| | Posted: | | | | Here's the scenario - I have a DB for DVDs, a DB for Blu-rays, a DB for HD DVDs, and a Master DB that contains everything. To create the master, I use the backup & restore method.
I think there should be a merge function that detects the differences between two DBs and imports only those differences. Kinda like the way source code control works.
Maybe it could be implemented as a new option in Restore or added as File->Merge Database... |

| | Posted: | | | | Why have multiple databases in the first place? Is there something you can't do in a combined database, then a feature request to address this might be a better idea.
If you have to use multiple databases you could do all your work (adding and editing profiles) on the master DB, then create the others by:
1) Filter by media type (you will need to do one at the time).
2) Flag the displayed
3) Create Backup
While I rely on merge tools on a daily basis, I know they can fail and if I can coordinate with my coworkers so we avoid merge conflics, I certainly will do so. You might have a use case for editing the same record in two databases, but then I recommend you specify that usecase - maybe it can be addressed directly instead of a feature request to improve something you shouldn't have to do in the first place. | | | Regards
