copied!<p>Thanks for the info, Mladen, that tip is good to know :)</p> <p>But while that helps me call a function residing in master from in the current database context "ContextCurrent", what I really want is to be able to call the scalar-valued function from the context of the source database "ContextSource".</p> <p>While in general, I have my reservations against dynamic sql, I ended up using it here as follows.</p> <p><code> <br/>DECLARE @sourceDbName nvarchar(128) <br/>SET     @sourceDbName = N'sbaportia1' <br/> <br/>DECLARE @strQuery nvarchar(max) <br/>DECLARE @parmDefn nvarchar(max) <br/>DECLARE @DbtsCapture varbinary(8) <br/>SET    @strQuery = <br/>    ' <br/>           N' ' + N'USE' + N' ' + @sourceDbName + N' ' <br/>         + N' ' + N'SELECT @dbtsCapture = min_active_rowversion()' <br/>    ' <br/> <br/>SET @parmDefn = <br/>    N' <br/>         @dbName varchar(128), <br/>         @dbtsCapture varbinary(8) OUTPUT <br/>    ' <br/> <br/>EXEC sp_executesql  @strQuery <br/>                    ,@parmDefn <br/>                    ,@dbName = 'autobahn' <br/>                    ,@dbtsCapture = @dbtsCapture OUTPUT <br/> <br/>SELECT @dbtsCapture </code></p> <p>Furthermore, since sp_executesql runs in a separate thread, the database context within the script below will be automatically be the same upon the exit of sp_executesql as upon the entry of sp_executesql. (I learned waaayy too much about sp_executesql in the early 2000's.)</p>
