Merge Databases

Use the DBMERGE GX to merge the contents of one or more databases into another. The option is available with the following menus:

  • Database Tools > Database Utilities > Merge Databases

Missing lines or channels in the target database (i.e., the database to modify) will be created during the merge process.
