I have two different databases in two different servers.
How can I set up my dsn to query the two different databases?
For instance,
To make this below sample query:

select dbo.databaseName.tableName.fieldName,
theOtherdbo.otherDatabaseName.OtherTableName.otherFieldName
from dbo.databaseName.tableName,
theOtherdbo.otherDatabaseName.OtherTableName
where dbo.databaseName.tableName.key = theOtherdbo.otherDatabaseName.OtherTableName.key
how can I set up the dsn?
Thanks in advance

You can't in a DSN.

First option is to link the servers on the server side. Assuming you're using SQL Server you can do it using sp_AddLinkedServer, or through Enterprise Manager under Security I think.

Second is to create two separate database connections and merge/link the two in code somehow.

Cheers,
Andrew
