Hi all,
We have lookup tables we share on 6 database servers. We keep copying these very large tables to every database we use on each server, obviously a great waste of space. We don't mind copying these tables onto each of the servers but we want to be able to link to these tables from each database from within our servers. How is this done? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm looking for a possible way to access tables from SAP but in another database. This is not possible using ABAP from SAP. Therefore I wonder if it's possible to define some kind of virtual table in a database which in fact refers to a table in another MSSQL database...
Help and/or tips highly appreciated,
Paul
Hello All,
I have a question on linking tables with SQL Server. I have SQL Server 2000 with database A on machine A. I have SQL Server 2000 with database B on machine B. I want to link tables from the database on machine A into a database on machine B. I am not quite sure how to do this - I believe this can be done as I have seen it before. Any information and or resources to direct me to would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
When trying to link to an SQL table in Access 2003, the software appears to be malfunctioning.
The sequence of events is File - Get External Data - Link Tables - Files of Type: ODBC Databases().
The Problem: On two of my computers, the select data source window does not pop up, preventing me from linking to any ODBC data source.
Observations: This function has worked normally in the recent past and works on other computers running Access 2003. One difference between the computers working and non-working computers is Norton Antivirus 2006 (recent upgrade).
Has anyone experienced anything like this? What's going on?
I have created an Access2003 project (existing data) that links to external data. First I connected to a SQL Server 2000 database. Success. Then I tried to set up a Transact SQL data connection to a legacy MDW-secured Access97 database. (A third-party VB6 application goes against it, and we don't have the source code, so we cannot upgrade it.)
The Transact SQL link tests OK but I cannot select any of the tables or queries from the list presented. However, with the same credentials, I can use these same objects in Excel 2003.
When setting up the link in Access2003, I specify JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider, I enter the MDW file on the All tab, a username and a password on the Connection tab where I browse to the MDB file, and specify Shared Deny None on the Advanced tab. When I test the connection, it tests OK ("Test connection succeeded"). Yet on the "Select the Database and Table/Cube which contains the data you want" dialog, "(Default)" appears in the grayed-out dropdown. Then, beneath that dropdown, there is a grid with Name and Description columns. The grid contains query names but the grid is not enabled. The list of queries is this table is grayed out. Neither of the scrollbars works.
BUT... if I use the SAME username and password in Excel2003, and specify the same MDW, there is no problem working with these same database objects in the legacy Access97 database. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE WIZARD IN EXCEL THAT ALLOWS IT TO SUCCEED AND THE WIZARD IN ACCESS THAT CAUSES IT TO FAIL HERE? In Excel, the list of available providers says Microsoft Access Driver, not JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
Thanks

I'm a long-time Access developer who is looking to migrate his approach to SQL Server CE 3.5 instead of having all these MDBs. One thing that I do like is using Access to surf through databases; it's a lightweight way to see the data without having to fire up the overhead of Visual Studio etc. Plus there's the QBE grid for easy query design for those of us whose tool-less SQL coding is a bit rusty...
Anyway, I was wondering whether it was possible to "attach" to a SSCE database so you can see it in Access. I've tried but haven't found a way of doing it. Any thoughts? Or is this an intentional lack of capability so we have to use a more robust tool such as Management Studio or Visual Studio?
Thanks in advance!
I'm working on a report to show financial transactions from a table over a certain period. For most transactions there is a PDF document that is stored in a separate table in a binairy format. In my report I would like to include a link on every line with transaction information in the report that opens the PDF that is linked to that transaction. Just to be clear, I don't want to embed the PDF in the report but I want the users of the report to have the option to view the PDF that is related to that transaction in their standard pdf reader (adobe).
Code to do the following:
Once a user clicks on the link to view the PDF I need the code to get the binairy data of the PDF file from the table, convert it back to a PDF and open it in the default pdf reader (for example adobe reader). If it can't directly open the file then it's maybe possible to activate the 'open or download' pop up that you also get when you download something from a website.

Tell me please how can I make a foreing key constraint for a table using from another not all primary key or not all data. For example, I need to link a table "subject" with primary key "dscp_num, depart" using depart as a foreing key. But there is no table with such primary key, there is only table "codif_values" where selecting records by condition "codif_num = 1" gives the relation with necesary primary key to link. Also I need to link "subject" table as a primary key table with the table "ses_curr". But this table doesn't include "depart" field. It includes field "reg_num" that is a primary key in table "students". This table include field "stgroup" as a foreing key for table "groups". The last table includes "speciality" field that is a foreing key for table "specialities". And only this table includes "depart" field. Tell me please how I can make a foreing key constraint for table "ses_curr" by table "subject".

