[AccessD] [dba-SQLServer] Using view or sp from other Db on same Instance of Server

It feels like a security issue.

At my office I am the owner of all the databases.  I have many (hundreds) of databases and I have 
always used the db.dbo.table.view addressing to create views, dynamic SQL etc. most of which 
references other databases.  I have a handful of (a dozen) databases which are what I call "data" 
databases, which hold name / address lists.  In the past I used SPs heavily which operated on data 
from each other.

I also use C# to execute code updating or appending records from one database to another.  the key 
to me is the dbname.dbo. syntax, as long as I have that the queries work fine.  Again though, all of 
the databases are owned by the same owner so rights are not an issue.
