Hello,

I have a peculiar requirement.. or so I think. I need to work with two different databases (let's say master and NorthWind) within a stored procedure saved on, say again.. Northwind.

When I tried putting "use master" and "use Northwind" within the stored procedure, I received an error telling me that this cannot be done within stored procs/triggers.

Is there anyway I can workaround this to accomplish my task? Please help...

Dylan

Instead of

Select columns from table

try to use
