I wanted to know whether it is possible to query a database in AS400 server from MS SQL Server 7.0 using linked server. If it is possible, could you show some pointers as to how it can/should be implemented.
Thanks in Advance.

I am trying to create a linked server in SQL Server 2005 to show tables in our AS400. I made the connection, however, the tables are not showing up under the Linked Server name.
How do you get the linked tables to display in the Linked Server folder?

Hi!
Please
I got the following Error Message when trying to update a AS400 Database
"(Table Name) on (Data Source) not valid for operation"
My question is? Does Sql Server require journaling the files? How Should I change this option?. Please Help!
I did try to fix the above error, but then I got a new message:
OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' supplied inconsistent metadata. The object '(user generated expression)' was missing expected column 'Bmk1000'.
Could you help me?
I will appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance

I am trying to set up a linked server in MSSQL to an IBM AS400 using the IBM AS400 OLE DB Provider. The New Linked Server dialog box asks for properties Product Name and Data Source. I would like to know from someone who has successfully set up a linked server to an AS400 what the specific syntax in the properties needs to be. I have reviewed the OLB section on sp_addlinkedserver, and while this is helpful and gives many specific examples, I need an example for an AS400. Thank you to anyone who can help!

I would like to set up linked servers to DB2 and AS400 in SQL server and update the tables in these two databases via stored procedures in SQL servers.
I have read articles on Microsoft site which indicate installing Microsoft Host integration server and use SNA server 4.0 Service pack 4.0 to
configure DB2OLEDB drivers.
Could any one suggest how do go about doing this.
Do I need to buy Host integration server or is there any other way to do it.
your help is much appreciated

Using Microsoft SQL 2000
When creating a table I want to be able to specify not only the db to create it on but also which server to create it on. I have two servers that are linked together, I can view all data without issue.
Doing further research it looks like with the create table command you can tell it the new table name and the database but you can't tell it which server to use. Is there a way of doing this?
Example :
CREATE TABLE LAPTOP.database.dbo.tableName (a INT) gives the following error:
The object name 'LAPTOP.database.dbo.' contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 2.
I am new to linked servers so basically my question is, how do you point to a server within sql before I execute the create table command?
Tx in advance

I have a Merge Replication Setup. With 3 computers. One computer acts has a central publisher. The 2nd one is a subscriber, and republishes its data to the 3rd computer. Every thing is being done using Windows Authentication method. the 1st PC has SQL SERVER 2000 (Enterprise Manager, the works). The other two are SQL Server MSDE (Rel. A). My process is up and running and works, but heres my issue.
I need to script the replication installation process out., For future installations on machines that will be located in remote parts of the world. The will reside on a secure DSL network.
Anyone familiar with Scripting Merge Replication knows that once you've run certain scripts/procedures on your subscriber, you have to run a final procedure on the publisher to activate or initiate the subscriber as a valid one, and the you can start the Merge Agent on the subscriber, and voila! you're good. The procdure you run is called sp_addmergesubscription . It goes something like this :
BEGIN
exec sp_addmergesubscription @publication = @publicationname, @subscriber = @servername, @subscriber_db = @Attachedbname, @subscription_type = N'pull', @subscriber_type = N'global', @subscription_priority = 56.250000, @sync_type = N'automatic'
END
My intention was to embed this system in a stored proc on the publisher and then call it remotely from the subscriber, before starting the Agent. IT FAILS!!! This is my proc:
Create Procedure RunSp_AM_subscription(@servername Varchar(30), @IAdbname Varchar(20), @Attachedbname Varchar(20))
AS
DECLARE @publicationname Varchar(30)
SET @publicationname = 'REPUBLISH-'+@IAdbname+''
BEGIN
exec sp_addmergesubscription @publication = @publicationname, @subscriber = @servername, @subscriber_db = @Attachedbname, @subscription_type = N'pull', @subscriber_type = N'global', @subscription_priority = 56.250000, @sync_type = N'automatic'
END
When I call it locally ot works fine, but not otherwise........... :eek:
When I try to create a linked server SQL Server seems to think that one already exists (because Replication has already created the said server as a remote server). I think the fact that I am not using SQL Authentication might be a problem too.
Does anyone have any ideas? I mean seriously, any suggestions on what to do. This is qute Urgent..............
Thanks.

I would like to create a linked server from SQL Server to Sybase IQ. I have created linked servers before so I know how to do that. However, I dont know the specifics of creating a linked server to Sybase IQ.
What are the parameters that are necessary to link IQ to SQL Server. Which Provider do I use? Do I need to install a special driver?
I'm trying to create a linked server to an Access database that resides on a separate machine.
On my PC, I can create a link to the Access db, and view, update, add and delete data. If I create the same linked server on our production Server, I can again view, update, add and delete data. All's well so far.
If I now go back to my own PC (used for developing) I cannot access the linked server on the production machine.
The Access database is stored on a separate PC, so the I'm linking to a remote db. As I said this works fine if I'm sat in front of the PC that the linked server is created on - but not if I use a client PC to connect.
I create the linked server using the following command:
exec sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'AccLinkedServer',
@provider = 'Microsoft.jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@srvproduct = 'OLE DB Provider for Jet',
@datasrc = '\DatabaseServerAccessDatabase.mdb'
If I run the SQL statement:
SELECT * FROM AccLinkedServer...AnyTableYouLike
I get this error:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\DatabaseServerAccessDatabase.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].
I've searched in the MS knowledge base, and this forum and followed all of the advice that was available, but it still won't work.
Anyone got any other advice, before I go totally insane with this.
Cheers.

