if you would like to select records from a different database on the same server the syntax is

select ....

from [databasename].[owner].[table or view name]

if you would like to select records from a database on a different server first you will need to create a linked server entry, then the syntax is

select ....

from [servername].[databasename].[owner].[table or view name]
