Re: MS SQL Inter-database query question

[Marlon Jabbur <msjabbur () uol com br>]

If the databases are located in the same server then, even if the
information is sent over a socket, it will not be transfered over the
network and cannot be sniffed by another system connected to the
network. 

However, an sniffer in the same system can listen to this communication.
