Hi Springer
You could try joining the databases using a common field assuming the
second one does not have new point features. However, I expect you are
adding new point features.
In that case, I usually write a little python script to generate a new
set of features in the update layer that matches those of the master
layer. I then recalculate the values of the new features before
dropping the initial set of fields. You can use Graphical Modeler to
generate a model and access through the Processing Toolbox> Models Group.
If you send me to sample shapefiles, I can put it together if you are
not familiar with the Graphical Modeler.

Hello All,
I have a master database (point shapefile) of trees to which I need to
add new records frequently. The two files have different (but
similar) attribute lists. I need to combine them and add the new
attributes into the appropriate SHP database columns.
Copying and pasting records from the new file into the master list
does work but if the fields are not identical, no attributes are
brought into the master file.
Is there a way to import the new records into their corresponding
fields in the master file?
I've searched for help on this to no avail. Manifold GIS handles this
very well, setting up a field matching dialogue but I would prefer to
keep the process within QGIS.
Thanks very much for any ideas . . . .
