Hi people. I have 2 databases named as follows: 1) company_a 2) company_b These two databases do not have the same ER model. However, I want to access tables on "company_a" there are in "company_b". I want to use them as local tables (as other databases like Sybase allows, since you have opened a database link). The question is: can I do this using remote database servers (different hosts)? If does not, can I do it at least on local databases on the same server? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
