is it possible for two different databases to share one or more tables?
there is a website I use that you would think has a database behind it, but the names of the folk who appear in their database are often spelled differently in different contexts and I have come to suspect that there is more than one database involved. it seems they have database A for purpose A and database B for purpose B and I was just wondering whether it would be possible, in theory, for them to share the name table so that, for example, Abdel Salam Al Hajjaj does not accidentally appear as Abdesalem Al-Hajjaj.
thank you,
