| Hi,I am fairly new to SQL and am trying to create a stored procedure which dynamically generates a data dictionary for any database. Currently I have a stored procedure which given tablename and schema name as parameters generates the dictionary for that database. But I want to give the database name as parameter so that the dictionary is generated for any database. Is it even possible to do this? Please let me know. |

its possible. you just need to reference dbname in table name and use dynamic sqlie as EXEC('select * FROM ' + @dbname + '.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES')------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/ |

I wrote a shareware app that does this, see the link in my sig. works for many other DBMS besides MSSQL.
