Executing SQL query on multiple databases

Answer 1

this is the normal way of doing this :

suppose you want to do a select on database DBOther than it would be :

select * from DBOther..TableName

Also check if the table or view is on the dbo schema, if not you should add the schema also : Please notice I use only one dot now after the database name

select * from DBOther.dbo.ViewName

If any of the databases is on another server on another machine, than make sure the Database is in the Linked Server.
Then you can access the table or view on that database via:

SELECT * FROM [AnotherServerName].[DB].[dbo].[Table]

Here is another way that does not requires typing the database name :

use DB1
go

select * from table1
go

use DB2
go

select * from table1
go

Note that this will only work if the tables and fields are exact the same on each database
