OS: MS NT 4 sp?

I want to be able to merge two tables into one using a stored procedure if possible.

I have two tables with a common set of columns. (Common meaning same column name and datatype/size.) I won't know the names of those common columns or how many columns between the two tables are common.

These two tables can also have additional columns as well.

How can I merge these two tables' structures creating a new table and then populate the resulting table with the applicable data from the existing tables?
Example:
----Table One------
[db1]..[Table One] 
ColA varchar(25) -- Same as ColA in db2
ColB int -- Same as ColB in db2
Colx char(10) -- Different Col

-------------------

----Table Two ----- 
[db2]..[Table Two]
ColA varchar(25) -- Same as ColA in db1
ColB int -- Same as ColB in db1
Col9 int -- Different Col


-------------------
The resulting table I want is:
[db3]..[MergedTbl] 
ColA varchar(25)
ColB int
colx char(10)
Col9 int



And I want to populate the resulting table with the data from the previous two tables.


Thanks Much In Advance!!! holly"
