If there's to better way you should be able to simply copy the docs without first exporting them:
For $dbname in $dbNames Return Let $docs := collection($dbname) For $doc in $docs db:add($newDbName, $doc, $local:makeNewDocUrl($doc))
Or something close to that

Hi,
Is there a simple, fast way to merge databases? For example, suppose I have 200 databases, each with 5 XML documents, and the document paths are unique across all the databases. I want to produce a database containing all 1000 documents.
I looked in the Database Module wiki and nothing jumped out as being uniquely tailored for this task. I¹m sure there is an ad hoc way to do it by looping over the documents in the databases, exporting them, and adding them to the new database. But if that takes the same amount of time as building the 200 databases in the first place, I should change other things about my design to avoid the need to merge databases.
Thanks, Amanda
