I want to run a SELECT
statement on only some specific databases. The list of databases is returned by this query:
DECLARE @OneWeekAgo DATETIME
SELECT @OneWeekAgo = DATEADD(week,-1,GETDATE())
select distinct DB_NAME(database_id) DatabaseName
into #temp
from sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats
where DB_NAME(database_id) like 'TTT[_][a-z]%'
and DB_NAME(database_id) not like '%test%'
and last_user_update > @OneWeekAgo
Now on all of these databases returned, I want to run a simple query:
SELECT *
FROM TTT_Clients
WHERE country like 'SWEDEN'
How do I do that? I get errors in the "IN (SELECT DISTINCT...)" line using something like this:
exec sp_msforeachdb ' use [?] IF ''?'' in (select distinct DB_NAME(database_id) DatabaseName
from sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats
where DB_NAME(database_id) like ''TTT[_][a-z]%''
and DB_NAME(database_id) not like ''%test%'')
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM TTT_Clients WHERE country like ''SWEDEN''
END
You didn't specify the error, and I don't know this for sure, but I'm guessing that sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats
returns the same information regardless of database you are using (server wide view).
I think you want something like this...
exec sp_msforeachdb ' use [?];
IF ('[?]' NOT LIKE ''%test%'' AND EXISTS(SELECT * FROM sys.tables WHERE name LIKE ''TTT[_][a-z]%''))
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM TTT_Clients WHERE country like ''SWEDEN''
END
'
Re-using your filters, I don't know if they are correct or not. Basically we are checking if the table in question exists in the database. Since you are only selecting from TTT_Clients
I would suggest just filtering WHERE name = ''TTT_Clients''
rather than that regex that just matches it.
