We have a client site that was in production. I took a snapshot of the production database and proceeded to upgrade umbraco & uCommerce to the latest versions. In the meantime, there have been new orders submitted on the production site. So I need to be able to import those new orders from the current production database into the newly upgraded database (not to mention selectively delete the test orders I've submitted) and then re-deploy to prod. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Yeah this is what I'm leaning towards. Convincing my boss to spend the money is the only challenge. I'm also going to look into using the uConnector for future issues likes this.
Just to follow up, I was able to use RedGate's SQL Data Compare to accomplish this. Luckily, there were no schema changes and the RedGate tool made merging the data a breeze. Highly recommend that tool!
How to merge orders from different databases

Hey Kent,
Not necessarily a uCommerce solution but maybe something like http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-data-compare/ ?

Hey Kent,
I think they have a 14 day trial, so you could get this task done at least for free :)
