Scenario: How to create a view in all SQL Server Databases
You are working as SQL Server DBA or SQL Server developer and you need to create a view with same definition in multiple databases of all databases on SQL Server Instance. You can use below script to create view in multiple databases. I used cursor to loop through the list of databases. You can always filter (choose) the databases in select * from sys.databases query to create view in required databases.
--Provide the DDL Statment that you would like to run for Create View in Each Databsae in SQL Server
DECLARE @DDL VARCHAR(MAX)
SET @DDL=
'Create View dbo.MyTestView
AS
Select * from dbo.MyNewTableName'
DECLARE @DatabaseName ASVARCHAR(500)
--DECLARE CURSOR
DECLARE CUR CURSOR
FOR
--Choose the DBs on which you would like to run the script
SELECT NAME
FROM sys.databases
WHERE database_id > 4
--OPEN CURSOR
OPEN CUR
--NEXT NEXT RECORD
FETCHNEXT
FROM CUR
INTO @DatabaseName
WHILE@@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
DECLARE @DBName AS NVARCHAR(128);
SET @DBName = QUOTENAME(N'' + @DatabaseName + '');
--USE Dynamic SQL To Change DB name and run DDL statement to create View
EXEC (
N'USE ' + @DBName + N'; EXEC('''+@DDL+''');'
);
FETCHNEXT
FROM CUR
INTO @DatabaseName
END
CLOSE CUR
DEALLOCATE CUR
