Hi
I'm working on an ASP project where the clients want to be able to
effectively perform SELECT queries joining tables from two different
databases (located on the same SQL-Server).
Does this involve creating virtual tables that link to another database, or
am I completely on the wrong track?
Any hints as to where I might find more information (buzz-words, etc.) would
be most appreciated.
Thanks

Try 'four part names' :).

Use 3-part naming:
select
*
from
dbo.MyTable l
join
OtherDB.dbo.OtherTable o on o.PK = l.PK

The OP said the two DB's were on the same server. Therefore, 3-part naming
is sufficient.

It sure is! I've just tried it out. Where I went wrong was thinking that
2-part naming would do it (omitting the 'dbo').
Thanks, Tom
Agreed, but why not provide a more complete info since theres a little
difference? He may need to pull data from two servers tomorrow...

There's often a performance difference.

Do you mean that actually specifing servername slows down the query? Could
you explain why?

If the server name use is @@servername, SQL Server will shortcut, and
there is no overhead.
But if the linked server is defined a true loopback, so that there is a
new connection made, there is obviously an overhead, as data is first
passed to SQL Server, to the OLE DB provider on one connection, and then
the OLE DB provider passes the data back to another connection.

Thank you for that, I assumed engine would 'optimize' that and never
checked. Just when I think I actually know something ;).....
