Dynamic SQL Cursor
I have a stored procedure which runs a cursor for updating tables. The procedure may execute against different servers with the same database structure depending on the configuration, my problem is supplying a dynamic server name. See below.
declare myCursor cursor for select a.id, b.id from tableA as a join "myServer".db.dbo.tableB as b on b.id = a.id
declare @server varchar(50)
declare myCursor cursor for select a.id, b.id from tableA as a join @server.db.dbo.tableB as b on b.id = a.id
