""" This module aims to compare 2 DB and check for differences.

    As it uses memory to compare table content, it may not be the right tool for huge tables.
    When you run the program, you are ask if you want a detailed comparison.
    As global comparison will list all the different tables, detailed comparison will output
    every different record (and will take longer to run)
