Accessing 2 servers from the same SP

  • Dear all,

    I am new to SQL Server. My previous experience in RDBMS is with Informix. What I would like to do is to access tables from 2 different servers (1 local & 1 remote) from within a stored procedure running on my local server.

    Is this achievable? If yes, what is the best way to go about it?

    Thanks,

    Andreas

  • check books online (BOL) for "Linked server"

    you would create a linked server on server A to server B and then you can use Server B tables like this :

    select ... from serverB.mydatabase.myschema.mytable B

    inner join mylocalschema.mylocaltable A

    on B.key1 = A.key1
