## Example: Postgres + MySQL

```sql theme={"system"}
SELECT pg_users.name, mysql_orders.amount
FROM postgres_db.public.users pg_users
JOIN mysql_db.sales.orders mysql_orders
  ON pg_users.id = mysql_orders.user_id;
```

<Note>
  This runs live with no ETL—DuckDB orchestrates the query under the hood.
