My problem is how can I merge these databases? what software can do it?
SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare by Red gate are good database tools for copying/merging data. http://www.red-gate.com/

i need a little bit help.
I have a developer DB (dev_home), in this db are many tables.
I need a compare to another DB (real_home).
The Tables are the same, but the table_names not!
For example i develop # dev_home, in the table personal.
In this table i've created new field, which are not exist in #real_home DB.
There are tools that do this i.e. compare two different instances of a database or two different databases etc ..
Such as
Red-Gate's SQL data comparison tool
or
You can also use Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition (Free)
Does anybody have any recommendations for SQL Data Comparison tools that will compare and synchronize FileTable data?
So far I have looked at Visual Studio Data Comparison tool, SQL Delta and SQL Data Compare by Redgate and none of them appear to do it.
You can use the xSQL Data Compare to compare the tables and generate synchronization scripts. It should be able to compare and synchronize FileTables.
I have two tables in different databases with different schema, how can I compare them both?
Let's say I have the DB1 with the table history.Table1 and another DB2 with the same table but in a different schema, backup.Table1.
Now I need to compare what's different besides the schema name obviously.
Try SQL Compare from Redgate. They allow you to compare pretty much everything from the actual data to the schema.
I dont believe there is any native functionality in sqlserver.
Compare SQL Server schemas and deploy differences fast

I have two distinct mssql databases with identical schemas but different data on one system. I want to merge the data between the two databases by adding the data from one into the other.
I tried to use Redgate Data Compare but couldn't find any instructions how to do it.
Are there any tools (or databases that have built-in tools) or instructions to make this job fairly simple?
xSQL Software has developed a set of tools for this type of database operations. You can use xSQL Data Compare. To achieve the result you require you specify the left and right database, do the compare and then, to add the data that are missing from the left db to the right db you need to uncheck sync for the right rows and generate and execute the script.
Here you can see the rows unchecked:
And as you can see, the script does not generate any DELETE statements, only INSERTS for the rows that are missing on the right DB
Hope this helps!

I have two instances of same database and I want to have only one instance of database, so what I need is to import data from one databes to another.
Ofc I can go table by table, but there is lots of tables. I was wondering is there sql statement that can merge two databases or is there option in Microsoft SQL server database studio to this thing?
There is nothing built in like that.
If you don't want to go the manual way (comparing and then importing/exporting), you can look at a propriety tool like RedGate Data Compare that can accomplish this.
