This is incorrect, you can easily create a view from data across two databases (in SQL Server anyway) with the following caveats - 1) If the databases are on the same server 2) the user has a login to both databases 3) the permissions are set properly, then you can access the data in two databases as easily as one.
-----Original Message----- From: Snake Hollywood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 May 2004 14:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] OT - SQL query on two databases A view is local to a database, so you cannot have a single view form two databases. But you can setup two DSN's, query from both databases, and combine the results as long as you are selecting the same data with the same structure from both. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 18 May 2004 14:25 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [ cf-dev ] OT - SQL query on two databases > > > > Hi, > > I am using SQL2K and want to query data from two databases. > > I want to create a view which has two databases as its source. > > How do I do this ...? > > > Regards - Paul > > > > > ************************************************************** > *********************************** > The information contained within this e-mail (and any > attachment) sent by Birmingham City Council is confidential and may be > legally privileged.
