Create A Linked Server To MPP File

Apr 13, 2007

I have created a linked server that connects to "mpp" file, and it connects and opens successfuly returning a list of tables that exists in the linked server to the mpp file.

But the problem i am facing now that whne i write a select statment to get data from the tables in this linked server

select * from linktompp.testmpp.dbo.tasks

such that linktompp is the linked server name
testmpp is the catalog name
tasks is the table name i need to select data from

it shows an error that says

"Could not obtain a required interface from OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Project.OleDB.11.0'."

"[OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Project.OleDB.11.0' IUnknown::QueryInterface returned 0x80004002: IGetDataSource]"
could anyone tell me the reason of this error

thanks

How To Create Linked Server To Access 2007 Accdb File?

Feb 20, 2008

How does one create a linked server to an Access 2007 (accdb) file? I am aware that to create one to a mdb file, the code would be -EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'SEATTLE Mktg',
@provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@srvproduct = 'OLE DB Provider for Jet',
@datasrc = 'C:MSOfficeAccessSamplesNorthwind.mdb'
GO
What is the corresponding code for Access 2007 accdb files?

Cannot Create Linked Server

Jul 3, 2007

I am trying to create a linked server in Management Studio Exoress. In the Objext Explorer, I open Server Objexts and the right-click on Linked Servers and select New Linked Server. I then get an error that says "Cannot show the requested dialog. Additional information: Cannot find table 0. (System Data). The full text of the error is as follows:

I am running XP SP2 and SSE SP2. One other item is that the providers folder is empty. I checked another box and there are several providers listed in that installation. It looks like when the SSE is installed, the providers are not being created. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and am having the same problem. Is this a installation bug or is there a conflict with another program? I also re-downloaded the installation files in case there was a problem with that, but it didn't solve the issue either.







Thanks for any help,

Create (U)SP In Database On Linked Server

Aug 1, 2006

Hi,
I'm using a couple of linked servers.
I want to create a stored procedure on all of the linked servers in a database with a name which exists on all of the linked servers.
For executing SQL on all of the linked servers I'm using:

declare @x int
declare @dbname varchar(500)
declare @SQL nvarchar(600)
set @x = 1
create table #databases (ID int IDENTITY,name varchar(500))
insert #databases select instancelongname from instances
while @x <= (select max(id) from #databases)
begin
select @dbname = name from #databases where id = @x
select @SQL='blabla bla bla create PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_xxxx]'
execute @SQL
set @x = @x + 1
end
drop table #databases

Is it possible to use a ‘create procedure’ in this construction?
Can anybody give me some help how to create a proper syntax for it?

Any help is kindly appreciated!

Create Linked Server To SYBASE ASA 9.0

Apr 2, 2008


Hi all,

I´m trying to create a linked server to a Sybase database (.db file) so i can create some reports in sql 2005 (with Reporting Services and Report Designer). After reading all articles I did the following.

1) Installe Adaptive Server Anyhwere (Interactive Sql) 9.0.2 on the server.
2) Created a USER DSN to the Db file (Control Panel - odbc connections) and it works fine: The Settings for the ODBC are:


ODBC Tab


Data Source Name: dbNOM

Login Tab


Supply userID and Password: (selected)

User ID: DBA

Password: SQL

Database Tab


Server Name: dbNOM

StartLine: C:Program FilesSybaseSQL Anywhere 9win32dbeng9.exe

Database Name: (blank)

Database File: c:Project FolderDataBase.db
As I said, when i go for "test connection", works fine.

3) Sql Management Studio - Object Explorer - Server Objects - New Linked Server, with settings as following:


General


Linked Server: lkDbNom

Server Type: Other Data Source

Provider: Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere Provider 9.0

Product Name: Sybase

Product Name: dbNom (the dsn name, right?)

Security


Be made using this security context.- Remote Login: DBA; Password: SQL (same as DSN)
All other settings, as default, click in OK and shows no errors (aparently it creates the linked server successfully). But when i try to query the linked server with:


SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY ('SYBASE', 'SELECT * FROM nom_Robot')

And i get the following message:


Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

Incorrect syntax near 'SYBASE'.

