| Hi all,Is it possible to create a view in a T-SQL (MSSQL 2005) database to a table on a seperate server on a MySQL database (via an inter site link or something like that)?I've been told it is possible but I'm doubtful it is.Thanks |

It is possible.Create a linked server and then use the linked server name in a 4-part name in your view.
