Distributed databases

Hello,
I am new to distributed databases. I wanted to use stored
procedures in distributed databases.
If a view contains query in which tables from different servers are used,
how should I reference them. For example
Suppose me view is
CREATE VIEW dbo.Example1
AS
SELECT * from table1, tabel2
If now table1 is present on 1 server and table2 on other. Can I pass a
argument to the view saying from which server should I take a particular
table from.
Also when I try to execute a stored procedure, it gives followinh error
Server [servername] is not configured for RPC
Can anynone help me solve this out
Thanks,
Reshma
Hi
Look up 'Partitioned View's, 'Distributed Partitioned Views' and 'Linked
Servers'.
Some links:

What you are describing is really linked servers, but it does have
performance implications as remote queries have to be executed and data
passed around. Partitioning data is only useful when you have massive
tables.
When you create the view, you have to know the tables and locations. You can
not dynamically decide where to get the data from.
p.s. Posting a question to one newsgroup will do the job.
