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 For example, if you changed the name of a forum in a newer version of the database, will the merge overwrite the newer name?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.
