Are you doing SQL statement parsing here for diff of pg ? This can lead to lot of work if you want to add other databases.

@awinter-py : have a look at our approach to schema migrations - we hand a GUI DB application to devs and it generates schema migrations as you change database. The goal is still the same - backend devs should never write schema migrations.