Even better, if i go to the Object Explorer - Server Objects, i test the connection and it´s ok, but when i try to retrieve the catalog an error displays:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------
Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&LinkId=20476
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
------------------------------
The OLE DB provider "ASAProv.90" for linked server "SYBASE" reported an error. Access denied.
Cannot obtain the required interface ("IID_IDBSchemaRowset") from OLE DB provider "ASAProv.90" for linked server "SYBASE". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7399)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=09.00.3054&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=7399&LinkId=20476


So, i really don´t understand what is missing in my linked server, i tried with MDASQL (OLEDB for ODBC) but it doesn´t even completes to create the linked server.

The database file is ok because, because in another server (one that doesn´t have SQL, only visual studio) i did the following:

1) Installe Adaptive Server Anyhwere (Interactive Sql) 9.0.2 on the server.
2) Created a DSN to the Db file, and it works fine. (copied the db file, so is local, no remote access), exactly the same setting as i did on the sql 2005 server.
3) Created a connection in visual studio 2008 (server explorer - data connections), i can retrieve sdata...but of course the provider is .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC and i cannot use the same connection string.

Any ideas?

P.S.

HELP - Error 15028 - Can't Create Linked Server

Nov 22, 2002

I have 2 instances of server A. A is the primary instance and A1 is the logical instance. Instance A1 has a linked server to server B. When I try to create a linked server from the primary instance A to server B, I get the error message

Error 15028: The server 'B' already exists.

When I run a select of master..sysservers on the primary instance, A, I see all linked servers for A and A1. When I select off of A1 I only see the instances for A1.

If I try to access server B from the primary instance A, I receive the following message:

Server: Msg 7411, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Server 'B' is not configured for DATA ACCESS.

(1) Why does sysservers on the primary instance, A, show instances for A and A1 and not just the ones for A?

(2) Why can't I create the linked server 'B' on instance 'A'?

Thanks, Dave

Hello

I have a local SQL2005 server with a linked SQL2000 server. I would like to know how to create a temporary table in the remote server in such a way that I can make an inner join as follows; my idea is to optimized a distributed query by doing so:

create table #myRemoteTempTable

select * from myLocalTable

update myRemoteTable
set
Value=#myRemoteTempTable.Value
from myRemoteTable
inner join #myRemoteTempTable on #myRemoteTempTable.ID=myRemoteTable.ID

Create Temp Table On Linked Server From Local Server

Jan 15, 2004

Hi,

I would like to join two tables: one on a local server which I have admin access to and another server which I only have read access. The local table is very small, but the remote table is very large.

If I look at Query Analyzer's execution plan, it appears that the join will be done locally (i.e. the entire table is transferred from the remote server and then joined to my local table). Is there a way to create a temp table using linked servers, transfer my small local table to the remote server and then perform the join on the remote server? In the past, I have been able to use openquery to restrict the data to a small subset that is transferred but the local table is a little too large for that.

I appreciate any advice / guidance anyone can offer me!

Cannot Create An Instance Of OLE DB Provider IBMDADB2 For Linked Server

Aug 3, 2007

System: Win 2003, SQL Server 2005, Using an AD win account that is not a member of the Admin group on the server.

Error message from Management Studio query window:

Msg 7302, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "IBMDADB2" for linked server "Sname".

Event messages associated with this error:

App Event ID: 19036
The OLE DB initialization service failed to load. Reinstall Microsoft Data Access Components. If the problem persists, contact product support for the OLEDB provider.

Sys Event ID: 10016
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {2206CDB0-19C1-11D1-89E0-00C04FD7A829}
to the user domainuser SID (S-1-5-21-126051702-1034962659-2130403006-7826). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

I€™m getting this error message when trying to run an openquery statement through a linked server to DB2. (SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(Sname, 'SELECT * FROM tablename€™))
The linked server has a remote login and password that it uses to connect to DB2.

I found this from another post on how to fix this error:
Expand Component Services - Computers - My Computer - DCOM Config Select MSDAINITIALIZE Right Click properties then security
Under Security - Launch Permission: enable Local Launch and Local Activation for your SQL Service account
Under Security - Access permissions: Allow System: Local Access and Remote Access.

