Is there any way to access a linked server without using four-part naming?
My problem is that I am trying to find a way to connect to an access database on a 64 bit system (there is no 64 Jet OleDb provider) and I have to run in a 64 bit process so no WoW solutions will work for me .
I am looking into trying to use a Sql Linked server but am trying to find a workaround without having to re-write all our queries to use four-part naming.
Is there someway to configure a connectionstring to default to executing against a linked server??
I need to invoke a UDF on a linked server. Is this possible?
eg: I need to execute the following query from Server1
select * from Server2.Database.owner.fnGetTree() AS Server2Tree inner join Database.owner.fnGetTree() AS Server1Tree on Server1Tree.NodeId = Server2Tree.NodeId
I created a linked Excel server that is stored in a SQL2000 database.
I can run the following from the SQL server with no problem.
Select * From CSCNEDI...EDI$
When I try and run the select from my WinXP computer I get the following from both SQL2000 Query Analyzer or SQL2005 Management Studio (these are configured for client access)
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Unspecified error]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.
I am trying to access the View through linked server connection .The linked server connection is between two sql server 2005.
The problem is I am not able to access 2 columns of nvarchar datatype of length 255, from the view through select statement.
I do a SELECT col1,col2 from VIEW,then getting the following error .
Cannot get the data of the row from the OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SRVXPR". Could not convert the data value due to reasons other than sign mismatch or overflow.
Then I tried with
Select cast(Col1 as nvarchar) ,
cast(col2 as nvarchar) from VIEW,
I am able to get the values.
The collation type is same for all underlying tables and also for the servers.
Is there any restrictions in handling nvarchar data thru linked server/ anyother size limitation.
I don't want to use cast as this will lead to performance problem.
I’m having the fallowing error when I try to open/access a linked server Error: Error 7302: Could not create an instance of OLE DB provider 'MSOLAP.2'. OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: CoCreate of DSO for MSOLAP.2 returned 0x80004005].
I have already tried to create the server using SEM and also with SQL syntax in ISQLW. Code: EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server='LINKED_OLAP', @srvproduct='', @provider='MSOLAP.2', @datasrc='MyServerName.MyDomain’, @catalog='MyDataBase'
I’m allowed to create the linked server but I can’t use it.
I'm trying to extract all the users and their membership to groups, and the membership of groups to groups from active directory though a link to server.
I can get the users. I can get the groups.... individually.
I can't get the info of what user is a member of or who are members of a group.
Anyone know how to do this or am I going to have to right a vb app? (Anyone already got the code...)
I want to load this data into tables for reporting in my Data Warehouse.
Hi I have created a linked server from SQL Server 2005 (SP 1) to SQL Service 2000 (SP 4) with a sql server login that is available on both servers but with different passwords and permissions.
I am getting the following error while accessing the linked server in management studio based on the scenario given below ;
------ Error Message Starts OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(SQL Server 2000 instance name)" returned message "Communication link failure". Msg 10054, Level 16, State 1, Line 0 TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 0 Login failed for user 'abc'. ------ Error Message Ends
Consider login name is abc. Now this login abc has sysadmin rights on sql server 2005. The same login abc has only db_datareader rights on sql server 2000 on just one database and is not associated with any fixed server role.
I have configured the linked server using the following options; 1. I have tried impersonating login from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 . 2. I have also tried specifying remote login / password option.
Anyone having any idea, would be of great help. Regards, Salman Shehbaz.

I am using Linked Server in SQL Server 2008R2 connecting to a couple of Linked Servers.
I was able to connect Linked Servers, but I cannot point to a specific database in a Linked Server, also, I cannot rename Linked Server's name.
How to point the linked server to a specific database? How to rename the Linked Server?
The following is the code that I am using right now:
USE [master] GO EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver    @server = N'Machine123Instance456',    @srvproduct=N'SQL Server' ; GO EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'Machine123Instance456', 'false', NULL, 'username', 'password' Â
If my site is hosted with an external company web host can I use ASP.NET pages to connect to a MS SQL DB that is on my company's internal server if I had MS SQL installed on it?
My company's server is always on and always connected to the internet.
I have access to my company's server if I need to set anything up on it for this to happen.
There will not be any kind of overload as the site is not accessed constantly.
Also, would this cause any kind of security leak? If so how would I go about plugging this hole?
I'm using OLEDB in my ASP code to connect to the SQL database. When I execute the page I got an error saying "438, Microsoft VBScript runtime error, Object doesn't support this property or method" Anybody knows what this is in reference to. I tested the same site in another server where IIS and SQL are in the same box and it's working fine.
I need to write a VB app (VB6) to access and manipulate data within a MS SQL Sever 2000 database. I have experience doing this with MS Access. Is it much different/more difficult to do this with SQL Server?
Greetings. I am curently having problems with authorizations while attempting to connect to SQL Server with an Asp.NET web application. I will try to explain my problem as clearly as possible.
I am developing an Asp.NET web application with Visual Studio to connect and view a database on a remote SQL Server. In my Web.config file, I have added the line
<identity impersonate = "true"/>
In my IIS security options, I have disabled the annonymous authentication and enabled the Windows mode authentication instead. When accessing the database from my computer, by compiling and debugging my web application in Visual Studio, everything works wonder. When I try to use the web application from a remote computer using the IP address or from my own computer using localhost in the URL, it asks me for my Windows username and password, which I provide, and then refuses any further access, saying I don't have permission to even connect to the server.
How can I go around this and allow my users to connect to the server from a remote computer? My machine is running Windows XP SP2 and the server is running Windows Server 2003.
