Combining Users Id's

I run in to this scenario quite a bit. I have customers that have 4 or 5 ID's or some anyomous Id's is there a way for me to combine them all into one current ID for them so they have all the past history?

Thanks

I don't believe that's possible without directly changing the database info. If that's the case though, I wouldn't recommend trying to do that. You could create a mapping table grouping various user IDs under a single one and change how you're loading history based on that, but directly changing IDs around would be pretty sloppy and potentially site breaking.

I have done it by changing the database. A couple of our clients finally decided it was easier to not allow anonymous checkout than it was to pay us to change the entries in the database.
