Merge MySQL Databases

[allan]

hey all --

I am moving several sites from one server to another. A couple of these sites have forums. During the propagation process, the databases became out of sync, so there are some posts/users in one database that are not in the other.

Is there an easy way to merge the two databases together, so all the information is in the same place?

Well it's technically beyond me. :D But if they're vbulletin forums their is a vbulletin to vbulletin merge tool hack that may do the job.

Cool, but no this is a phpBB bulletin board.

My guess is he hoped for an easy to use MySQL sync tool ... which seems to exist (or it least it should) .. hope someone knows of one .. since I am interested too ...

I know vB's and phpBB's data bases are very similar...Maybe try the hack tool on a couple copys of the databases?
