Ok, does any1 know how to merge databases? If so can you explain what to do?
Reason, I am switching from extdb to extdb2 and v1.2 but I don't want my players to lose everything.
Please Post walkthrough link or walkthrough.

You don't need to merge, should work 100%

I did the following ...
Export MySQL db to sql file
Create new database using 2.04 schema
Make custom sql changes
Update the exported sql file with any issues ( case sensitive table names and remove drop / create table statements )
Use a tool like navicat to import the sql into the new database
Make sure all dlls, ini and extDB connection configs are updated.
Make sure your main_config.sqf is updated
Enjoy the benefits of 1.2 !
Edit: you may need to run that jpgtopaa.sql which changes all your saved texture names to .paa as they were all converted in 1.2

Why? Just backup your DB. Upgrade to 2.04, run the extra sql file for jpg > paa and youre done.