Thank you in advance for any help you may provide,
I am developing a windows application that needs to communicate with a remote SQL server 2005 database. Server allows remote connections and MSDTC service also running. Do I need to run MSDTC service on the client machine where I use desktop application ? any ideas ? It's throwing some error like An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
But my SQL Server allows remote connection, and I am able to do a select statement. But when I insert/update anything, it's throwing this error. I guess some problem with MSDCT. Anybody have any idea ?
Hi everyone, First of all I'd like to say I'm new to the forums, and in fact new to ASP.net. I've had a couple of applications running in VB.net for the last year or so that I now am looking to move on and into ASP.net (main reason is to do with implementation to remote sites in foreign countries). I'm currently following through the "Working with data and ASP.net 2.0" walkthrough on this site, which I must say has been a great help. I'll start with the background stuff first I have my main database on an SQL server. I also have 2 other databases on there - Customer and Employee. The reason for these are that they are shared amongst my VB applications and I kept them as seperate databases so that one database is all that needs to be administered and maintained, and these changes are then seen on both apps (takes away redundant data as well). In my main database, main table, is a field called CustomerID. This value relates to the CustomerID in the Customer table. In my VB app all I do is have the user select a customer name, and then the customer ID value is copied to the CustomerID field of my main table when inserting / updating a row. This is simply accomplished with 2 SQL connections and 2 dataAdapters. I also use 2 dataSets - one for Customer, one for WorkRequests (the main database)... I use ComponentOne stuff so that my grid will show the CustomerName instead of the CustomerID etc, and the same applies when I use my Employee database - I run many dataAdapters to this for things such as Account Manager, Technologist, Creator, UpdatedBy etc etc. Now, I'm new to VS 2005 - my apps were created in VS 2003 and .net 1.1. Can I easily re-create my apps in ASP.net? My primary goal at the moment is to make sure I can load a row, and display the "lookup" values instead of the "integer" value. As my tables are in seperate databases, I would like to know the best way of accomplishing this, if it is of course possible. Help and advice much appriciated. Kind Regards, Luke
Hi Everyone, I just started using ASP.NET and I cannot figure out how to use a connection string to connect to a SQL Server database using ASP.NET. I want to use Windows Authentication to bring up a database called upsizedCandidate on a server called SQLSERVER and display a table within that database through internet explorer. I'm not sure if I should be using OLE DB or ODBC. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance!
I am currently running a web server with Windows 2000 Server installed. It is a Pentium II 400 MHz, and also acts as the router on our network. I am worried that installing MSDE on this same server might drain the server resources, so I installed MSDE on one of the computers in our internal network. How do I set up my connection string to access the database on another machine in the same network?
Currently I use: Server="AnotherComputer";TrustedConnection="True";Database="MyDatabase"
When I use that, it tells me that the server can't be found. All computers behind the router have static IP addresses, but even when I type the IP address it still can't find the server. Any suggestions?
I have installed SQL Server on my laptop (full version), but can only access it while on the network. If I disconnect from the network, open Enterprise Manager, and click on my connection, I get the error "sql server does not exist or access denied". Why can't EM find my own machine? I even logged onto my own computer as a local user, instead of the network domain, and still recieved the error. Can someone tell me where I can edit (maybe my registration properties), so that I can run SQL server, while offline.
How can I connect to SQL server on intranet using VB.NET?? I am unable to do that using system DSN. can anyone tell how to do that either through DSN or anyother way.
I need your advise on how I could access table from another server.
Let me explain what I am doing. Currently, I have 2 servers running parallel to one another other each loading from the same set of data into its own database in the night.
I would like to write a stored procedure to report the number of records from selected tables from the 2 servers to see if they match in records loaded. Thereafter, email me the results (I have already settle the sending of email part).
Have picked up some tips in this forum to come up with the below statements and it works fine for me: -
use AABBCC (database name) select Server='Server 009', name, rows, SystemDate=getdate() from sysindexes where name in ('invoice_line', 'invoice_line_import', 'sales_order_line', 'sales_delivery_line','Cust_dely_reliabity','sales _order_proc_time','AU1016','NZ_Data') order by name
Result: - Server Table Name Rows
Server 002AU1016 0 Server 002Cust_Dely_Reliabity 5017342 Server 002invoice_line 4397800 Server 002invoice_line_import 12120 Server 002NZ_Data 649745 Server 002Sales_Delivery_Line 5323875 Server 002Sales_Order_Line 5356989 Server 002Sales_order_proc_time 3651362
Instead of running the above scipt or stored procedure from 2 servers and received 2 email (one from server 002 & one from server 009), I would like to access the other server within the same stored procedure.
I have used sp_addlinkedserver (may not be the correct method) and <servername>.<databasename>.dbo.sysindexes (doesn't work)
Please help. Thanks a million.
The desired result could be:
Server 002 ..... Server 002 ..... . .
Server 009 ..... (result from the 2nd server) Server 009 ..... . .
I have an application written in classic ASP which uses Windows Authentication in SQL Server.
This seems to work fine, except when we try to write to the database in Session_OnEnd in Global.ASA.
We don’t get an error and although logging is enabled in SQL Server, no failed logins are reported. Nevertheless, the database is not updated.
I’ve tried adding the IWAM_Servername user to SQL Server, but that hasn’t made any difference.
Has anyone any thoughts on how to rectify this? At the moment, both SQL Server and IIS are running on the same PC, but we need to find a solution when they are on different PCs as well.
