RE: Query across two databases on the same server
yea, I thought it would be that easy too but it doesn't work. Any other ideas?

Re: Query across two databases on the same server
It really should be that easy, though Peter's example is missing the FROM clause. I'm sure he just meant to show the syntax for db.table.column rather than a complete query. Why don't you tell us what version of mysql you have, the query you tried, and the result you got. Michael Ed Reed wrote: yea, I thought it would be that easy too but it doesn't work.

Re: Query across two databases on the same server
I found the problem. There was a hyphen in my database name. Re-created the database and re-imported my data, now everything works fine. Thanks to everyone.