After completing these steps I still get the error message but the events are no longer generated. I€™ve also tried different variations of these steps. The only way I can get this to work is to either make the AD user a member of the Admin group on the server or by putting in a user account that has admin rights to the server in the MSDAINITIALIZE properties €“ Identity Tab €“ Run this App as this User.

Can someone please tell me the steps that I€™m missing?

Integration Services :: Need To Create SSIS CONNECTION Manager Specifically For Linked Server?

Oct 1, 2015

I have a linked server setup in dev environment which is pointing to ORACLE server of a third-party. I m on  sql server 2008 r2 and   using BIDS 2008 for building an SSIS package which would pull data from oracle and do a look up in SQL server table to get a final  extract. Now the query which pulls data from a single table from linked server is like the one below

select * from [oracle linked server ]..dbo.tablename a
left join  mySQLSERVERtable b
on a.id=b.id 

Note:I can execute this query on SSMS as  the linked server is setup -[oracle linked server ] and I have sql  oledb connection manager for dev environment already configured in my ssis package .

My questions are do I need to create a SSIS CONNECTION manager specifically for linked server in my ssis package ?

Are there any best practices which we follow when using linked servers in this context ? I am thinking will the join suffer performance issue and what kind of exceptions I need to write when the linked server connection is broken.

Cannot Create An Instance Of OLE DB Provider SQLNCLI For Linked Server SERVERNAME, Error: 7302

Mar 2, 2008



I just installed a SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 instance on a server with an existing SQL Server 2000 SP3 installation. (I need SQL Server 2005's INSERT from an EXEC capability). It's working great now except for one thing: I can't link any other SQL servers! I've already successfully added and queried a linked Oracle server, but attempting to add a linked SQL server gives me the following error, no matter which SQL provider I try to use:




Code Snippet
"The linked server has been created but failed a connection test. Do you want to keep the linked server?"
Additional information:
--> An exception occured while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionInfo)
--> Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SERVERNAME". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7302)


The technical details reveal the error source as "sp_testlinkedserver".




I've scoured the net and premier support for advice on this problem, but the little I found wasn't helpful. I've tried reinstalling the SQL Native Client, but it didn't help. I've tried uninstalling SQL Server 2005 Express completely (including management studio and native client), rebooting, and reinstalling everything, with no luck. The server (obviously) does not have a firewall enabled. I've tried stopping the SQL 2000 Server installed on the system, no help. If I create a test .UDL file on the system, pointing to any of the SQL servers I'm trying to link, clicking the "Test Connection" button returns successful. I'm also able to connect to and query the servers directly from the SQL 2005 Express Management Studio. I just can't add them as linked servers.

The server is running Windows 2003 SP1, SQL Server 2000 SP3, and SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 (the default "SQLExpress" named instance). I've tried setting up SQL 2005 Express to run under the network service account and under a domain account used by the other SQL 2000 servers.

From other SQL 2000 servers, I can connect and link to the SQL Server 2005 Express instance successfully. I can also successfully add linked SQL servers in SQL Server 2000 instance installed on the same server. Only adding linked SQL servers in 2005 Express seems to be broken.

Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm totally baffled. Thank you so much for any helpful advice.

Linked Server..... Can I Use A File DSN?

Apr 1, 2008

Linked Server File DSN?

Can anyone help? I am trying to connect a Domino Server with the NotesSQL ODBC.
I was unable to set the ODBC up as a System DSN ('The setup routines for the
Lotus NotesSQL Driver (*.nsf) ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error
code 126') and had to set it up as a file DSN.


Can I still set up a Linked Server to it? I keep getting errors:

'7399 Invalid Connection String attribute]
(not sure what I was supposed to enter in the 'Product String' dialog box)
Datasource name not found and no default driver specified]....'


The file DSN was setup OK. I know this because I can use it as a connection in
DTS and successfully import various tables (although it does not work with the
import wizard?)


Does anyone know if I can use the file DSN to setup a linked server?

