Assuming both databases are on the same machine, according to this you can: <br />

Basically you access the tables via database_name.table_name and the columns via database_name.table_name.c<wbr />olumn_name<wbr />. &nbsp;Then just do your usual SQL joins. &nbsp;

Hi Experts-<br />
<br />
I am hoping someone can tell me if this is possible.<br />
<br />
I am running multiple websites for a common industry. Much of the product information is the same. I would like to have 1 database that accesses all of the product information and a separate database for each client that manages the brands they carry and the prices. Is it possible to create a single query that accesses both of these databases? The query would need to access the product information from one database and the pricing from another. I am not looking to do a union. That wouldn't work.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help.

Is is possible to create a single query that accesses two databases in MYSQL

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.
