Hello all,
we have about 100 + views in our database.
The views references are having the Hardcoded DatabaseName.
I have to reference those views to reference the Different DatabaseName.Is there any best practice to modify the view references?
Currently I am manually modifying the database name and recreating the views.

Thanks!
Raju

I'd probably script out all the view definitions to a file then do a global search and replace on the database name and apply the script to the new database.

"The views references are having the Hardcoded DatabaseName."
Is the hardcoded databasename same as the database where the view is residing ? If so, just remove the database name reference from the view and you will not have this problem in the future. If not, you have no choice but do as what TG suggested.
