Combining 2 data bases into 1

[leotsou]

Is it possible to combine 2 different data bases into one?

You can export the hands from one and import them into the other.

So the question I really have is, I have a database that I used with my Beta. I now have upgraded to the commercial PT3 and have lost the ability to use that database until I get the registration number from you. Can I play tonight using the database I have just created and then combine my old and new database into one without losing any data?

[Josh]

You'll need to export the hands out of your old database because the structure changed between the last beta and the commercial release.

Will PT3 recognize duplicate hands?

Here is my problem.
(1) I have a PT2 SQL database with all my hands.

(2) With my beta version I converted my database into PT3 and played 50 more hands.

(3) I installed PT3 Build 1...commercial version and my database is unavailable until I get my registration key.

(4) I have to play everyday because of a promotion at FTP so I played on my PT2 database.

When I get my Registration Key and get PT3 to recognize the old database and then import from my PT2 database so I can get those 50 hands into the database, will PT3 recognize that it has imported those 500 hands before or will it add those like they were new hands even thought they have the same hand number from FTP?

The best way to get those 50 hands from PT2 will be to export them - Utilities -> Export Hand Histories to File; and then Manual Import them into PT3.
PT3 should cope with any duplicates issues, though, it will ignore any hands it has already imported.

Thank you. It works great so far.
