If you write web applications you may already be using a version control system to keep code in sync between your servers, but what about your MySQL or PostgreSQL database?

Sure, there is replication, one master database server with one or more slaves is a possible case, but that may be overkill for most simple projects. You just want to make sure the database is the same in your development, staging and production servers at a certain time, like after some major changes in code or before a new release.

Worry not my friend as you just need a few quick commands to keep your valuable data in sync. Yes, it's command line time again.
