CIShell Manual : Merge Entities

Description

Given a database and a merging table, this generates a new database where the merges in the merging table have been performed as indicated.

Usage Hints

The input for this algorithm will typically be modified output from an algorithm such as Create Merging Table that has been reloaded into the tool.

This algorithm determines which database entity will be merged from the last column in the merging table, which will be named something like "From table: TABLE.NAME". For every set of rows with the same Merge Group Identifier, all foreign keys to entities in that merge group will be repointed to point at the single *-marked Primary Entity.
