I hope ur question is like this

You have 2 database DB1 and DB2. You want to select Tab2 in DB2 while you are executing the query in DB1.

The query would be like this

Select *
From DB2.dbo.Tab2


the general syntax would be

Select <column1>,<column2>.......
from <database_name>.dbo.<table_name>
