Can MySql 5.0 have a view of a table located on another server
Question
Can MySql 5.0 views use tables that are located on another server? What is the syntax for creating such a view?
Solution
Federated Tables: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/federated-storage-engine.html
This allows a table to be remotely accessed as if the remote table was a local table. It has its limitations but seems to meet my needs.
OTHER TIPS
Yes, you can create objects in one database that reference another database and even another host. The syntax to do so works something like this:
USE localhost.myDB;
SELECT * FROM host2.db.tableName;
