Good thoughts, and from others above. Thanks, as usual to all. I'm on MySQL 4.whatever but trying to keep things pretty generic just in case. The sad part is, the last place I worked did just what I want (within a Berkeley DB) and I wasn't interested in checking out the code at the time so I have no idea how it worked.

    Not sure if it will work, but you could try diff'ing the backups of your Mysql database. Since a Mysql database backup is simply the DML (read SQL commands) to recreate the database, this may work.

    Now this idea assumes that Mysql will create the DML in the same order every time, but it might be worth a shot.
