Merging two databases into one

I currently have two databases which contain the same database structure
but different data. How do I merge the two databases into one single
database?

How do you want to merge the data? Just copy all the data from dbA to dbB or
all the data from dbB to dbA. Do you have to resolve any conflicts? that is,
could the same key can have different data in different databases?

To add on to Vyas, Incase if you have same table definitions in both
databases and different data then use:-
Insert into DBnameA..Tablename select * from DBnameB..tablename where
condition...
Do the above for all tables.. In your query take care of constraints as well
as identity.
