Please Help,

I have 2 tables located in separate databases on the same server. I am trying to write a SQL select query to pull the information from these tables together via a common field in both tables.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me what the correct syntax is to do this.

This is an Oracle 7 database running on an Alpha with OpenVMS.

Thank you,

Steps:
1. Create a database link from Database1 to Database2. (e.g. db link name is xyz)
2. write a sql statement joining the two tables and the second tables will be suffixed by the db link name)
e.g. select count(*)
from table1 a, table2@xyz b
where a.column1 = b.column2

Hope that helps
