Question

I have about 100 sites built in a cms, each with its own database. Each database has the same tables.

My stored procedure needs to select all of the pages in a database given a sitename.

Below I am trying to pass the database name as a parameter, but it doesn’t seem to work.

... @site nvarchar(250)  AS  SELECT * FROM @site..cmsDocument WHERE published = 1 

Is there some other way to do this?

Answer 1

SELECT @dbname = quotename(dbname) SELECT @sql = ' SELECT ... FROM ' + @dbname + '.dbo.tablename WHERE ...' EXEC sp_executesql @sql, @params, ...
