select from different database
Started by Jacob Vennervald Madsenover 24 years ago2 messagesgeneral
Hi All
Is it possible to fetch data from another database than the current?
E.g. like in Oracle I can select data from 2 different DB's like this:
select * from db1.table1 as tbl1, db2.table2 as tbl2 where tbl1.id1 =
tbl2.id2;

This has already been discussed. Postgres doesn't have this ability.
Emulating Oracle's concept of schemas is on the list hoever,
which *will* allow multiple-DB interactions. You'll just have to
wait for that one. ^_^
