How To CREATE PROCEDURE In Another DATABASE?

Hi,

I need to write a script, which should run in a particular database (which name is not know, but I get it at runtime). It should add another database, which should be the same name with some suffix (i.e. "_Log"). And then it should create some tables and stored procedures there. The biggest problem is creating stored procedure, because CREATE PROCEDURE sentence doesn't allow to specify the database name, and it has to be the first statement in a batch (so USE doesn't help). I tried something like:




Code Block
DECLARE @logDBName nvarchar(100)
SET @logDBName = DB_NAME() + '_Log'
BEGIN TRY
EXEC ('CREATE DATABASE ' + @logDBName)
EXEC ('
CREATE TABLE [' + @logDBName + ']..Some_Log
(
id int IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL,
timestamp datetime DEFAULT(GETDATE()) NOT NULL,
someText ntext NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT PK_Some_Log
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (id)
)')
EXEC ('
CREATE PROCEDURE Add_To_Log
@someText ntext
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
INSERT INTO Some_Log(timestamp, someText) VALUES (GETDATE(), @someText)
END
')
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
END CATCH




Of course this sample creates the stored procedure in the current database, and not in the newly created one. As I mentioned, if I add USE to the last EXEC, it doesn't work, because 'CREATE PROCEDURE must be first batch statement', and I can't write '[Some_Log]..Add_To_Log', because CREATE PROCEDURE syntax doesn't allow to specify the database name.
P.S.: I should also be able to alter the tables and procedures int he future from the CURRENT database, again by using

SET @logDBName = DB_NAME() + '_Log'

Thank you
