It's the simplest-thing-that-could-possibly-work: you can run `datasette one.db two.db three.db --crossdb` and then use the `/_memory` page to run joins across tables from multiple databases.
It only works on the first 10 databases that were passed to the command-line. This means that if you have a Datasette instance with hundreds of attached databases (see [Datasette Library](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/417)) this won't be particularly useful for you.
So... a better, future version of this feature would be one that lets you join across databases on command - maybe by hitting `/_memory?attach=db1&attach=db2` to get a special connection.
Also worth noting: plugins that implement the [prepare_connection()](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#prepare-connection-conn-database-datasette) hook can attach additional databases - so if you need better, customized support for this one way to handle that would be with a custom plugin.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",325958506,Support cross-database joins,
