+# Database-Merging-SQLite3
+This repository contains a Python script to merge SQLite database files. Databases should have identical tables and identical schemas of the tables. Data entries in the databases can be different, or identical.
+  -Databases with mismatched tables will most likely NOT merge.
+  -Databases that share the same table names, but with different column names/types will most likely NOT merge.
+  
+## Instructions
+1. Make sure that you have Python 3.5.* installed.
+2. Make sure that the script and the databases you wish to merge are all in the same folder.
+3. Open the Python script, "mergeScript.py" in a text editor.
+4. Navigate to the section of code labeled, "Input Parameters".
+5. Change the value of the variable, "mainDB" with the name of your main database and its file extension. The value must be wrapped in quotes.
+6. Add the names of the other databases to merge into the list variable titled, "otherDBs". Make sure that the values are wrapped in quotes and are comma separated. 
+7. Open up the Python terminal and run the script.
