A computer-implemented method for a crash recovery for linked databases may be provided. The linked databases comprise a source database and a related target database, and selected portions of content of tables of the source database are synchronized with respective portions of the content of the tables of the target database. Thereby, selected queries against a database management system comprising the source database are transferred to a database management system comprising the target database for processing. And the method also comprises synchronizing the portions of the content of the selected tables in the target database with the portions of the content of the selected tables in the source database by reading entries of a recovery log file relating to the source database and applying the read entries to the target database.
