Answer 1

You should look into using synonyms:

-- Create a synonym for the Product table in AdventureWorks2008R2. CREATE SYNONYM MyProduct FOR AdventureWorks2008R2.Production.Product; GO

-- Query the Product table by using the synonym. USE tempdb; GO SELECT ProductID, Name FROM MyProduct WHERE ProductID < 5; GO
