So sorry if this has been answered before, but I cannot find an answer anywhere. I have a SQL database on server “A” that has had updates etc etc on it at the same time the same database is on server “B”.

Now the issues is, some websites moved over sooner than others and those were being updated etc on server “B” while the other websites (maybe 2 or 3 weeks worth of signups) where being updated on server “A.”

Question is, I can’t do an import from server “A’s” .bak file to server “B’s” cause I lose all of server B’s data. Anyway to only import data that is different to server “B” from “A?” Make sense?

Thank you in advance…

    I would suggest taking a look at SQL Data Compare and SQL Compare from RedGate. You could create a one-time script, but these tools really come in handy for situations like this.

    It sounds like SQL Data Compare is the tool you need right now. It allows you to compare data between two databases (you can select individual tables) and synchronize them. It’s extremely useful when dealing with identity columns and constraints.
