select inner join between 2 linked server ?

Hi,

  Ok, here is a tricky one.

I have 2 linked server configured properly. I can execute select statement on both servers from Management Studio. So far so good.

But, for wathever reasons, the designers of the other system (which is a Pervasive DB) decided to split the tables between 2 distincts databases (the reason why I have 2 linked servers on 2 ODBC DSN). And I have to extract data on tables that are on both databases.

So I have those queries:
select * from openquery(ExactSQL, 'SELECT "Id Product" FROM Product where number=''PP141-72''')
select * from openquery(ExactGPAO, 'SELECT * FROM ProductRecipe where "Id Product" = 3532') => 3532 is the Id Product of PP141-72

Is there a way I can do a join between those tables?
thanks

This should work fine as:

select * from openquery(ExactSQL, 'SELECT "Id Product" FROM Product where number=''PP141-72''')
INNER JOIN  openquery(ExactGPAO, 'SELECT * FROM ProductRecipe where "Id Product" = 3532')
   ON .....

after some fine tuning, I could made it works:

select ExactSQL.[Id Product], ExactGPAO.* from openquery(ExactSQL, 'SELECT * FROM Product') as ExactSQL
INNER JOIN  openquery(ExactGPAO, 'SELECT * FROM ProductRecipe') as ExactGPAO
   ON ExactSQL.[Id Product] = ExactGPAO.[Id Product]
   where ExactSQL.number = 'PP141-72'

thanks!!
