Translating with DrWatson… this can take a few seconds the first time.
This is a genuine, complex translation. DrWatson protects commands, error codes, and log output while naturally translating the surrounding text. It’s translated once and saved.
Jane Vohden asked whether a view can be created in one database over tables in another. Andrew Hamm saw no reason why not; Brett Randall confirmed yes, provided both databases have the same logging mode. Flavio Gattari added that in IDS 9.21 the tables must not have BLOB columns or the error 'not implemented yet' appears. Answered.

Can you create a view in one database that looks at a table(s) in another
database?
Thanks. - Jane

Can't see why not.
What does the SQL manual say in the CREATE VIEW pages?

Yes. See (other) Brett's post for syntax. The two databases will need
to have the same logging mode.

1) the two databases must have same logging mode
2) in IDS 9.21 (IDS2000) involved tables must NOT have BLOB columns; if they
have, yuou would get the error "not implemented yet" in response (IDS 9.21
does not allow remote access to tables with BLOB columns)
