Migration generator

I was looking for a tool to handle the migrations for me (although I am using Doctrine DBAL I am not using Entities or the RM ATM).

Right now I make changes to my local DB and occasionally forget table changes, which of course break code when pushed to staging and worse when they make it to production. Migrations would prevent this. However for speed of work flow (for me personally) it would be nice if an addiitonal command such as "Generator" or "Skeleton" was introduced which allowed Phinx to generate the migrations based on the diff test performed on two databases (either two local DB's or a development VS staging, etc).

Is this completely out of context on what you plan on offering with Phinx? Does your DB API support viewing meta data? Have you considered using the Doctrine DBAL?

Just a thought -- great work BTW -- I will totally use this moving forward until I get everything ported over to ORM.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing Phinx's database API and migration generation flow, then assess whether Doctrine DBAL can compare two databases and expose the required metadata. Done means agreeing on the scope and producing a generator that creates migrations from a schema diff.
