st: changeing the database with odbc without using dialog box

Is there a way to tell Stata which odbc database to use without going
through the dialog prompt? I am loading some data with:
odbc load, dsn("MIHQDB50") table(tabWeeklyStoreItemPricingAll) clear
This produces the error:
The ODBC driver reported the following diagnostics
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name
'tabWeeklyStoreItemPricingAll'.
SQLSTATE=42S02
r(682);
This is because the default is to use the database DataWarehouse. When
I use the dialog box to change to database to Orders, where the table
I want is located, everything works, but requires manual effort:
odbc load, dsn("MIHQDB50") table(tabWeeklyStoreItemPricingAll) dialog(prompt);
Is there a way to let Stata know which database I want to use?
