Solution 2

You should link one server to another (please refer the following link for details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188279.aspx[^]) and then you be able to create queries for example for query on server1

SQL

SELECT a.*, b.* FROM [Server2].[Database2].[YourSchema2].[Table2] AS a
  JOIN [Database1].[YourSchema1].[Table1] AS b
    ON a.SomeColumn2 = b.SomeColumn1

You need to set user mappings for the second server. This article could be useful: http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3691721/Setting-up-a-Linked-Server-for-a-Remote-SQL-Server-Instance.htm
