I know this is an easy one for most of you but this is new territory for me.
I am trying to link a production application database to an existing SMS database.
Both of these databases are SQL 2000. I have sa access to both of them.
I have an accreditation application that deals with internal processes within our active directory network. We are using SMS database collections to provide the discovery for reporting of this application database and I want to compare the collection to the existing data between the 2 databases.
For simplicity I will define them both.
Application Database we will call €śA-Database€?
SMS Database we will call €śB-Database€?
I have gone into the A-Database and gone to linked Servers under the security node in enterprise manager. I created a new linked database and selected the SQL Server option in the general Tab.
In the Security Tab I selected the €śBe made using the security context€? and used €śsa€? for the Remote login and the CORRECT sa password for the With password option.
The server options tab remain the same with €?RPC, RPC Out, & Use Remote Collation€? selected.
It appears to connect but there is not any Table or Views showing up. What am I doing wrong here and what do I need to do to link these 2 database engines so I can move forward?
I have a HA Listener which is visible and can be connected to, it has a read only secondary on a different subnet so when connecting to it we use the applicationintent = readonly and multisubnetfailover = true.
Trying to connect it as a linked server is giving me problems. I tried putting the extra info into the provider string but keep getting the failure to initialise error. I am trying to link SQL2012 to a 2012 HA group but will also need to connect from a sql2008 server as well
I am working on a computer connected to a network. I am using SQL 2000/XP on my computer so I can manage other sql servers on our network (I'll call them S1 and S2, both running SQL 2000)
I recently received a new computer running SQL 2005 Standard/Vista. When I try to connect to S1 and S2, I can’t find them anywhere. Am I overlooking some settings in 2005/vista?
I am a little inexperienced at this, so please let me know if any additional information would be helpful.
can anybody tell me about Linked Servers and their uses and how to add a linked server to my Sql Server 2005. any help on this would be highly appreciated.
I have been trying to Link two sql servers on two different machines over the Internet without any luck. Can someone point me to information about doing this with good examples?
I currently have a main SQL Server which had a column on the majority of the tables. This column also had a check contraint on it. I dropped the column and the constraint and I now get the following message when trying to query the tables through a linked server 'OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata. An extra column was supplied during execution that was not found at compile time.'.
Hi All, I have successfully linked a server and had SQL queries running OK for a few weeks, but today I get the following message....
"OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata. An extra column was supplied during execution that was not found at compile time." (Server: Msg 7353, Level 16, State 1, Line 1)
I've dropped the link and recreated it but I still get the same error message. Can anyone help???
I have a DTS package that requires me to link 2 servers and query both in order to get my set of records that I want to Transform. My query runs fine in QA. I copy and paste it into the SQL Query window of the transformation. I click Preview and all that happens is a quick flicker of the DTS window. When I go to Transformations, there are no source columns.
Here is a copy of my code that I'm trying to use: ------------------------------------------------------- declare@start_dteas datetime, @end_dteas datetime
SELECTT70.* FROM CRMDEV02.MDCORE.DBO.T70_MD_UNIVERSE_RELATIONSHIP_M A NGT AS T70 JOIN #RUNS ONT70.RUN_ID = #RUNS.RUN_ID
DROP TABLE #RUNS ------------------------------------------------------ Is there an issue with Linked Servers and DTS? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Gurus, I am looking for literature to find out Pros and Cons of Using DTS Verses Linked Servers in SQL 7.0.
My requirement can be done by either DTS or Linked servers. But I would like to know more about resorce utilisation of these tecniques before making a decission.
When I create linked server using integrated security and <they will be impersonated> option I get this: Server: Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 1 Login failed for user '' MS Technet says that SQL Server 7 doesn't allow double hops and to use mappings to standard security login to work around. @#%%~~@@#@#&^%@# Impersonating to version 6.5 works fine. Is there any way to link servers using ONLY integrated security? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
I have setup a linked Informix server in SQL7.0 and I am trying to create a simple View with the following SQL statement
SELECT doc_code FROM FOURSITE.foursite.informix.watdoc WHERE (order_no = [PV01963B ])
I am getting the following error:
--------------------------- SQL Server Enterprise Manager --------------------------- [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid use of schema and/or catalog for OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL'. A four-part name was supplied, but the provider does not expose the necessary interfaces to use a catalog and/or schema. --------------------------- OK Help ---------------------------
Hi. I'm working with SQL Server 7.0 and I've been reading about the linked server option. My question is, if it's possible to link a server with a SQLBase database 7.01.
I have download some drivers to my computer, the odbc driver for sqlbase and the sqlbase ole db driver as well, but when I try to add a new linked server in the enterprise, in the provider name option I can not see any provider name addressing to Centura or Sql base driver.
