I find that I now need to pull data from our corporate Teradata box using
data that currently resides in our Pg box. Is there some tool or other
means to do this? I tried Access, but it continues to lock up my machine

TIA

Access would be the easiest way to do this, avoiding
the need to write a bunch of code. Can you describe
the problem in more detail?

Re: How to query multiple dbases efficiently?

Well I think the issue is with Access and Teradata. If I run my queries
individually, both Pg and Teradata information comes back in msecs. I
decided to do a test by placing my key field in a dummy access table.
I first ran my query as a join between my dummy Access able and my linked
Pg table. Once again, data came back in msec. Next, I ran the same dummy
Access table against my linked Teradata table, and Access locked up. I
have this funny feeling Access is trying to suck down the entire table and
then tries to run the query.
