The company i am working for is implementing Share-point with reporting servers that runs on an SQL back end. The information that we need lives on two different servers. The first server being the Manufacturing server that collects data from PLCs and inputs that information into a SQL database, the other server is our erp server which has data for payroll and hours worked on specific projects. The i have is to create a view on a separate database and then from there i can pull the information from both servers. I am having a little bit of trouble with the syntax for connecting the two servers to run the View. We are running ms SQL. If you need any more information or clarification please let me know.

Please read this about Linked Servers.
Alternatively you can make a Data Warehouse – which would be a reporting data base. You can feed this by either making procs with linked servers or use SSIS packages if they’re not linked.
