| I need to join two databases on separate servers based on phone number fields.I have a call management system and a CRM system that aren't linked.My aim is to link the phone number in the two databases so that I can see company names, relationship type etc from the crm system.Two problems are:Inner join and formating the CRM Phone Number field i.e. removing white spaces.Any ideas? |

you need to add linked server to one of system in another and then use four part naming to access the tablefor ex:USE [CRMDB]SELECT required columns...FROM table tJOIN [CMS]..dbo.table t1ON t1.phonenumber = t.phonenumber I've given indicative db names so please replace them with actual names------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/ |
