Thanks in advance.

If your databases are on the same server then it's as simple as:
select *
from database1..tabl e1 inner join database2..tabl e2
if they are on different servers, then you'll need to add a linked
server to the database that you are running your query on. This can
be done through the GUI or by running sp_addlinkedser ver system stored
procedure. Once you've done it then, the command is:
select *
from database1..tabl e1 inner join linkedservernam e.database2..ta ble2
Hope this helps
