We have developed an IDE for database development that runs on
Windows and it includes a schema compare utility, have a look here:
www.upscene.com/documentation/dbw3/tools_schemacompare.htm

The tool is called Database Workbench, see www.upscene.com


I'm sorry to report that our webhosting service is in the middle of a
hardware update at the moment and the website appears to be down,
but it should be OK later this day.
