    Usually you refer to the database server as "localhost"
    If you want to point to another server you may need to get the server name from your hosting company and you may need to let them know that you are accessing it from sites on another server.

    If you are just accessing a different database on the same server you should just need to update the config/setting file with the new database name, username and password and they will seamlessly change over to the new datasource.

    If you have trouble reaching the database from another server, then it is possible that you need to allow the other server to connect, see the database settings, you might have a "hosts" list of IPs/domains that are allowed to connect to the database.

    I'm not sure if I got this right, so you want to change the tables inside one database and to affect every other database ? In this case it's more complicated, you will have to use sql and php to do those changes.
