Does Linked Server For MS Access Support Transaction?
Aug 16, 2007
Dear all,
We have connected a Access to a MS SQL Server 2005 as a Linked Server with the followoing settings:
1) Provider: Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider
2) Product Name: Access
3) Data source: X:XXXXX.mdb
4) Provider string: ;pwd=YYYYYY;
5) Collation Compatible: False
6) Data Access: True
7) Rpc: False
8) Rpc Out: False
9) Use Remote Collation: True
10) Collation Name:
11) Connection Timeout: 0
12) Query Timeout: 0
We found that when cannot have any insert/update/delete statement for this linked server if transaction is began. Otherwise, we will have the following exception.
============
Msg 7390, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The requested operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "ZZZZZZ" does not support the required transaction interface.===========
We wonder whether the problem is because Access does not support distributed transaction. If so, do you know any workaround will work for us?
Thanks and regards,
William

Hi,I have 2 stored procedure 1st insert the data in parent tables and return the Id. and second insert child table data using that parent table id as paramenter. I have foreign key relationship between these two tables also.my data layer methods somewhat looks likepublic void Save(order value){using (TransactionScope transactionScope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required)) { int orderId = SaveOrderMaster(value); value.OrderId = orderid; int childId = SaveOrderDetails(value); //complete the transaction transactionScope.Complete(); }}here 1. SaveOrderMaster() calls an stored procedure InserOrderData which insert a new record in order table and return the orderId which is identity column in Order table.2. SaveOrderDetails() call another sotored procedure which insert order details in to table "orderdetail" using the foreign key "orderid".My Problem:Some time the above method works correctly but when i call it repeatledly (in a loop) with data, some time it gives me foreign key error which state that orderid is not existsin table Order. This will happen only randomly. I am not able to figureout the reason. does some one face the same problem. if yes, what could be the reason and/or solution.

Hello, I've a problem with a software developed in C# with the framework 2.0. This is the error I receive : The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "XXX_LINKED_SERVER" was unable to begin a distributed transaction. OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "XXX_LINKED_SERVER" returned message "No transaction is active.". If I try directly to restart the process, it works fine. Is there someone who can help me ? This is the process 1. In C# --> Call of a Query : select from the linked server (db in sql 2005) and insert into a table SQL 2005 2. In the C# --> using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope()) and insert in a table in SQL 2005 which is link server Thank in advance.

Hey all,
I've been experiencing an issue related to linked server. Here is the scene:
- Application A queries View V located in SQL Server S1
- View V accesses Table T located in SQL Server S2 using a linked server
The problem is:
- Application A start the transaction and it simply gets locked. It throws no errors nor exceptions.
Important:
- S1 and S2 are in different machines
- When S1 = S2, then the application successfully access View V.
Any suggestions?

I have a problem in running this query on linked servers, which has distributed partitioned view.
SQLTransaction transaction;... public void DeleteAllData() { try { connection.Open(); transaction = connection.BeginTransaction(); { Console.WriteLine("Deleting All Data..."); string cmdText = ""; cmd = new SqlCommand(cmdText, connection, transaction); cmd.CommandText = "delete from NEW_ORDER where NO_O_ID > 0"; cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); cmd.CommandText = "delete from ORDER_LINE where OL_NUMBER > 0"; cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
transaction.Commit();
Console.WriteLine("Sucessful"); } } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("Failed in Method DeleteAllData"); throw e; } finally { connection.Close(); } }
The error returned was:
Failed in Method DeleteAllDataSQL Exception caught: Unable to start a nested transaction for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SERVER_B". A nested transaction was required because the XACT_ABORT option was set to OFF.OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SERVER_B" returned message "Cannotstart more transactions on this session.".
I realized that this problem may be eliminated if I'm using stored procedures on the database, and SET XACT_ABORT ON before any transaction.
Please could anyone help me.

