I have a query that I need to make that will cross two servers.

Select a.Field1, b.Field2
From tableA a Left Join tableB b ON a.id = b.id

tableA resides on server1 and tableB resides on server2.

How do I do this?

Thanks.

you've add one server as a linked server to other and then use four part naming convention like Server.DB.Schema.Table