I'm trying to find how to link to an Access table from within SQL Server. I know I have seen it once, but can not remember where I saw it. I'm using SQL Server 2005. TIA,
View 5 Replies View RelatedUsing an MS A2K front end running on WinXP and ODBC connections to SQLServer 7 on Win 2K server; there are about 10 users who access thefront end via Terminal Server and use the same front end; there areabout another 10 users who run a copy of the db on their local machine.SQL server has 2 databases, with approx. 20 tables between them (oneis for processing ckts from a remote sql server for local use, theother is a site database).There is one user that always has to refresh the same single table eachtime a release of the db is copied to his local machine. Once thetable is refreshed in link manager, the front end is good to go...untilthe the next release is made (about every 2 months--for changes inbusiness rules). We have gone and checked his WINS and DNS settingsand at this point, the only difference between other users and this onewho can't get the table normally, is that he is using a different brandmachine (he uses a toshiba satellite, all others use a ibm thinkpad).Since purchasing a new laptop for him is out of the question, doesanyone have a suggestion for correcting this problem?TIA for the help,EricO.

Hi I need to know if it is possible to write on a table from another database and this using a stored procedure. If yes what is the correct syntax to connect to the other database.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi'm pretty familiar w/ mysql, but relatively new to ms sql. Since i can do a lot more w/ ms sql, I have been trying to do all tasks in sql queries or scripts, but i'm stumped on this one. I have a table that links two things together. t1 has rows id1 and id2. When a row has these two id's, there is a "link" between them. I'm trying to make a command or script that will see if there is only 2 links for any given id.
for example, it would loop through each row, and run this command:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Expr1
FROM links
WHERE (Id1 = this_rows_id1) OR (Id2 = this_rows_id1)
and again w/ id2
and then i would be interested in any row that only had a count of 2. is this possible?
I am designing a database schema where several tables have one-to-many relationships to records in other tables. One way to implement it is to create a link table for each pair of tables that have a relationship:
identity
Table1_ID
Table2_ID
1
12
9
2
12
15
3
18
42With the SQL 2005 support for the XML data type, there is the possibility of storing the IDs in an XML column. The XML stored with a record (equivalent to record 12 from the above example) might look like this:
<Links>
<Table2_LinkType>
<ID>9</ID>
<ID>15</ID>
</Table2_LinkType>
<Table8_LinkType>
. . .
</Table8_LinkType>
</Links>The XML column method has the advantage of not requiring that a separate table be created but does not enforce referential integrity. The link table method has the advantage of allowing constraints to enforce referential integrity but has the disadvantage of requiring the creation of a separate table for each pair of tables having a relationship and joining to an additional table has performance implications. Implementing standard Add, List and Delete operations for the link table method is straightforward. As a test and to familiarize myself with the new XML features, I created Set, List and Delete stored procedures for the XML method. Both methods will work.
In deciding which method to go with are there any other issues I should be considering besides database integrity, complexity and possible performance issues?
From the standpoint of best practices and coding standards is one method preferred over the other?
Here is some additional information. The data set I will be working with has table sizes numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Any given record will only be linked to at most a half-dozen records in any other table.
I searched on-line for information and I was able to find plenty of good articles discussing how to use the new XML data type in SQL. However, I was not able to find any information on when not to use the XML data type over equivalent joined-table methods.
Dear all,

"An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file E:d drivedocAssignmentProgramming ProjectProgrammingSourceApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share. "
How can I solve this problem? I think it is an absoultue address and logical address problem. Thanks a lot.

Hi All,
Can somebody please help me, how to create database link to Oracle from MsSqlServer200.
Ex:
If I want to view data in both databases at a time then query would be like the following:
dblink name : SqltoOraclelink
table Name : EMP (this could be available in both the databases)
query in MsSqlServer200 EnterpriseManger:
select empname, empno from EMP msemp, emp@SqltoOracle oraemp where msemp.empname = oraemp.empname
Then this query results the rows from both the databases where empname is same in both the tables
My question is: How can I create this Database link "SqltoOraclelink" as I can do the same thing in Oracle.
As this is in urgency, it would be greate if somebody help us asap.
Thanks in Anticipation,
Regards,
