You can join a table or file of one of 80 or so types to a table or file of another type, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily a good idea. Turn on SQL traces and you'll see why (as Waz mentioned). This can occur even if the two tables are of the same type but on different servers or accessed from different data adapter connections.
