Hi, is there anyway to merge two databases ?
Databases are from different vb forums.

To merge two vbulletin db's correctly, use Impex, which is downloaded from vbulletin.com memberarea.

Thanks. But which one should I use, because I dont want to lose any data.

Use the one from vbulletin.com members area, thats why its in the members area at vbulletin.com

Unless you're merging vB 3.7...Until it goes Gold the Impex for that version won't be released as fars as I understand it.

What if I want to import one vB database into another... is Impex the right tool for that? What I've read so far (at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=116398) seems to assume you're importing from phpbb or some other forum software.

So I guess the question is... is there a better or simpler way to join two vB forums? THe new one is 3.7 and the old is 3.0.x if that makes a difference.

...oops, just noticed that the original question was for two vB databases. Sorry... any other advice though?

Same advice, ImpEx is the tool to use.

See the manual: Appendix 5: ImpEx Import System

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
