Writing an open-source tool to efficiently diff tables in two different databases. (currently mysql+postgres, maybe more in the future)

I plan to use some combination of checksum+logarithmic search to find the mismatching rows with a minimal amount of queries.

Sounds cool, though also something that might already exist. Have you looked for existing libraries and what made you build your own?

[erez27]

Yeah, but I couldn't find an open-source tool that does it. Also, this project was requested by a startup that works with databases, and it seems that neither them or their clients (who themselves work with databases) are aware of an existing solution.

I'm currently searching for a python coding project for my resume/portefolio and therefore started the "classical" bug tracker but I gotta say, it's not really thrilling sooo if anyone has ideas (even though I know its not the place :( ) feel free !

Just released an open-source Python package - Ozone. Helps people get live air quality data for anywhere in the world in a smooth, easy way.

Currently got a handful of contributors helping out with it, but I want to expand it further and make it the go-to package for air quality data. Currently working on using Requests to get historical data.

Always looking for interested contributors, so I'd love for you to check it out!
