Tables from different databases

Hi!

I was wondering whether someone could tell me how to perform
a query taking data from two tables that are in two different
database.

Thanks in advance

 

Re:Tables from different databases


Sorry but queries over tables in different database aren't possible.

I think you can if you use the BDE.

Probably right but I dropped the BDE long time ago and therefore I can't
speak for BDE :-)).

I meant the database engine doesn't support multi database queries.

I've never tried it, and I also drop-kicked the BDE long ago.     =)

And, as I read elsewhere, cross-database BDE operations are    v  e  r  y

You can also use JDBC (if you use java).
