Syncing large tables between addons

http://wowuidev.pastey.net/108921

that explains most of my problem at the top, pretty much im just trying to find an efficient way to sync the different data each addon has collected, without any of it getting overwritten.

thanks

I have to say that IMO the far bigger problem is that the addon assumes that it is getting trustworthy information. It would be trivial for any client to cheat by modifying the saved variables file, or creating code that manually triggers your addon's event handler to spoof a duel victory.
