mysqldiff.pl generates the diffs you refer to, but I never implemented a fully automated process, because I never trusted that nothing would go wrong. That does not stop me from using the output in the migration script though, so you should be able to do the same.

Thanks, I'll try it!

Sure, I don't mean a fire&forget thing but to review migration commands. But diffs should be fine too - they'll actually require a programmer to review it, even accidentally when pasting the output to the migration script.
