SQL statement to select from 2 different tables, from two different databases (same server)

Question

How do I select from multiple tables in different databases on the same server?

Also, Is there a way to have an identifying marker so I could see where the results came

Answer 1

try this: SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=YOUR SERVER;Trusted_Connection=yes;','SELECT * FROM Table1') AS a UNION SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=ANOTHER SERVER;Trusted_Connection=yes;','SELECT * FROM Table1') AS a
