ALTER TABLE my_table ADD new_column VARCHAR(20) NULL"

Assuming it's still out there, Embaracadero has DBArtisan Change Manager, which will run compares between the databases and then you can save the scripts or run them right then and there. ERwin also has similar capabilities, but it's more complicated; one of the databases should be in the model and then you can do your compare and script changes that way.

There are a couple of others out there as well. But these are the 2 that I've worked with.
