sql - How to reference another Database in a generic manner -


we have live , demo systems, each using of pair of databases. 1 database reports other.

quite demo site has reference this

select  columns    otherdatabase_demo.dbo.tablename

so live version say:

...from    otherdatabase.dbo.tablename

when comes publsihing compare stored procedures between live , demo (using dbforge schema compare in case) every differing reference highlighted, , creates lot of noise.

is there way abstract these references can make distinction in 1 single location?

yes, use synonym. in 1 database:

create synonym dbo.mytablename otherdatabase_demo.dbo.tablename;

and in live version:

create synonym dbo.mytablename otherdatabase.dbo.tablename;

now script can say...

select  columns    dbo.mytablename

...in both databases, allowing procedures identical.

your diff scripts may pick different definitions synonyms, can ignore (either tool or consciously).

we've asked ability alias database, don't understand how useful be:

Java, Hibernate, MySQL - store UTC date-time -

i saw here on few related questions (like this one , of course, this one )... essentially, want store date-time utc, , let application user choose time zone wants display date-time in. since seems date-time fields affected underlying jdbc driver, wonder if acceptable way go storing utc date-time: set both mysql , application server machine utc time zone (no need separate) both mysql , jvm should pick underlying system time settings (if not instructed otherwise) use datetime table columns on mysql side use java.util.date corresponding mapping on hibernate side (i guess java.sql.timestamp used too) let application worry interpreting date-time fields - i.e. let user choose preferred time zone is ok? edit clarify - here meant refer timestamps created strictly on server (e.g.date-time of record creation). application server instantiates date objects (new date() equals current date-time on server, , time zone agnostic). if client user wants supply date searching/filte...
