if DB's are in different sql server than u can use linked server,

add a linked server to your sqlserver,
and access that server by a store procedure using linked server u have added
or access that linked server by a view and join your main data's

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly, but if you want to (for example) join two tables from different databases on the same SQL server you can use the following syntax:

SQL

SELECT * FROM database1.dbo.table1 CROSS JOIN database2.dbo.table2 ...

the name in front of .dbo. indicates the database...

hope this helps,
cheers
