XrmMergeDatabases()													       XrmMergeDatabases()

Name
  XrmMergeDatabases - merge the contents of one database into another.

Synopsis
  void XrmMergeDatabases(source_db, target_db)
	XrmDatabase source_db, *target_db;

Arguments
  source_db Specifies the resource database to be merged into the existing database.

  target_db Specifies a pointer to the resource database into which the source_db database will be merged.

Description
  XrmMergeDatabases()  merges  source_db  into	target_db.  This procedure is used to combine databases, for example, an application specific
  database of defaults and a database of user preferences.  If the same specifier is used for an entry in both databases, the  entry  in  the
  source_db	   will       replace	    the       entry	  in	   the	     target_db	     (that	 is,	   it	    overrides
  target_db).  If target_db is NULL, XrmMergeDatabases() simply stores source_db in it.  Otherwise, source_db is destroyed by the merge,  but
  the database pointed to by target_db is not destroyed.  The database entries are merged without changing values or types, regardless of the
  locales of the databases.  The locale of the target database is not modified.

  For more information, see Volume One, Chapter 13, Managing User Preferences.

Structures
  XrmDatabase is a pointer to an opaque data type.
