Hi,
I am testing the SQL Select with a name of the database not current.
This case works:
use [FirstSQLDatabase]
go
select * from SecondSQLDatabase..mytable where 1=1
Now I want to put the 'SecondSQLDatabase' into a variable. Here is how I do it:
use [FirstSQLDatabase]
go
declare @cSecondDb as Varchar(100)
set @cSecondDb = 'SecondSQLDatabase'
select * from @cSecondDb..mytable where 1=1
The above produces syntax error.
What am I missing?
TIA
