If you have databases (db1 and db2) and two tables in each
(t1 and t2), I think it would be easiest to dump each table
independently (pg_dump -t t1 d1 > /tmp/d1t1) and diff that to its
sister table.
You could pretty easily turn diff into COPY input.
If you do a full pg_dump of the database, you'll get non-data stuff,
like all of the sequences, index declarations, etc. (Unless *that's*
what you want to reconcile.)
