I don't know what you are using those database for, but nothing prevents
you from letting your clients connect to the different databases the
same time.

I use for instance a MS Access front end (yes, I know but clients
request etc.) to connect to different ODDBC sources and t works just fine.

Another solution is of course to integrate the tables that you need in
your joins in one database.
