Is it possible to merge two databases, say moving from one computer to another and you don't want to lose information from the previous computer?

Yes it should be if you use this plugin tool... haven't tried it personally but if you use it let us know, just make sure you backup your database before you do it

But how about this? Mine sounds a bit different. I used to have songs on two separate hard drives (computer's and an external hard drive). As a result, VirtualDj created a "VirtualDj Local Database" on the external hard drive in addition to the "VirtualDj Database" on my computer. Now I have managed to get enough space for all the songs (including songs on external HD) but the songs from external HD has to be rescanned as a result of separate Vdj database. So the issue is how to merge the two separate databases (VirtualDj Database and VirtualDj Local Database) into one. Any help?

If you had copied/moved the files of the External Drive to your Internal, using VirtualDJ File Operations, then you wouldn't have any issues.
Anyways, i ll try to provide you a solution.
Example...
Your music files were in a folder named MyMusic inside your External Drive..So the path of each song was
D:\MyMusc\,,,,,,,
and you have moved these files to your Internal Drive in a folder named as MyMusicCollection, inside a folder..
so your music is now at C:\Users\YourUsername\MyMusic\MyMusicCollection
Open the Local Database from the External Drive using Notepad or a similar application.
Do a Search and Replace like this,,
Search for "D:\MyMusic\"
Replace with : " C:\Users\YourUsername\MyMusic\MyMusicCollection\"
Save this file somewhere in your computer (anywhere) and copy all lines (except the last and the first 2 ones).
Open the database xml file you have in your VirtualDJ folder (in MyDocuments) with Notepad.
Goto at the end of the file, and paste the lines one line above the end (before the </database>)
Save the file and launch VirtualDJ, without the External HD plugged
Note. If you have created Playlists with files from your External Hard Drive, you will have to do similar Search & Replace for each one of them (in MyDocuments\VirtualDJ\Playlists)