If so, what do I put in the 'provider string' and 'catelog' dialogs.

Any help much appreciated. wyatt.anderson@nwmhp.nhs.uk

Excel File As A Linked Server

Apr 25, 2000

I am trying to link an excel file as a linked server. I tried two methods unsuccessfully.

first: using

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'Ex',
'Jet 4.0',
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'c:list5.xls',
NULL,
'Excel 5.0'
GO

When I run
EXEC sp_tables_ex Ex, I get the error below.

Server: Msg 7303, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 20
Could not initialize data source object of OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.]


Second: I link the excel file using ODBC datasource:

EXEC sp_tables_ex mylink, works fine with mylink being the linked server name. I get the table names eg. table1$, table2$.... However when I try to query the tables, I get this error:

Server: Msg 7313, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'.

SQL 2012 :: Linked Server To CSV File

Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Stats_CA".

I uninstalled and reinstalled the AccessDatabaseEngine - no change.

The provider is displayed, so it's not that.

I verified temp and csv location folder permissions

I tried the -g512 startup option

The csv has a schema.ini as required

It was an 'in place' upgrade, so nothing else has change.

2. Created Data Base [Customer].
3. Created Linked Server [CUSTOMERLINK] USING Microsoft Jet 4.0 to link to Drive F:Data which has DBF files in it.
4. Create dbo.Customer_Upload Table.
5. INSERT INTO [Customer].[dbo].[Customer_UpLoad]
([Name],[Email])
SELECT
NAME,EMAIL
FROM [CUSTOMERLINK]...[CUS]

All this works fine. I can even put it in to an After Insert Trigger on another table and it works.

My problem is that I need this to work in a scheduled job.

F:Data is just a folder with files in it.

This info is from a Restaurant POS system and I need to update it every night.

I have tried every which way to to setup the security issue as there isn't any login security on the folder and SqlServerAgent wants security.

Hi

I am having an Access database on a shared network drive which has read/write access rights on the that shared network drive.
When I try to Access data through the linked server it gives me gives me a message box saying you do not have permissions to view the data.
Also if i try to use xp_cmdshell to copy over the mdb file to my local drive it say 'Access denied'

But when I copy (through command prompt) the same file to another network drive or my local drive where I have full control the linked server can connect sucessfully.

The problem is the i cannot have 'full control' permissions on shared drive where my database resides.

Has anybody encountered this problem....

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cannot Initialize The Data Source.. Text File Linked Server

Sep 7, 2007

Hi All,

I have this very big text file (2.5 GB - which of course I am not able to open). This resides on a server which has SQL 2005.

I have created a linked server for this text file on my SQL database, and when I try to query the table, I get an error:

Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "txtsrv".

Why am I getting this error? When I make a dummy linked server on my local machine and test the steps it all works OK. but when I go to this server where the file and it's SQL instance is lying, I get this error. Please can someone provide me with some help on this?

Many thanks,
~S

P.S. Here is how I created the linked server (I also have the Schema.ini lying under the same folder):


EXEC sp_addlinkedserver txtsrv, 'Jet 4.0',

'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',

'C:SSAnalysis',

NULL,

'Text'

SQL 2012 :: Allow Authenticated User To Query Excel File Via Linked Server?

I'm trying to create a query within the application that will directly access an excel file through a linked server.

As a test, I login to SSMS as the sql auth user to run the linked server query below but the following error is returned:

select *
from Corporate...[Sheet1$]OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Corporate" returned message "Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.".

Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Corporate".

When I login as a Windows auth user, I can successfully run the above query.

I noticed within the linked server's security definition that I cannot specify a windows auth user as the mapped Remote User or as the Remote login

I've tried creating a Credential object with the identity of the windows user and assign that object to the sql auth user but to no avail. I still get the same error

I am using SQL Server express so the option of an automated server agent job to import the excel file is not available.

I am having trouble getting a job step to execute an executable file. One of the options for a job step is to enter an operating system command. I have tried entering the following operating system command to execute a file:

'start c:myfile.exe'

For some reason this doesn't work. How can I get SQL Server to execute an executable file?
