Multiple databases as source

Postby marco1331653044 » Tue Mar 13, 2012 5:45 pm

Hi,

We're developing an app that connects to 2 Exact databases (two different administrations, but the structure is identical)
We're only reading from these 2 databases and information that is added will be saved to a different database (with the pk identifier of the Exact database)

Everything's working fine with just 1 database, but now we want to add the second database.

For example, there's a form for a client overview. We want to see all the clients of both databases in one list and need to be able to select one and switch to a detail view of that client.

What's the best way to do this?

Regards,

Marco

You can create relations from one database table to another database table, then use this to navigate/show detail.

Marco,

Note that you cannot use related find or related sort over cross-database relations.
