I think there is no reasonable way to do this. But what is your reason to try this? Usually I would put the common table within its own database and simply use this database in queries, like this: SELECT * FROM table1 as one, common.table2 as two WHERE one.whatever = two.whatever If that does not fit your case, please elaborate.
