I'm not a 100% sure this is what you're looking for but I used to do a little database maintenance a while back. We needed a way to make sure the devDB and the prodDB were identical in structure and I tracked down this nifty little tool. The tool creates a sql-alter-script that can be run on the database you would like to patch. It written in perl so I guess it should work cross platform but I have only tried it on linux.

The tool is called mySQLdiff, is freeware and can be downloaded at www.mysqldiff.org.
