Actually something more like this is probably a little better if you're altering the current database:

ALTER DATABASE CURRENT SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 90

Answer 3

You need to use something like

declare @dbname varchar(100)
set @dbname=quotename(db_name())
exec('alter database '+@dbname+' ...');

or.. even simpler

set @sql='alter database '+quotename(db_name())+' ...';
exec(@sql)
