Hi,

I have 2 applicaions running for which one application uses database Mysql and other application uses MSS SQL Server 2005

I wanted to make a query where I an make a joins on both Mysql table and MSSQL 2005 database

I wanted to make a query in MSSQL2005 with Mysql tables

Also, I wanted to make a query in Mysql Database where I should be able to connect MSSQL2005 server

Therefore I wanted to make a query in both servers where I should be able to connect both database servers

Please guide me how it is possible

Many Thanks

You can use linked servers in SQL Server in order to access your MySQL database. This is an easy process. However, doing the reverse is a different kettle of fish altogether, I believe you may have to look for third party tools to do this.
