    And if these databases happen to be on separate instances, then look up BOL for "linked servers".

    And, you might want to consider using the user name in the 3 part naming convention as part of best practices...

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
