Question: How to set the current database in MS SQL Server?

Answer: Once you are connected to the SQL Server, you should select a database to work with and set it as the current database using the "USE" statement with this syntax:

USE database_name

The following tutorial example shows you how to set "YourDataBaseName" as the current database, and create a table in "YourDataBaseName":

USE YourDataBaseName
GO
Changed database context to 'YourDataBaseName'.

CREATE TABLE Links (Name NVARCHAR(32))
GO

SELECT name, type_desc, create_date FROM sys.tables
GO
name type_desc create_date
Links USER_TABLE 2007-05-19 23:05:43.700
