Hi!

I have just completed a database consolidation which
combined the data of 2 databases same schema.

I did it in such a way that the effort was quite manual.

Steps like:
1. per table resequence the identity columns on the
database tables to be inserted.
2. Then import the tables using DTS one by one until
complete.

I would like to automate this procedure because I need to
consolidate two more of the same databases into the now
existing consolidated database.

What I'm doing seems to me a little basic. I'm not a
programmer, what I want to know is if there are any tips
or tools that people use or can recommend whereby I could
automated a job like this one?

Maybe someone has some sample scripts that they have used
for something similar.

Thanks!!
