Hi,
know this sounds like a really silly question, but im having a bit of a problem deleting from two linked tables
I have tried doing the following, however it says that it has an error near the ','
Any suggestions??
DELETE FROM meter_quote , client_details FROM meter_quote, client_details INNER JOIN client_details ON meter_quote.Client_ID = client_details.Client_ID
Thanks, Hayley
Hello all.
I am using the following statement to establish which rows have duplicate information using the following statement:
SELECT EMPLOY_REF, SAL_DATE FROM @TEMP_TABLE GROUP BY EMPLOY_REF, SAL_DATE HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
Once i have established these rows I want to delete them from the table. The code i had thought about (but QA doesnt like it) was:
DELETE FROM @TEMP_TABLE
WHERE EMPLOY_REF AND SAL_DATE IN (SELECT EMPLOY_REF, SAL_DATE FROM @TEMP_TABLE GROUP BY EMPLOY_REF, SAL_DATE HAVING COUNT(*) > 1)
Can anyone suggest a way to go about this? Thanks people :)
I am using the following select statement to get the row count from SQL linked server table.
SELECT Count(*) FROM OPENQUERY (CMSPROD, 'Select * From MHDLIB.MHSERV0P')
MHDLIB is the library name in IBM DB2 database. The above query gives me only the row count of table MHSERV0P. However, I need to get the names, rowcounts, and sizes of all tables that exist in MHDLIB librray. Is it possible at all?
Brief background:We are using SQL Server 2000, and one of the tables stores usersessions details (each time our users logs into our system we insert anew record in the session table, and each time user logs out from oursystem we insert another record in the same table).SESSION_ID is the primary key and it is clustered index.The system produces 5 million session records/day.The problem:Each day we transfer the session data (delta only) to other machine andwe want to delete bulk of ~5 million sessions. This should happendwithout any interfering of our customers activity ( in the same time,we should not block the table - new sessions should be created).What is the best way to perform such task ?

I have two SQL Server 2005 Databases running on the same server.
I am working in a third database that needs to contain a union query to display data from one table in each of the other databases.
In other words, within Database 3, I need to create View C..
This view will show takes Fields W & X from Table A in Database 1..
and union those values with Fields Y & Z from Table B in Database 2..
a) Does this make any sense?
b) What is the best way to do this?
(I searched, but anything with the phrase 'linked table' brought up results almost exclusively from the Access forums..)
Thanks!

View 5 Replies View RelatedI currently have a SQL Database with 1 Table. I have connected to the SQL table via MS Access 2003 via Linked Tables. I can import records from either an XLS or CSV file to the Link Tables all day. However, I cannot update nor delete records.

If so, please tell me what I need to modify within SQL. Thanks in advance!
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
I currently am in charge of creating a Sharepoint 2003/Exchange 2003 ticketing system. We have a client database (MS Access 2003) that has a linked table to our Exchange store, retrieving information we enter in Exchange regarding specific clients. I would like to move this database to SQL Server for performance reasons. Soon there will be many people accessing this database and I don't want the bottle neck to be Access.
The only quirk I can think of is, can one link a table from SQL Server to Exchange. Or for that matter, can SQL Server have linked tables at all? One solution I can think of is to create a System Service that runs on the server, to periodically update the SQL table with the information in the Exchange store. But that could become costly over time with large amounts of network bandwidth being used for unnecessary updates.
Is there maybe another solution I'm not seeing? Should I just stick with the Access database?
Thanks

In order to use Access 97 as your frontend and SQL 7 as your backend on a
network (where the frontend is located on the same computer as the backend and
people just map to Access frontend) where security for the data is recognized
by your domain login account and what domain group you belong to..do you
have to have the same System DSN on everyone's computer for linking? I am
still having problems with people linking to the SQL server through the network and only my account is working correctly from my desktop. Everyone
else who tries to link gets an ODBC failure error message when trying to
open one of the linked tables. I have heard from one person that you must
have the same system DSN on every client's computer but to me that makes no
sense as I do not have the DSN listed on my individual computer...I am just
going through the network as myself..not as an admin..and getting directly
to the data. Everyone else can get to the shared folder on the server but
cannot get to the linked tables. Any ideas?
I have linked a number of tables from a SQL database to a Access front end. I am able to update all but one of the tables (the main table I need!!!). I get the error, cannot update record as it has been changed by another user although there is no other user. I believe it may be to do with the way the recordset is linked to the access database or the referential integrity of the table associations in the SQL database.
I can change the data using query analyser without issue.
Any help would be greatfully apreciated.