Hi all,
I hope someone can help me with linked servers.
In one of my applications running on a MSSQL database, I need to issue a select call to an Oracle database to pull information into my application.
To accomplish this,
1. the ORacle Admin has created a view of the Oracle database for me.
2. I have installed the Oracle client on the SQl server box.
3. A friend has told me that one way to accomplish this is create a linked server from SQL to use OLE/DB for Oracle to connect to the Oracle database
4. So I create the linked server successfully; create the server login sp_addlinkedsrvlogin successfully
5. When I go to query the database, I get the error below:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 (or greater) client software installation.
You will be unable to use this provider until these components have been installed.]
Anybody understand this?
Thanks in advance,

Hellow,
This is the siuation:
I have on server A SQL 2005

I want to create in a database on server A a view which uses a linked server to get data from server B.
The linked server works fine.
But when I want to execute the creation of that view i get this error:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "BI_AX_LINK" returned message "Unspecified error".

I have checked and the collations between the to databases are the same.
Anyone an idea on who to do such thing?

Hi,
I am using SQL Express 2005 sp1
When I created a linked Server to the DB2 on iseries ( V4R5) , the SELECT statement fetches me only the first record and the following message appears.
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "DB2TEST" returned message "[IBM][Client Access Express ODBC Driver (32-bit)]Driver not capable.".
Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "DB2TEST".
I am using 'MSDASQL' which refers to the DSN setup on my machine using the ODBC "Client Access Driver 32-bit"
Strangely when I used the same DSN in SQL 2000 within the DTS package, I was able to connect and import data and worked like a charm.
Can anyone advice me where I am going wrong.
Thanks in advance
I'm trying to use linked server to import big amount of data(around 9 million rows) from mysql to a sql 2005 table.
I plan to create a stored procedure and use job agent to run it at off-peak time everyday. The SP is like:
.....
Truncate table sqltblA;
Insert Into sqltblA(col1, col2, col3)
Select col1, col2, col3
From OpenQuery('mysql', 'Select col1, col2, col3 From mytblB')
.....
But when I tried to CREATE the above SP from management studio, seems the sql server was trying to get all data from table mytblB and ended up with failure after several minutes hang. The error message is sth. like "running out memeory". BTW, during that several minutes hang, I can't query mytblB using mysql's tool as well. it seems to me that table got locked.
However if i try to change the returned result to 100,000 rows by changing script to
Insert Into sqltblA(col1, col2, col3)
Select col1, col2, col3
From OpenQuery('mysql', 'Select col1, col2, col3 From mytblB Limit 100000')
The SP could be created without any problem and running the SP could get the data in table sqltblA.
But that's not what I want, I need all rows instead of a certain amount of rows.
Does anyone know what's going on there when I try to CREATE that SP and any solution to it?
Plus I tried to use SSIS as well. When I'm configuring the DataReader source, which uses ADO.NET's ODBC option to connect to mysql, if its sqlcommand is "select * from mytblB" without the Limit key word, then the configuration page will hang there as well and table mytblB is not accessible by using mysql tool. I'm just sick of wasting time on that and that's why I chose to use SP istead of SSIS. But same result. :-(
I need to create a linked server to a SQL 2005 server (B) from another SQL 2005 server (A). Problem is that Server B's name has a dash in it, and SQL Server doesn't like dashes in the name when running a query against the linked server. Server B's network name is Server-B. For example, from Mgt Studio on Server A, I've created a link to Server B whose name is Server-B, so in my query from Server A, I issue: SELECT * FROM Server-B, and get the following error message:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near '-'.
Any ideas,
Thnx

Hi all,
I am working at insurance company that using AS400 as it main server. All transaction data is already kept for about 10 years (or even more..). This data is growing larger from time to time, and after several upgrades (that cost a lot!), my supervisor has an idea to partly move the data from AS400 to SQL Server. (since the cost for upgrading sql server is cheaper than AS400).
So.. let say, we only want to kept data in AS400 from 4 years before until now (2004 – 2007), and the rest of data is kept in SQL Server.
So first, all transaction data from 1997 – 2003 is transferred to SQL and deleted in AS400.
If user queried data and didn’t found the data in AS400, it will search the SQL, if data is found in SQL, then data is transferred back to AS400 and deleted in SQL.
I’m using SQL Server 2000 DTS (use HiT OLEDB) to transfer the data from AS400 to SQL and vice versa.
I wanna ask if anyone has done this before? What’s the difficulties by using this approach? (btw, I will implement the DTS using user control in vb.net)
Or anyone has a better solution to overcome this problem?
Thanks,
