I got into the bad habbit of storing two separate Keepass databases :( - I would like to know if there is a way to merge both these databases into one database -
thank you

I'm a little confused as to what is being merged/copied. I use 1.06 on a thumb drive and also my home pc. I created the initial database on my home computer and then copied the entire keepass folder on to my thumbdrive. If I add an entry to my thumbdrive version while at work I copy it over the version on my pc when I get home and vice versa. This works fine until I forget and cant remember which one is the most up to date. If I use the import function I will get the new entry but also duplicates of the older entries?

I have the same problem and believe that it's solved by looking at the bottom of the KP screen where it says :
xx Groups/ xxy Entries
The number of groups will be the same on your thumb drive and on your pc. However you will have more entries on the site where you added a new entry. You should omit the Backups from this calculation(I just delete them).

Where you copied the database between USB and hard disk, importing the KeePass database will work well. Only additional / changed entries will be imported.
The downside is that you have to do it on both databases - open the USB and import the hard disk, then vice versa.

Hello all,

from File
ALT+I (Import From)
ALT+K (Keepass Database)
This only works properly if the databases started life as identical copies. If not you will have quite a bit of duplication to sort out.
cheers, Paul
To reduce the number of duplicated entries, one could try the 'RmvDup' plugin: http://keepass.info/plugins.html .

The user was asking about MERGING 2 databases, one would assume that means combining 2 DIFFERENT databases.
You certainly CAN just copy a DB from one machine to another or a thumb drive just to maintain multiple copies. I do it daily using SynchBack ( http://www.2brightsparks.com/welcome/aw2/backup.html?gclid=CN-B_9PRyZQCFQyI1QodVFfFkw ).
