Okay, so if I create a seperate database with a seperate schema, can I make calls to the original database and CS schema? Is there some view/procedure I can create that will give me all tables in the CI database from the CS database? Also, do you know of a way to filter all database requests for a particular database through a procedure to begin with? Perhaps some sort of translator that when a user attempts to connect to the database from a JDBC connection, they will go through the procedure first?
