Cretae a view in one DB with a stored procedure from another DB

Hi,

Ik created an application with visuals basic.NET. This has a
connection string to one database, let's say 'A'. In this database a
stored procedure is called which should execute a string (which is
passed by the) VB tool. This string is a CREATE VIEW statement en this
should be executed in another database let's say 'B'.

I tried this in Transact - SQL

EXEC('USE B;' + Query)

An error occurs : CREATE VIEW should be the first in a batched
statement.

Could anyone help me with this one?

You need a GO right before the CREATE VIEW statement, and this won't work in
dynamic SQL. In any case, this isn't really a good way to create a database
object - it would probably be a lot easier for your client application to
connect directly to database B. Or if you really want to do it from SQL,
then why not create the stored procedure in database B and call it from
database A?

It might help if you can explain what you're trying to achieve, and someone
may be able to suggest a better solution, as creating objects dynamically
from a user application can create significant problems with security and
maintenance. But since you didn't say what your goal is, you may have a good
reason for doing this.
