| If the two databases are on the same SQL Server instance, you can simply use a three part name for the "remote" database:select here.*from MyLocalTable hereinner join MyOtherDatabase.dbo.MyOtherTable there on here.MyColumn = there.MyColumnIf the other database is on another instance, you could define a linked server relationship to that database and then use a four part name (LinkedServerName.Dataqbase.Schema.Object) to access the remote item.=======================================In all life one should comfort the afflicted, but verily, also, one should afflict the comfortable, and especially when they are comfortably, contentedly, even happily wrong. -John Kenneth Galbraith, economist (1908-2006) |
