This sounds like a great hack, Julian...

(I am wanting to merge two VB 2.3.4 databases, one of them being about one week older than the other).

I wonder if anyone has had luck in trying the merge LOCALLY first, before uploading it on their server?

Also, does the merge overwrite any information in the host database? For example, if you changed the name of a forum in a newer version of the database, will the merge overwrite the newer name?

Another question... If there are two threads that are the same in the two different databases (i.e., one newer version and one older version of the thread), and there were posts that were deleted in the newer version, will the merge reinsert the deleted posts in the thread?

It sounds like a wonderful hack.

Thanks for answering my questions if you can.

Hi again,

Is there a way to merge the posts and threads of ONE user (from an older database) into a newer database where those posts and threads have been deleted, but just not merge other forum data?

Thanks,

Khashyar

Merging failed big time! I am going to restore from the back-up. The forum is a mess - missing posts, threads etc.
Step 5: Merging threads and posts failed and gave the following error:
(of course I've truncated the filedata field for it was a big one - would not fit in the post).

so basically this is , 2 forums on different servers, which are the same ? (same users/posts/threads?) am i correct?

so this wont work inporting from one siote to another?

Any update on this for vb3.?
