Jonas Hilmersson writes "Hi!

I have a database, SUB, running on SQL 7 that is a subsystem to a datawarehouse database, DW, also on SQL 7. The SUB database accesses tables and stored procs in the DW database. The machines used run Windows NT 4 Server/SP5+ and SQL 7 SP1+, both uni and multiple processor.

Now to the question, is there a way to create an alias to the DW database if there are several of them, or if the name of the database perhaps change periodically? I thought that it might work with linked servers, but found that I got some troubles when using cursor accessing "remote" tables as they where executed on the linked server but the cursor was not.
