Re: Diferent databases on same query...

Andre,

The only reason to have data for one query in different databases is if 
the databases are on different machines. If you're running on PC-type 
hardware, you might have to do that some times for performance reasons. 
But if at that point, you should ask yourself if you shouldn't invest in 
some faster hardware ;-).

Best regards (Tschüs),
Chris
