Inner join on two hosts?

How do I make an "inner join" in Splunk for this SQL query?

SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table1
INNER JOIN table2
ON table1.id=table2.user_id;

It goes something like this:

source=table1 | JOIN type=inner id [ SEARCH source=table2 | rename user_id AS id ]

I'm new using Splunk.

Is "source" the same as a "host"?
Or how can I create tables?

Source and host are not the same. Source is the file containing the event (data) whereas host is the computer containing the source. You might want to check out the Splunk Tutorial (http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAH9U).
Splunk doesn't have "tables". It is not a database. Data is stored in indexes. Each entry in an index is an 'event'. Events typically contain a number of 'fields'. What constitutes a field depends on the type of event.
To create an index, go to Settings->Indexes and click the New Index button (you must be an admin to do this). Once you've created an index, you can then add data to it by selecting Settings->Add Data.
