1. Database Comparer:

* Added possibility to compare scripts.

* Added possibility to store and load settings into/from file.
It is possible to store settings into external file and use
the one together with IBECompare (see below).



2. IBEComparer - command-line tool to compare databases, scripts and
table data.

* IBECompare is a command-line version of corresponding IBExpert
tools: Database Comparer and Table Data Comparer.

* Use -D option to compare database metadata and script.
Use -T option to compare table data.
In both cases IBECompare produces an sql script file.

* It is necessary to specify an input settings file using
-C option. You can get the template of this file starting
IBECompare with -s option (IBECompare -s). In this case
IBECompare will create "config_sample.ini" file within current
directory. Also you can create settings file using
"Save configuration" button in IBExpert | Tools | Database
Compare.
