Hi Tim, There is no out-of-box way to marge records in Rails framework. However, by using ActiveRecord, you can do data operations like comparing filed values, inserting new records, and deleting old records.
I think you are asking very core part of your business, and I assume no one can really answer what to do for your problem. How do you define "data is similar or same"? If records matches, which record should be left or creating new one? Is this process happens in batch mode or when user processed specific actions? Thinking these questions may help you to define "your algorithm". Once you come up with your algorithm, you put it into your model and encapsulate the process. Hope this will help.
