How would you link 2 Databases on 1 SQL server? So I would have DatabaseA which would contain all the info, and then DatabaseB would have a link to DatabaseA and have all the same information as DatabaseA. WHenever DatabaseA changes their values, then DatabaseB would automatically change as well.
Thanks.
Linking databases on a single server is straightforward. You could use the OpenQuery syntax which uses Linked Servers. In the case of “DatabaseA changes their values, then DatabaseB would automatically change as well”, this would require that you configure SQL Server Replication using a transactional replication model with DatabaseA table(s) published to DatabaseB matching tables.
