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?
David
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.

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
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!
View 1 Replies View RelatedCan anyone help me understand what it takes to define a Linked Serverconnection to an IBM eSeries (AS400)? Do I need Microsoft's SNA Serveror some other product or can I simply do it with the tools provided withSQL Server 2000?Any guidance would be very appreciated. Thanks.Farid
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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. :-(
Is there a good way to port data from an AS400 over to SQL server 2005? If anyone has any experience with this, can you tell me where to go to get info?

I am trying to replicate data from DB2/AS400 to SQL Server2005 (ENT edition) currently we use 3rd party tool to replicate data from DB2 to SQL Server2000 (ENT edition) and like to get rid of this 3rd party tool.

Issue:
I have a file in the AS400 with Chinese characters and need to dowload to SQL Sever 2005 daily.
In the SQL Server, I created a database and table which collection is "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS", and I modified one of field which collection is from "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" to "Chinese_Taiwan_Stroke_CS_AS" (( the filed data type is "nvarchar" and the length is 42).
That mean that field can display the Chinese characters correctly.
In the SSIS,
1.Craeted a OLE DB Source to get the data ( The field name is "CUST_CHINESE_NAME" and the length is 42) from AS400
2.Craete a Data Conversion to convert that field from "String" to "Unicode String[DT_WSTR]" (The new field name is "Copy of CUST_CHINESE_NAME")
3.Create a Data Conversion 1 to convert that field from "Unicode String[DT_WSTR]" to "String[DT_STR]" and code page is change to "950"(The new field name is "Copy of Copy of CUST_CHINESE_NAME")
4. Creatd a OLE DB Destination to get that convert data and input the SQL Server ( the filed data type is "nvarchar" and the length is 42).
When I execute that SSIS, I got the error message in the third step.
****************************************************************************************************************************

Hi all
I am trying to connect to an AS400 to download data to a 64bit sql server 2005 server. I am able to do this easily by migrating existing sql2000 DTS packages but how do i do this is in an SSIS project creating the process from scratch? and how do i incorporate activex transforms like you could in DTS2000 into the trasnform with copy columns?
Please help i am slowly turning grey trying to get this to work.

Hello,
I want to set up As400 DB as a publisher and the sql server 2005 as a subscriper, so that I can read some data from AS400 DB in sql server 2005 and every evening, I need the replicated data from AS400 to be refreshed.
Can I do it ? If yes, how to do it?
Thanks
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

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?

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.

Can I connect from a SQL Server 2005 database to a SQL Server 2000 database, without establishing a linked server connection.
I need to fire a SELECT query on a SQL Server 2000 database, but don't want to add it as a linked server. Is there any way I can do this or its not possible??
I have a Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise server which I need to set up as a linked server in SQL Server 2005. The Sybase server is version 12.5.2, and the Sybase ODBC driver version is 4.20.00.67. I have already installed the Sybase client software on the server.
I also created a SystemDSN on the SQL Server to connect to the Sybase server. I tested the connection and it was able to connect.
I ran the following code to create the linked server:
<code>
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'LinkedServerName', @srvproduct=N'Sybase', @provider=N'MSDASQL', @datasrc=N'Sybase System DSN', @provstr=N'"Provider=Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider;Server Name=servername,5000;Initial Catalog=databasename;User Id=username;Password=password"'
</code>
I then ran sp_tables_ex to make sure I could view the tables in the Sybase database. Here is the error message I get:
<code>
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "LinkedServerName" returned message "[DataDirect][ODBC Sybase Wire Protocol driver]Error parsing connect string at offset 13. ".

I receive the following error message when I run a distributed query against a loopback linked server in SQL Server 2005:
The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) has cancelled the distributed transaction.
To resolve this problem, I was told that running a distributed query against a loopback linked server is not supported in SQL Server 2005. And I am suggested to use a remote server definition (sp_addserver) instead of a linked server definition to resolve this problem. (Although this is only a temporary resolution, which will deprecate in Katmai)
However, I run into another problem when I use the remote server definition. I receive the following error message:
