Changing DB with a script using a variable.

I am trying to write a TSQL Script for maintenance that willl read the
databases from sysdatabases and change to each database inturn to perform
some maintenance tasks.
Problem is I can't get SQL to change to the next database.
Tried Exec('Use' +@.dbname) and it doesnt error out, but it also doesn't
change the database.
I know there has to be a way... any ideas?
Has to be available in TSQL as this will become a Stored Procedure when
finished.

You can create your maintenance task as a SP, and then you can execute the
following
EXEC dbo.sp_MSforeachdb @.command1 = "use ? exec <your spname>" But this one
executes on the system dbs also.
The other way is to include the following in your T-SQL:
'USE [' + @.dbname + ']' + char(13) +'Go'
This should work i believe..I used it long time somewhere...
thks,
