Or even with less effort and no programming <wink>.  Using that same
sb_dbexpimp.py script Skip mentioned (either the CVS one or the 1.0a9 one)
do:

    sb_dbexpimp.py -e -d home.db -f home.export
    sb_dbexpimp.py -e -d work.db -f work.export
    sb_dbexpimp.py -i -d home_and_work.db -f home.export
    sb_dbexpimp.py -i -m -d home_and_work.db -f work.export

(This assumes that they're both DBM and not pickles.  If you don't know,
then that'll be the case).  The first two lines export the existing
databases to the 'interchange format', the third loads the 'home' one into a
new database, and the fourth *adds* the 'work' one into that database.

If you want to just add the 'home' one to the 'work one, you can just do:

    sb_dbexpimp.py -e -d home.db -f home.export
    sb_dbexpimp.py -i -m -d work.db -f home.export
