Are you sure you are not confusing databases and tables? They are not the
same thing although M$ does try and corrupt the meaning of common terms. I
routinely pull data from multiple tables in the SAME database and can see no
reason why a well designed/normalized system requires more than one
database. I use different databases for different customers but each
database contains many tables/indexes/sequences etc.