Is there a way to read data from a linked server,within a transaction, without using DTC?The data on the linked server is static, thereforethere is no need for two-phase commit. There isno need for locking data on the linked server, becauseit is not being updated (either from the remote server,or from the local server).I don't want to run DTC because:1.) there have been security-related flaws with DTC inthe past2.) the application doesn't do distributed updates, andbecause the data on on the remote server is static,there is really no data integrity exposure withoutDTC.I cannot specify "WITH (NOLOCK)" on the select fromthe linked server:Server: Msg 7377, Level 16, State 1, Line 6Cannot specify an index or locking hint for a remote data source.I tried setting the isolation level:SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTEDbut that seems to have no effect on the requirement to use DTC.I still get the message:MSDTC on server 'LOCALSERVER' is unavailable.Is there some other way around this? Is it possible to provide someconnection string parameter, in the linked server setup, that wouldspecify the "READ UNCOMMITTED" isolation level for the linked server,so that DTC wouldn't be necessary.(In other words, can I tell SQL Server, "trust me, this won't hurt"?)Environment: SQL Server 2000 sp4The SQL does something like:declare @x char(4), @k int, @rc1 int, @rc2 intset @k=123BEGIN TRANselect @x=xfrom remoteserver.remotedatabase.dbo.tablewhere k=@kupdate localdatabase.dbo.table1set x=@xwhere k=@kset @rc1=@@errorupdate localdatabase.dbo.table2set x=@xwhere k=@kset @rc2=@@errorif (@rc1 = 0 AND @rc2=0) COMMIT TRANelse ROLLBACK TRAN

I have a database containing my own tables and data and I wanted tobe able to query this against an accountancy program which has an ODBCdriver. This was never a problem with MS Access and Jet but I hit Jet'slimitations and have moved to SQL.Creating my own SQL database was no problem, but I was unsure of thebest way to be able to be able to have my SQL tables and my accountancysoftware tables appearing in the same Access front end.I created a linked server to the accountancy program. This wassuccessful in that I could see all the tables below the linked server inenterprise manager.My problem occurs when I try to bring the data from these tablesinto my SQL database.I create a new view in my database:-SELECT *FROM OPENQUERY(SAGE_SERVER, 'SELECT * FROM STOCK')(My linked server is called 'SAGE_SERVER' and I am trying to retrieveall columns from the STOCK table.)I then try to save this view and get the following errors.ODBC Error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The operationcould not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' was unableto begin a distributed transaction.[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]OLE DB Error Trace[OLE/DBProvider 'MSDASQL' ITransactionJoi JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a].Thanks in advance,Marcus Thornton.

I am trying to determine if it is possible to add transaction support for a SSIS package. Here are the basic tasks:
Read New/Updated records from SQL Server
Update changed records in Access
Insert new records into Access
Update new records in SQL Server with Access key assigned on insert in previous step
Reset dirty_flag
I would like to wrap a transaction around this. If the package fails in the task that updates sql server with the Access key, the next time it runs, it duplicates the new records in Access because it did not finish the process. Is it possible to have a transaction wrap this entire process so I can undo the inserts to Access if I fail any subsequent tasks?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
I am running SQL Server 7.0 and am trying to set up a linked server to an access database so I can use a SQL7 stored procedure to update the access database.
I create the linked server as:
sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'LinkedServer',
@srvproduct = N' ',
@provider = N'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@datasrc = N'MyServerest2.mdb',
@catalog = N''
GO
I then try setting up the security in the security tabs to impersonate a user I have set up in the access database.
I also have NT security on the directory of the access database to limit the users who can access the directory.
My problem is that when I try to run the sql:
"select * from LinkedServer...IMS" (IMS is the tablename) I get the following 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 'ASPECT04accpactestest2.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.]
If I add "Everyone" tpo the security level on the NT directory it works fine, so I obviously have a security problem.
Can anyone tell me what user the sql is running under.
any ideas of the best way to set this up.
many thanks for the help

I am new to SQL server. I have a pbm setting up a linked server to MS Access using ODBC. My MS Access database is in the Netware server. I have mapped the NT server to this Netware server using a binary account. Then I have setup the ODBC connection. I tested the ODBC its ok. But when I try to view to tables in the Linked server it gives me an error "Disk or Network Error". I am breaking my head for the past few days. If you have any solution. Pls reply. Thanks in advance.

