Thanks for the reply.  The master databases are on separate machines,
but I have them replicating to a central server, so I have all databases
on one server.  I can login to the database radius and do a 'select *
from radius2.ACCOUNTING;' and it works fine - so I figure once I get the
syntax sorted I will be able to do the rest.