The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "altai" does not contain the table ""prep"."dbo"."Staging_Transition_States"". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
This table exists, sp_help for this table is below. Why doesn't this table show up in the output of sp_tables_ex? As far as I can tell, permissions for the tables that work and this table are identical.

Hi,
I have an Access database Front End which use SQL server as a Back End. The two are connected using ODBC. Occasionally, some of the linked tables in Access go read only. I can't add or edit records. The only way I know to get round the problem is to delete the link and re-create it. Refreshing the link does not work. Can anybody suggest why this would happen, and the best way to fix it when it does occur?
Edited 12:10 06/14/07
Some extra info. At the same time it goes read only, the link loses it's primary key.
Thanks

In enterprise manager, I can browse the objects by clicking on "Tables" under the selected linked server, and that allows me to browse my objects in that server and eventually design my query graphically.
In SQL Server 2005 Express, I know that I cannot browse the objects after referring to microsoft article above.
"Note In SQL Server Management Studio, you cannot expand the new linked server name to view the list of objects that the server contains. "
However, is it possible to design my query graphically?
Having a little problem with linking to Access tables. I have an Access database that has in it, some linked tables. After setting up the linked server in SQL server, none of the linked tables in Access show up, only the tables that were created or imported show up.

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

I've run into the following problem using "select rowguidcol from [LinkedServer].[DBName].dbo.MyTable" (as opposed to using "select <rowguid column name>...".
Against a locally-connected database, the following SQL command works as expected:
SELECT rowguidcol from dbo.MyTable
However, If I run the same query against a linked server (using the 4-part notation), it fails with an 'Invalid column name 'rowguidcol'' error:
SELECT rowguidcol from [LinkedServer].[MyDB].dbo.MyTable
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid column name 'rowguidcol'.
I've searched around but can't seem to find any info that tells me definitively that I can't use rowguidcol against linked tables, so I'm wondering if I'm just doing something wrong?
Any ideas on how to get around this issue would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to use actual column names, as this is for generated scripts.
More Info:
> I can select the data just fine from the linked server if I use the column name - so I don't think it's a configuration or permissions issue.
> The row I'm trying to view is, in fact, a rowguidcol. I used the exact same script to create the table on both the local (where select rowguidcol works) and the linked (where it doesn't) servers.
> Both servers are MS SQL 2005 Standard with SP2
is it possible to define in sql server linked tables to odbc data sources as it is possible to do in access?
except Access and vfp, is there another database that allows to create linked tables to odbc data sources?

Hi,
I am trying to revamp our product database with a view to making it search-optmised and would like some guidance (or confirmation of method, if you will!!). We currently use a three table structure (Product, Brand, Cat(egory)) along the lines of :
create table product
(prod_id int not null,
brand_id int not null,
cat_id int not null,
other stuff e.g. tech. specs, displayed text on web page, etc....
)
with corresponding brand_id and cat_id in the other tables. While this seems relationally sound I see it as being inefficient for searching, particularly after reading the theory behind nested sets.
A new function I am building will enable users to drill down through the product list or runs searches against all or part of the db :
e.g. all products from one category,
all products fitting certain search criteria,
products from several selected brands fitting certain criteria,
and any combination of the above you can think of!
The problem is, not all products have the same criteria list (in fact I would be surprised if any did) and may also be of more than one category (a digital camera with movie mode might easily fit into the digital camcorder search). I think I am correct in that a nested set would make the structure fit the requirement - things like criteria, displayable text, etc. could be nodes in their own right and each logical level might have its own criteria. For example, if a category is selected then certain text must be displayed and could list further categories or products. The next level down would then require its own displayable text - I am mainly thinking about SEO tags here. Also, I am not precious about retaining the current table structure and would like an open ended solution where I can add further data/functionality in a dynamic fashion, which nested sets seem to embody.
Does this make sense to anybody coz I think I've confused myself even more!!
Thanks in advance,

Hey everyone. I've linke an access database and I am able to query the tables like so:
SELECT *
FROM QFinity...tblEmployees
I can do that to all the tables, however, I'd like to create a view to this linked database. Is this possible? I have a more complex query I'd like to run:
SELECT dbo_evaluations.eval_id, dbo_evaluations.quality_date, dbo_eval_questions.status
FROM QFinity...dbo_evaluations INNER JOIN dbo_eval_questions ON dbo_evaluations.eval_id = dbo_eval_questions.eval_id;
I get the error "Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'dbo_evaluations'."
I'm afraid I've reached the limit of my know how concerning sql server 2005... I think I read that I need to create a view? But I can't figure out how to do that.
Thanks for any help!
