Update Data To A Different Database

1
Hi -

I am having a problem on MS SQL Server 2005. I have 2 databases: DB1 and DB2. I am writing a stored procedure in DB1 to update data in DB2. Looks like this:

......
USE [DB1]
(stored procedure located in DB1:)
......
UPDATE DB2.dbo.Names.LastName = 'junk'
WHERE DB2.dbo.Names.LastName is not null

I am NOT getting any errors but the table is NOT getting updated in DB2? What am I doing wrong?

First off, to be parsed, your query should look more like this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. UPDATE DB2.dbo.Names SET DB2.dbo.Names.LastName = 'junk' 
  2. WHERE DB2.dbo.Names.LastName is not null
  3.  
Check if this runs OK.
