Nope, see:

* [MSDN] Create Linked Servers (SQL Server Database Engine)[^]
* {youtube] sql server 2008 linked server[^]

By creating a linked server, you can work with data from multiple sources. The linked server does not have to be another instance of SQL Server, but that is a common scenario.

Cheers,

No it is not "dangerous" per se

It can however lead to problems if abused... see this blog on bad practices with linked servers[^]

And here is a discussion on the pros and cons of linked servers[^]

Google has many more.
