I'm trying to create a stored procedure on my master database that I can query other databases. The reason behind putting it on the master db is so I will have one place to modify the stored procedure instead of potentially a hundred different databases. I am trying to create a stored procedure like the one below, but it seems to not like it and I get the error below. Any suggestions are appreciated.


DECLARE @uName AS nvarchar(30), @dbName as nvarchar(5)
SET @uName='TU'
SET @dbName = '00000'
DELETE FROM [DASHDB].[dbo].users WHERE Username=@uName
EXECUTE('USE ['+@dbName+']')
DELETE FROM DashboardBranches WHERE Username=@uName
DELETE FROM MyDashboardSettings WHERE Username=@uName
DELETE FROM MyFavorites WHERE Username=@uName
DELETE FROM MyModules WHERE Username=@uName
DELETE FROM MyStocks WHERE Username=@uName
DELETE FROM BoardPackage WHERE PackageID IN (SELECT ID FROM BPackages WHERE Username=@uName)
DELETE FROM BPackages WHERE Username=@uName

ERROR:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 6
Invalid object name 'DashboardBranches'.

Thanks,
Josh

should look at sp_executesql in BOL.

else can make the whole script dynamic sql (cant just say use db) like u r trying.

if you are keeping 100 copies of same data in synch, i would look at transactional replication...

or can even replicate sp, no dynamic sql at all in it