Has anybody an idea how to make this connection then? or the right way for doing it??
Thanks for any help can be offered. Regards, Elvia. :)
I have two 7.0 servers and I want to run a distributed query.
I did sp_addlinkedserver to link server B to server A and I did sp_addlinkedsrvlogin for a specific login. After adding login when I try to access a table on server B it says login failed
All the logins are NT authenticated (in both the servers, So both servers have same logins.)
Hi all I try to configure Linked Servers from the query analyze , and have some troubles. My steps are : 1. from the enterprise mennenger , add 2 new servers : srv1 , srv2 (both SQL7) 2. from the query analyzer of srv1.master: "sp_addlinkedserver 'srv2'" 3. from the query analyzer of srv1.master: "sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'srv2',false,null,'sa','myPass'" 4. select * from srv2.pubs.srv2Table 5. I get the next error :"error 6 : Specified SQL srever not found."
This is my problem I have a Server A and Server B. There is a master table in Table A. I link Server A and Server B. When I look in Under Linked Server tables of B I can only C tables in Server A not the Server B 's Tables. Dpn't know what is happening. Could SOmebody help
I have two servers and they are linked servers. When I query a table on ON Box2 from Box1 The distributed query works fine but when I tried the oppisite it says 'SQL Server does not exist or access denied.' What could be the reason.
Recently, I had Microsoft review why our SQL Db was unexpectedly terminating. They pointed to our Oracle Linked servers. They recommended that we try to uncheck the enable allow in process option on the ODBC driver. We are currently using the Microsoft OLE Db provider for our Oracle connnections as we were unable to get the Oracle ones to work with a linked server. When we unchecked this allow in process option near the end of the day our website began getting out memory errors from ODBC. It appeared to have been because of this change. Does anyone have any insight as to why changing this option could have caused this?
Is there any limit to the number of linked servers i can add via EM?. where can i find more info on adding/configuring linked servers in MSSQL2k and the limitations/drawbacks if any?
We have a new 2005 server, and I am trying to link our old 2000 server so I can use the old databases in new server.
This is what I done: In 2005: EXEC sp_addlinkedserver oldServer --completed fine then: EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin oldServer, 'false', NULL, 'Administrator', password --completed fine But whenI run the query I get the error:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "oldServer" 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 'Administrator'.

I have a win 2003 server running sql server 2005. I am trying to create a 'linked server' with an oracle 8i database at a remote site. I have tried using the 'add linked server' option from sql server enterprise manager and I have also tried to create it using the sp_addlinkedserver command. i tried using a dsn as the datasource and I have also tried using a dsnless connection using a TNS entry as the provider string. The Oracle client is on the box as can be confirmed both by the dropdown in the 'add linked server' dialog in sql server enterprise manager and also by going into the oracle enterprise manager and actually sending oracle data. I don't really have a preference on how to create the 'Linked server', I just need to get it to work.
I have a linked server connection on a SQL 2k server connected to a Sybase ASE 12.5 server via Sybase OLE DB connection. To this point everything has been working great for months. Now we're encountering a problem where new tables created on the Sybase db won't show up in the linked server connection. I've checked permissions and the object owners and everything is exactly the same as the pre-existing tables except the table's new.
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

User exists on both SERVERS the linked one and the one im setting u the linked server with.
Okay, so i have two sql servers on the same network. i want to be able to have them linked. so i went into management studio, and did the New Linked Server Wizard.
i typed in the box "Server2" (name of the server i want to link to) and selected SQL CLIENT bullet
now the sa logins are the same, and so are the windows logins for the server, so security shouldnt really be an issue.
when i run: EXEC sp_tables_ex Server2
i get the following error: OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "Server2" returned message "Invalid authorization specification". Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 41 The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "Server2" reported an error. Authentication failed. Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 41 Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "Server2".
is this a username/password issue? the windows administrator accounts are the same, and so are the sa logins, is there something i can do to get past this?
small update i tried: USE master; GO EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'Server2', N'SQL Server' GO
BEGIN TRY EXEC sp_testlinkedserver N'Server2'; END TRY BEGIN CATCH PRINT 'Linked Server not available'; RETURN; END CATCH
ang got: OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "Server2" returned message "Login timeout expired". OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "Server2" returned message "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.". Linked Server not available
I need help creating a linked server between two SQL Server 2005 databases. What I need to be able to do is query Table A from Database1 on Server1 from Database1 on Server2. Do I create a DSN? Would I create it on Server1 or Server2? I've looked at examples online and the linked server template, but I'm very new at this.
