in the following scenarios:

1. **For the Hands-On Developer:** Many developers prefer to make schema changes directly in their database client (like Sequel Pro, DBeaver, or the command line) and then want a quick and easy way to capture those changes in a version-controllable format. This tool is perfect for that workflow. It provides a code-based confirmation of your manual changes and generates the SQL to replicate them elsewhere.
2. **For AI-Assisted Development:** As AI tools become more common in the development process, there is a growing need for simple, focused tools to audit the changes they make. This tool provides a clear and auditable trail of any schema changes suggested or applied by an AI, allowing developers to maintain full visibility and control over their database structure.

In short, `db-diff-auditor` is about providing a lightweight, straightforward, and auditable bridge between your database and your codebase.
