    I have a requirement to merge two custom SharePoint lists based on unique column. I do not have SharePoint Designer access due to some constraints. I am planning for Visual Studio programming by quering the custom lists and adding them to the datasource of the Grid. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Findings:

    Below link can be used for retrieving list data using SPSiteDataQuery and Merge tables using the below syntax
    table1.Merge(table2, true, System.Data.MissingSchemaAction.Add);
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/eu/sharepointdevelopment/thread/fd3592fa-96f0-4e70-bd96-933ed5c7e2bd

    I am looking for a way to merge records only based on unique columns [Common columns like title] present in both the lists.

    Can you provide a link to an article on how to use CAML for this purpose? I am not a programmer and do not have access to SP Designer. We have MOSS 2007 Standard sites, with no access to Central Administration. Thanks.
