Yes. When you specify the table name as owner.tablename in your SP, if you don't specify the database, it assumes the current one. If it isn't supposed to be the current one, you need to specify it using the database.owner.tablename syntax. Because a variable can't be used, you have to dynaically build the SQL string and then execute it.
