You could also import both dumps on a local MySQL instance and then run the diff from MySQLWorkbench which would perhaps yield slightly better results.

Otherwise, you could also use the enhanced data pipeline to access Appian Cloud databases with MySQLWorkbench. docs.appian.com/.../Enhanced_Data_Pipeline_for_Appian_Cloud.html

Thanks Mathieu. We have Cloud instance. Right now I am generating schema from two environments and comparing manually. But thought if there is any better way which will generate differential script automatically instead of manual comparison and generating script manually.

Depends if you're in the cloud or not.

If you are on-premise, you can do it via MySQLWorkbench.

Click File and New model
On the new model window which has been opened, click Database and Compare schemas.

On cloud, only way I that I am aware is either to generate a MySQL dump in PHPMyAdmin and compare the dumps from both environments. You could also use the https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/mysqldump plugin to generate the dumps to compare as well.