After converting to SQL Server 2005 and VS2005 I am having a problem connecting to Linked Servers for Access databases. I have searched and read everything I can find, but the solution is still not evident. I have a lot of data integration and data conversion procedures to run and I am stuck at this point not understanding exactly what the problem is and how to resolve it. I believe it is somehow related to "double hop" and permissions with .NET. Many of the discussions are related to using .ASP but that is not involved in this situation.
The Linked Server is defined using the UNC path. The machines are not in a domain. They are in the same LAN segment. Connections will be made without using a security context is specified. A sample Linked Server definition:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'ACCESS EDUCATION', @srvproduct=N'OLE DB Provider for Jet', @provider=N'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', @datasrc=N'\Tacir2k3InfrastructureDatabasesJuly 2005 DatabasesEducationEduDb2005_TR_Db.mdb'
The error:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "ACCESS EDUCATION" returned message "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\Tacir2k3InfrastructureDatabasesJuly 2005 DatabasesEducationEduDb2005_TR_Db.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.".
Machine 1 (Developer Workstation): XP SP2 with latest security patches; SS Management Studio, VS2005
Machine 2 (SQL Server server): Windows 2003 Server with SS2005. The Linked Servers are defined on an SS2005 instance on this machine.
Machine 3 (File server): Windows 2003 Server that contains the Access DB files
When I run SS Management Studio on Machine 2 (the database server), I have no problem accessing the Linked Server pointing to an Access DB file on Machine 3 and can compile or run SPs referencing the Linked Server.
When I run SS Management Studio on Machine 1 to execute an SP that references the Linked Servers, I get the above error.
When I use Machine 1 to compile an SP that references the Linked Server, I get the above error.
I tried granting Everyone Full Control to the folder that contains all the Access database subfolders but I get the same error when running from Machine 1.

I am trying to configure a linked server to a local Access database with no security and only one table.
I set it up and tested on a test machine first and all works fine. I then did the same on our production box and receive the error below.
Server: Msg 7303, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not initialize data source object of OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Not a valid account name or password.]
I then set it up on another production box and it worked for a while but now I get a different 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: Cannot open database ''.
It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.]
Is there a server level setting that could be different on these machines that could be causing this?

Hi,
I have an Access database (name "Shipping") linked to SQL Server. The Access database is not secured. My access file is located on the same machine as the instance of SQL Server, in a shared folder that can be accessed by any user. The file permissions are set to full control for Everyone. I linked Access with the following procedure:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'Shipping',
@provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@srvproduct = 'OLE DB Provider for Jet',
@datasrc = 'C:ShippingShipping BackEnd.mdb'
then modified the linked server login mapping with:
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'Shipping','false',NULL,'Admin',NULL
Now, since I have domain administrator permissions, I can run a stored procedure in SQL Server that does a Select in the Access database without any problem. But when a normal user tries to run the procedure, he gets an error #7399. If I give this user domain administrator rights, he's able to run the procedure. There is something I don't get, with normal user permission, this user can open the Access database through the shared folder...
Thanks

On the local server, I can do
select * from [testDB].[INFORMATION_SCHEMA].[TABLES] -- local
select * from [testSRV].[testDB_far].[dbo].[sysobjects] -- linked
but not
select * from [testSRV].[testDB_far].[INFORMATION_SCHEMA].[TABLES]
How can I access the INFORMATION_SCHEMA on the linked server ?

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.

