I'd dance a happy jig ;-)

I'm not sure whether it is quite the way to do it, but I'd have a better
time with things if I could span databases in a single request. Are
there theoretical problems with spanning databases in a single query? Is
it a feature of bad database design & implementation?

Thanks

Oracle financials has about 2000 tables in a single database :> but of
