Lets say we have two databases, one named db1, the other one named db2.

Lets say we have two databases, one named db1, the other one named db2.
Both databases have a table called Employees. Is there anyway to join results from both tables even though they have the same name?

Note that the two tables do NOT have conflicting field names. I know this is stupid but we had to make an extension database to the existing one and to keep it simple we’d like to have the same table name in both databases.

Help is greatly appreciated, thanks

Also I know there is a similar question answered here but I didn’t find it helpful in this context.

    You should be able to refer to the tables by their fully-qualified names. If they’re in different schemas, you can say:

    SELECT * FROM Schema1.MyTable as T1 JOIN Schema2.MyTable as T2 ON T1.Something = T2.SomethingElse

    If they’re actually different databases, you’d need a database link in which case it becomes MyTable1@Database1 etc.