There seems to be a lot of confusion around the groups about linkingto an Access mdb with the SQL Server Jet OLE DB provider and I haventbeen able to find a straight forward solution. Basically, I have anAccess MDB (A2K) on one server and a SQL Server DB (2005 std ed.) onanother - Both on the same network. I'm trying to create a linkedserver object in the SQL server to view data in the mdb. I've set itup and it works - but only from the server machine itself. If you tryto connect the the linked server from any other computer on thenetwork you get the usual access denied / file in use error.The fact that I can use the linked server from the server box itselfbut not from another pc on the network makes me think that it may be apermissions problem. But I am logging in with full Admin rights andstill no joy. Also there is no workgroup security on the mdb, so thatsnot the problem. I've used the surface editor to remove anyrestrictions that may cause problems, OLE DB connect, OPENROWSET etc.but still no joy.I've tried mapping the mdb's location on the server so I could use astandard filepath, rather than a //Server-Name/... path. Again, worksfrom the server, but not from any client PCs, so no joy there either.In frustration, I copied the mdb to the same server and viola - fullaccess to the linked server from anywhere. But this is no good, I needthe mdb file to stay where it is. An mdb full of linked tables wontwork... they don't show up in the linked server.So that's it - out of ideas! Am I just going to have to accept thatlinked server objects are limited just to mdb files on the same servermachine, or is there something I'm missing??? Firewalls, servicelogins, server settings.... something one of you gurus out there knowabout that might be the key to making my headache go away!!!Any input gratefully recieved!!!

I've set up a linked server to an Access database and read from the linked database in a stored procedure. No problems when I execute the stored procedure from management studio and the Access database resides on a local drive.
However, when I move the database to a network share drive and run the proc through a scheduled job using SQL Server Agent I get the following error --
"Executed as user: C-SGROUPactprod. Access to the remote server is denied because the current security context is not trusted. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 15274)."
I've spent days trying to resolve this problem and tried many different setting to fix the problem, but no luck yet.
Under the Security setting for the linked server I have "Be made using this security context" selected with a valid id/password. I am able to login to the server where the database resides using the id and password and successfully open the database.
Don't know what to try next. Any suggestions?
I'm using SQL Server 2005 Developers edition.
Thanks.

I'm trying to run an SSIS package. The package runs on an SQL 2005 server on Win2k3 server. The package tries to connect to another win2k3 server with sql 2000 to retrieve some data. However, I recieve the errormessage shown in the topic.
I found info about modifying the MSDTC security settings under "component services" and did so. I made sure everything was allowed. However, the result was the same. Does anyone have any other idéa about what could cause this problem?
PS. The package works fine if I set up both databases on the same physical machine...

Hi:
No matter how I configure my link going thru EM I get a 7399 or 7303 error. First I tried to link to an Access 2000 db on a Windows 98 station. Next I installed Access 2000 on the test server with SS7, SP 2 (Windows NT 4, SP 5) and still the same errors. Is it possible to set up Access 2000 as a linked server on SS7? Can you give me the brainless man's walk-thru so I can get over this hump?
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
We are currently live with a CRM solution (Siebel) that uses SQL Server 6.5 as the back end. All is fine and dandy, except I have some reservations about security.
Quite simply, it is possible for anyone to open up MS Access and link to any of the SQL Server database tables via the ODBC DSN used by the Siebel front end. This DSN is necessary for Siebel to function.
I am bit worried that someone (out of incompetence or spite) might do just that and cause some serious damage. Its probably technically beyond the large proportion of our users (especially those that could make mistakes!), but I can't get the nagging fear out of my head.
Does anyone know of anyway to combat this problem? I have scoured the web, including this site, and cant seem to get any information on this.
Thanks and Regards

Hi all,
I have built several Linked Servers from my SQLServer 7 database to some Access 97 MDB files sitting on a Novell file server. When I am physically sitting at the SQLServer I can access/modify data through the links just fine. I have successfully built views, stored procs and jobs referencing these links and they all work perfectly ... As long as I am sitting at the SQLServer. So if I execute 'Select * from RT1...Emp' I get data back.
Now my problem. If I connect to the server from Query Analyser on a different machine I can not execute and anything that references a linked server. If I execute 'Select * from RT1...Emp' I get.
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: DIsk or Network error.]
I want to be able access various views and stored procs via a VB app so. Eventually I will be moving all of the Access data into the SQLServer but for now I must access the data via links.
Any ideas?
