Hello.

I want to make a server job, that every day copy values from one table to other. I wrote a script, but I want to use it in two databases on one server. Do I need to create the other job or can used only one with different steps (where only new will be database name) ? I want to use it in DB1 and DB2.
This is my script, can you tell me that is correct?
Thanks!

EXEC msdb..sp_add_job
   @job_name='myJob',
   @enabled=1,
   @description='Test'
GO

EXEC msdb..sp_add_jobstep
   @job_name='myJob',
   @step_name='jobStepChangeFuturedAddress',
   @subsystem='TSQL',
   @command='

UPDATE Users SET Address = t1.Address,City = t1.City
FROM
(SELECT Address,City
FROM Address 
where DATEDIFF(dd,0, EffectiveDate) = DATEDIFF(dd,0, GETDATE())) t1
WHERE ID = t1.UserID


   ',
   @database_name='DB1' 
GO

EXEC msdb..sp_add_jobschedule
   @job_name='myJob',
   @name = 'jobScheduleMyJob',
   @freq_type=4,
   @freq_interval=1,
   @active_start_time='000000'
GO

EXEC msdb..sp_add_jobserver
   @job_name='myJob'
   @server_name='MyServerName'
GO

even then you should have two steps. the step command being exactly same but databases being different

If I understand correctly, the only thing I should add is


EXEC msdb..sp_add_jobstep
   @job_name='myJob',
   @step_name='jobStepChangeFuturedAddress',
   @subsystem='TSQL',
   @command='

UPDATE Users SET Address = t1.Address,City = t1.City
FROM
(SELECT Address,City
FROM Address 
where DATEDIFF(dd,0, EffectiveDate) = DATEDIFF(dd,0, GETDATE())) t1
WHERE ID = t1.UserID


   ',
   @database_name='DB2' 
GO

right?

Thank you a lot!
I have one more question - If I execute all from my first post (now, I want to run this job only for first database) and after few days I want to start this job to my second Database, I only need to execute the jobstop from my previous post, right?
