    Query multiple db....

    Hi All...

    I have a database for each of last 4 years .....categories are similar but data varies
    they are at its limit , so combining them is not in order

    How can I have a query that goes thru all 4 at same time?

    My guess is that you're storing attachments in tables. That would be the wrong approach. If that is the case, one db with a text field that stores the attachment path is the way to go.

    Do the four databases contain ONLY tables?

    The DB size is just over 1 gig each
    3 tables to each
    about 265000 lines of info in each

    Its a horseracing database ....factors are the same but values change

    Have you tried creating a new db and linking to the tables in the other DB's rather than importing the tables?
