USE [DatabaseA]
GO
CREATE DATABASE AUDIT SPECIFICATION [DatabaseAuditSpecification-DatabaseA]
FOR SERVER AUDIT [ServerAuditName]
ADD (INSERT ON DATABASE::[DatabaseA] BY [dbo]),
ADD (SELECT ON DATABASE::[DatabaseA] BY [dbo]),
ADD (DELETE ON DATABASE::[DatabaseA] BY [dbo])
WITH (STATE = OFF)
GO

I have 100+ databases and would like to generate a script which I can execute in one go instead of running this a 100 times by changing database names in the script every time I create a database audit specification for each database. Advise is appreciated?

How about

/* generate DDL */
exec sp_msforeachdb '
Select ''
USE [?]
GO
CREATE DATABASE AUDIT SPECIFICATION [DatabaseAuditSpecification-DatabaseA]
FOR SERVER AUDIT [ServerAuditName]
ADD (INSERT ON DATABASE::[?] BY [dbo]),
ADD (SELECT ON DATABASE::[?] BY [dbo]),
ADD (DELETE ON DATABASE::[?] BY [dbo])
WITH (STATE = OFF)
GO
''

Thanks @Johan.

I settled with this...

CREATE TABLE #Results (
     abc VARCHAR(MAX)
 )
INSERT INTO #Results
exec sp_msforeachdb '
Select ''
USE [?]
GO
CREATE DATABASE AUDIT SPECIFICATION [DatabaseAuditSpecification ?]
FOR SERVER AUDIT [ServerAuditName]
ADD (SELECT ON DATABASE::[?] BY [dbo]),
ADD (INSERT ON DATABASE::[?] BY [dbo]),
ADD (DELETE ON DATABASE::[?] BY [dbo])
WITH (STATE = OFF)
GO
''
'
select * from #Results

I also have the same case, thanks for this solution!

Uh-huh... Sounds like a precursor to spam.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
