When merging two databases it is VERY IMPORTANT to use identical
short names for identical species and different short names for
different species. If not, data of different species will be merged or
overwritten.
Species are identified using the accession number and (optionally) one
additional field. If you use an additional field, a different nameserver
is used to rename species.
Because of different name servers, merging two databases is only possible
if both databases use no additional field or if they use the same.
To rename all species in both databases, press the 'Check names...' button
to open the 'SYNCHRONIZE NAMES' window.
Make sure both databases use the same additional id.
Press the 'Rename species' button to generate new names for both databases.
