| I am attempting to get data out of two databases. The SQL 'USE' statement works in the query analyzer in switching databases. However, it does not work in a stored procedure or in a dynamic SQL statement from an ASP page. The ODBC error message is 'Changed database context'. Is there a secret to this? |

| Yes, it is the (rather well) documented three-part naming convention, and it goes like this:SELECT * FROM database.owner.tableSo if you want to select from database B while in database A:SELECT * FROM B..tableNameYou can leave the owner portion blank if the table is owned by dbo.See Books Online if you need more information.Edited by - robvolk on 08/12/2002 20:25:18 |
