SQL Server 2000 Questions


Accessing another database using a variable
I have a select like this: SELECT a.part_id, a.descript, b.location from PART_MASTER a, anotherdatabase.INVENTORY b where a.part_id = b.part_id Is it possible to use a @variable to identify the other database, rather than hard coding it? (I’ve tried @db2.INVENTORY b) but SQL SERVER 2000 doesn’t like that.
