Good day

I want to execute a short procedure from a another database.

The short procedure that I want to execute is in the CallAgain database. The short procedures name is: TSH_TerminalConfigUpdate.

I have written the following code, but I get an error message.

CREATE PROCEDURE SELTermConfigUpdate
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
USE [CallAgain]
Exec dbo.TSH_TerminalConfigUpdate

END
GO

-Msg 154, Level 15, State 1, Procedure SELTermConfigUpdate, Line 14
a USE database statement is not allowed in a procedure, function or trigger.

How do I execute a stored Procedure from another database?

Try with this

SQL

CREATE PROCEDURE SELTermConfigUpdate
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
USE [CallAgain]
Exec [DATABASE NAME]..TSH_TerminalConfigUpdate

END
GO

* [DATABASE NAME] = database name will be where the sp TSH_TerminalConfigUpdate is written.

Solution 2

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SELTermConfigUpdate]
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
Exec CallAgain.dbo.TSH_TerminalConfigUpdate

--CallAgain is the other database name

-- TSH_TerminalConfigUpdate is the short procedures name
