Can you define "merge" here a bit more precisely?  In particular, are
you going to be creating a number of schemas in a single database, one
per application?  Or will you be trying to integrate data from each of
these applications into a single database schema?

Subject: [askdba] Merging Databases

Hi guys,

I have to present a detailed proposal/technical plan of merging a few
databases of similar functional nature (not essentially similar DB
objects) without changing the application (or minimum possible
changes).

e.g. Several customer Information databases will have customer
specific data but underlying tables etc could be different in all of
them. The Requirement is to merge them.

I have a few strategies to achieve that but to elaborate upon them and
see if there could be more strategies, I was looking for some external
documentation.

Does anyone has any white paper or some documentation on this topic ?
Any help would be more than appreciated.

Thanks
