Thread: selects / joins across db's
hello... i'm trying to join a table from one database with a table from another database(both from the same server). It seems as if postgres can't do this. I don't know what the name of what i'm trying to accomplish is, but i've seen it done in other databases with 'select * from corpdb..table, storedb..table where ...'. Thanks for any help. -- james shannon, james@motifstudios.com on 29/12/2000

I think it is coming at some point in the future though. gh > > I don't know what the name of what i'm trying to accomplish is, > but i've seen it done in other databases with 'select * from > corpdb..table, storedb..table where ...'. > > > Thanks for any help. > -- james shannon, james@motifstudios.com on 29/12/2000 >
