Question

I need to execute a Query(Select only) with join of two tables from different database of same server.

Eg query will be similar to:

SELECT * FROM DB1.tbl_a LEFT JOIN DB2.tbl_b ON   DB1.tbl_a.fieldX = DB2.tbl_b.fieldY WHERE ....

Where tbl_a,tbl_b are 2 tables from 2 different database DB1,DB2 respectively

How to do that? How can I connect to MySQL server without specifying the database in the connection string but in sql query Using C#.?

Actually this question has already been answered, here is the answer :

Yes, assuming the account has appropriate permissions you can use:

SELECT ...
  FROM A.table t1
  JOIN B.table2 t2 ON t2.column = t1.col

You just need to prefix the table reference with the name of the database it resides in.
