You might want to have a look at my SQL Workbench/J

It has a command that can compare the data of two databases for differences and can write the necessary DML statements to update the target database to match the data from the source.

Details can be found here:
http://www.sql-workbench.net/manual/wb-commands.html#command-data-diff

As it does not compare two dumps, but the databases directly, tt requires that connections can be made to both databases at the same time (so it's not possible to do an "offline-diff")

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions (support email address is on the homepage).
