Hello,

I expect to create a single database that combines databases of various countries. I have already de-normalised different survey rounds of a particular country and created single database for each country. Then what should I take care if I append various countries' databases together? My purpose is to find out if living in different countries have any impact on v133 of a particular ethnic group that live in all these countries.

Because different countries have different weighting systems, I think the "svyset" command may not work for such a combined database.

Thank you very much!
