Merge two Databases

OCCURRENCE

ARB_INTRO

 

DESCRIPTION

Allows to merge two databases. Complete 'ARB' databases, selected 'species', 'fields' and/or 'field' entries, 'SAI' entries, and trees (see ´Glossary´) can be transferred from the database specified as 'Database I' to that specified as 'Database II'.

Define databases I and II by typing (path and) file names to the 'FILE NAME:' subwindows below the 'Select Database I' and 'Select Database II' prompts, or by selecting them from the corresponding 'Directories and Files' subwindows. Database I must exist, database II may. If database II does not exist a new database is created. 'ARB_MERGE' can be used to extract data from database I.

Press the 'SELECTED' button to

  • Load the two databases
  • Close this window
  • display the 'ARB_MERGE' window.

 

NOTES

'ARB' databases stored in any directory with read and write permission can be selected. Find the path by successively selecting the corresponding directories from the 'Directories and Files' subwindows.

If you enter a non-existing name for database II, a new database will be created.

 

WARNINGS

The data will always be transferred from 'Database I' to 'Database II'.

!!! If there are entries (for selected data) in both databases, those in 'Database II' will be overwritten.!!!
