I have a SQL express database in two stores which is using 3rd part software but a sql express database holds all the patient information.

I would like to merge the data from one database to another but keep the existing information in the database its going to so not a backup and restore but a migration.

Sorry am new to database admin Any help would be appreciated.

If you have 2 databases , are the various data sets in their own tables?
Is it just a case of migrating some tables - and then changeing your connection strings?

Hi

The databases have the exact same name and same tables setup in the databases just the ifnormation is different. Some of the information held is patients first and surname, reference to a jpeg image, sorage path. I dont know which tables are currently being used as there are a lot of tables setup in the database but not all fields are used.

Sorry i am a complete novice to this so please excuse my ignorance

Jack,

That sounds like a good plan but is there any instructions on how to do the cleansing and merging data?

Complete novice to this.

This will depend on certain factors , such as : amount of data , missing information, etc
One method is to load everything into one staging table and proceed to manually validate all data .
Use t-sql to create a statement tp indentify disparities.
