I am not sure I exactly understand your question, but I guess my first question for you is why don't you just create one table/database for the two to access, at least as far as this information is concerned?And I don't know if this works on MySQL or if it will even help answer your question but but you can access/join tables from different databases, in MS SQL you can do it by listing out the full address for the table. For example:select * from database1.dbo.table1where [insert where statements here]
