I'm happy to help, Sandeep :) I'm particularly glad it's working for you now. Merging databases is, well, nearly impossible right now. You'd end up with a broken mess, since entries in tables reference others by ID, and those IDs would change. A custom extraction/merging tool would need to be deve

It turns out that the reason Review Board thought my database hadn't been updated was because it hadn't: I had moved the site onto my new machine and not updated the relevant paths in /conf/*. My current status is that I now have two perfectly working sites, the legacy running off SQLite and pr
