Hi everybody,

I've five instances of SQL Server 2000 with the SAME database with a
DIFFERENT owner in each server. I, as the administrator, have a lot of
queries that I have to execute in some or all servers. The problem is
that I have to connect to all servers with MY user, not each of the db
owners...

So I have queries this way:

select * from mike.table1 t1 join mike.table2 t2 on...

And when I connect to another server I have to change mike for jeremy
in all the SQLs...

And when I connect to another server I have to change jeremy for nina
in all the SQLs...

I know that there was an old, v7, deprecated way to change the
"schema", something like

change current user to kimberly
go
select * from table1 t1 join table2 t2 on...

This way, I'll change ONLY once the connected user. I could even do at
the beginning of the script an IF, to change the connected user
depending on @@SERVERNAME !!!

Can someone remember this instruction???

Thanks in advance for your help !!!
