Hi I have to consolidate 12 dbs ona server to a single database.The databases are having same objects. and few tables don't have primary key in them. Please suggest a work around for this Sumit
Welcome to the forum. What is the relation between primary key and databases count? There isn't any, in this case have you tested or compared the current hardware and upcoming hardware of the servers to ensure those 12 databases can cope up with available resources.
