Using Multiple Databases

  • I was wondering if it was possible to use two MS SQL databases for one App. I have a customers db which has tables that hold user specific information. I also have tables that track information requests. I am going to develop an app that will allow tracking of which representitive is assigned to handle a specific request for information. The problem is I dont want to have an employee table in the customer table and I am a newb so does anyone have any suggestions Please. Thanx

  • Sure can. Set the permissions for each db as though it's the only db. If you need cross db joins, the user must be in both dbs adn you qualify the table names as db.owner.tablename in the queries. Or create a view to do this in each db that looks at the other one to make most queries simpler.
