Hi All

We have 8 databaes and one application. We have to fetch details from or insert to database which is selected in a dropdownlist.
We have the below two options to connect:
1. Always connect to singale database and then use selected DBNAME.DBO.TableName to fetch the data
2. Directly connect to the particular selected database snd fetch the records.

Could anyone suggest which is the correct way of connecting to a database?

hi,
First one is best one. if u go with second one, u may have use first option. For an example, you need get record set from db1 & db2, you have to use again first option only. I will suggest First one.
