I have multiple databases.and they all have the same structure (same table,same fields) but different name like in:
database 1 the customer table name is database1_name Customer
and database 2 the customer table is database2_name Customer

but the common thing between them is that the table have the same id =18.
I want to build a datawarehouse that can be adequat to both database separately.and for that, I need to work with table id not table name.
so my question is : How can find table id from a database in sql server ?

Solution 2

Read about: OBJECT_ID[^] and OBJECT_NAME[^]

Example:

SQL

DECLARE @dbid INT
DECLARE @tbid INT

SET @dbid = DB_ID(N'A_TEST')
SET @tbid = OBJECT_ID(N'Table_1', N'U')

SELECT @dbid AS [DatabaseID], DB_NAME(@dbid) AS [DatabaseName],@tbid AS [TableID], OBJECT_NAME(@tbid) AS [TableName]
