I would like to combine multiple databases (same schema) into one

prefix them all with something that's unique to their source database.

easy to say, hard to do.


A process (and solution) may be different whether:
-the master db will replace all other databases (ie. data manipulation
would directly perform on data managed by master db);
-or the master db will reflect a combined view of data hosted by all
other databases (ie. data manipulation would still perform on
distributed databases and master db would play a role of federated view);
-or both (data manipulation have to be manageable at the both side: on
master db and on distributed db).

In my immediate case, I'm simply combining 7 global databases into a single master.

Eventually, I would like to allow our (fossology.org) users to subscribe to data in other databases. That is, allow
users to do periodic one-way batch updates from other servers.
