I'm working on a script to convert data from one software package
to another. Greatly simplified, it looks something like
create procedure import_widget as
begin
insert into our_widget (foo, bar)
select baz, quux from their_db.dbo.their_widget
end
go
The problem is that the name of the source database varies from
one system to another, so I want to pass the database name as a
parameter. I think I could do the following, but is there a
better way to go about it?
create procedure import_widget (@db_name sysname) as
begin
exec 'create view their_widget as select * from '
+ @db_name + '.dbo.their_widget'
insert into our_widget (foo, bar)
select baz, quux from their_widget
drop view their_widget
end
go
