Question

I am trying to merge two similar tables (not exact) to one table. Getting lots of errors Any ideas on best way to do this?

Answer 1

I see there is not a Type field in tblDVPage to hold tblDVpagecategory.type, if you wanted to merge the latter into the former, so you may need to create a new column for it, or hold tblDVpagecategory.type with tblDVPage.pageType.

Either ways you will end up having something similar to this:

INSERT INTO tblDVPage(Title, ParentId, PageType, MenuOrder)
SELECT Title, ParentId, Type, MenuOrder
FROM tblDVpagecategory

Obviously your old IDs in tblDVpagecategory will be gone, and regenerated when the items are merged into tblDVPage. If you might want to differentiate what is what with a new column, but depends on your scenario.
