| I have two instances of SQL running on the same machine, and would like to create a query that joins tables from both instances. I know that one way of doing this would be to link the servers, and then reference the table that way; is there another way of doing this without linked servers? |

| You can use openrowset to access the other instance without a linked server.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
