Is it possible to do a cross table join in mysql spaning different tables? in different databases.
This seem to be easily possible in MSSQL, and greatly speeds up data transfer?
How about mysql, do you need to use a powerful IDE to achieve this? or do you have to write a program to do something like this?
UPDATE tblUser SET tblUser.ReceiveInfo=old_database.dbo.contact.third_party_info_yn FROM tblUser inner join old_database.dbo.contact ON old_database.dbo.contact.id=tblUser.oldid
Sure, very easy. Prefix the table name with the database name, like you show. We do cross-database joins on a regular basis. For example:
It certainly won’t speed up data transfer compared to having both tables in the same database, though.
Now, if your tables are sitting on different database servers, the answer is no. An example of this is if your database is too big and you need to shard your tables. Things get more than a little messy. But given that you seem to be happy with the MS SQL solution, that does not seem to apply here.
