The syntax "SELECT ... FROM table1, table2 IN externaldatabase" appears
to require that _both_ table1 and table2 reside in the external
database; i.e., they must both be in the same database.  So this doesn't
seem to do the trick.

What would be the proper syntax/constuction to join tables from
different databases?  (Seems like this sort of thing should be fairly
straightforward, but can't seem to get a handle on it.)

To clarify my original inquiry:

Creating a hard link in one of the databases to the table(s) in the
other database is not an option in my situation, for reasons beyond my
control
