Hello nikos. You could use Kdiff3 for that purpose. Create 2 folders with the same structure as for the file system of elxis and compare them using this tool. Kdiff will mark with red color the files that need to be updated.
You don't have to make any query to database for that purpose.

We never update the database between revisions of the same Elxis version. What you see is changes to the file but have to do only with the demo contents. Forget the SQL files.

Thank you Datahell !!

It doesn't matter of you replace it or not. That file is executed only on Elxis installation, it is useless after Elxis installation. On updates Elxis performs database update from the administration console without the need of an SQL file.
