Hmm ... depends what you are trying to achieve here. You can join between databases, assuming that they have the same code page. That assumes they are on the same SQL instance. For different instances, you could go the linked server route, for example.

It really depends on what you are trying to achieve... For real-time data, I would try and avoid duplicating the data.
