Hi, This is almost definitely really niche but I thought I'd send the message in case it is relevant for any reason. We have a view in our Oracle database which takes a spatial table (source of GeoServer store) and joins it with non-spatial data from another Oracle database which is not in our control. The view is slow as you would expect however it cannot be loaded into GeoServer because GeoServer is discovering the reference to an alternate database somehow. The reason I thought I'd email is that it does work if you view it in a viewer's such as Toad but it also works fine in other GIS capable applications such QGIS and FME.
Please note, the reference to the other database should be in the database view not an SQL view in GeoServer. I think it is logical that GeoServer may not accept that sort of thing but I'm confused by why GeoServer even knows the view is referencing another database, I would have expected it to just query the view in the source database and let the database handle the joins but I think it is something to do with the way GeoServer gets the metadata (although I'm guessing). I'm hoping it would be easy to check in other database types, just create a view which references another database / schema and then see if the view can be published in GeoServer and rendered by QGIS. It is probably too niche to log it as a bug and so I'm not necessarily expecting that we do anything but I thought I'd ask round to see if others can easily recreate the situation to see if it is just me as usual.
