[dba-SQLServer] Calling Views From anotherDatabasebutapplyingthem to THIS database

I think that you are correct, but it saddens me. I can think of
situations where the same query would be required in several different
databases, but I don't want to have to visit every such databse to
update the query when an update is required. I want to do it once and
move on.

There's got to be a way around this! Maybe OpenQuery? I'm off on another
of my unprofitable mining expeditions :)

The object you are calling from the other database will always
run/affect the other database -- never the database you are in.  You
cannot apply them to your current database unless you import them into
the current database (thereby changing their database reference).
