    Lightbulb 2 backend databases


    Is it possible to have 2 back-end databases linked by 1 front-end database? I need to create 1 database for safety & equipment and a 1 for employee scheduling, BUT I want the end user to be able to access both databases from 1 central location. If so, is there a resource out there that will explain the best way to go about doing it?

    Yes, this is possible. Nothing new to know. Just set links to each backend tables.

    You can link a Front End database to several back ends. (Oracle, SQL Server, mYSQL, Access.....)

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
