Hi!

You can only create the connection on the fly in the database available for exclusive use. Usually it is a separate startup program that creates the database locally, get user name and password (or even other properties), then create the connection in database, then create all views based on that connection.

If you just want to change the database name on the SQl Server, you can just send a command to SQL Server using SQLExec:

SQLExec(nConnectHandle,"USE MyDatabase")

This command will change current database for SQl Server connection session. You can get the nConnectHandle value from the CursorGetProp('ConnectHandle') function for some opened remote view. However, the view should be based on the query with direct specifying of the database.table, however, I guess it is much better to make a view using "SELECT 123 as somefiled"; you can create it using CREATE SQL VIEW command only. Having connect handle from such database-independent view, you can change the current database, then use all other views.

HTH.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
