changing servers dynamically via TSQL

I know you can easily change databases, as in Use "dbname". Can one
also easily change database servers without having to manually select
the server name from the dropdown?
Thanks a million!Not at the TSQL level. TSQL is executed by the database server, so you are a
lready connected to the
database server when your TSQL code is executed. So this would have to be do
ne by the client app.
SQL Server 2005 has a successor to OSQL.EXE named SQLCMD.EXE, and I believe
that this tool has some
such functionality.

switch server connection.
:Connect server_name[\instance_name] [-l timeout] [-U user_name
[-P
password]] ,
Connects to an instance of SQL Server. Also closes the current connection.
