The only way to combine PT2 databases is to use the Utilities > Export Hand Histories To File option to export the hands in each database to text files which you would then use those files to import into the one PostgreSQL database.

Use the File > Maintain Database Names window to create a new, empty Access database.
Then you have to use the Utilities > Convert Database option to convert that new db to PostgreSQL.

When I try to convert my database it asks me to define my settings but I don't have anything in the ODBC drop down. What do I need to do? Do I need to install PostgreSQL manually from their website?

Thanks

I installed an older version of SQL and managed to start importing hands from exported files but I can only import hands 10 thousand at a time. I have alot more hands is there a way to import more hands at once?

Use the File > Auto-Import... > Generic Setup window - tell it what folder to look for the hand history files in.

I am trying to convert access db to sql on pt2 and in the middle of conversion, a box pops up that says login-data source-PTRACKADDLHH-authorization-login name and password. Dont have a password.

It means one of the hand history database files that you have linked on the Utilities > Database Maintenance and Options window, Hand History DB's tab is corrupted. How many files are linked there? What are their file names?
