How To Setup Linked Servers With SQL Managment Studio
Dec 29, 2007
Hi Everyone,
I am using SQL Server 2005 with SQL Management Studio.
What I am trying to do is move tables and stored procedures from one database on one server to another database which is on a different server. Essentially, I am trying to move tables and stored procedures from a database on my local computer to a database on our staging server I was told the best way to do this would be to use a linked server. I have been trying to set one up using managment studio but right clicking on server-object and choosing 'new ---> Linked Server' but I have not been able to successfully create the connection.
Can anyone out there explain me to me how to setup the linked server using SQL 2005 Management Studio?
I received the trial 2005 Enterprise edition software to give 2005 a shot. Everything installed fine but no Managment Studio to interface with it. All the documentation I read (like this http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174173.aspx ) just expects the software to be there.
I can't find it as a download. Does anyone know what the deal is?
Until now I was using SQLServer Express edition and whenever I wanted to log in Management Studio In the Server Name section I used to wirte MyComputernameSQLExpress
but now I'm going to use Enterprise edition
what should I write in the Server Name section to log in Management studio??
So I installed standard edition of sql server x64 and sp2.
I can only find configuration tools in "All Programs/Microsoft SQL Server 2005/Configuration Tools/4 applications", I give all rights etc to my user, but where is managment studio..?
I'm running into an issue that only occurs on Vista machines against a SQL Server 2005. We have a table with a varbinary(MAX) column in which we store a csv/xls/xml file. When I perform a 'select * from my_table' within Management Studio the column data returned is sporadic...some rows are filled out and some are not. When performed on an XP machine all of the data is returned (every row's column is filled out). Is this a known issue? I tried searching for it but didn't find anything.
I have a database with an update trigger, which shows up under the Triggers object in the database tree. When I modify the item and try to save it it prompts me for a disk location to save the query. I then reopen the item on the db tree, and it shows the old code. What am I doing wrong?
Presumably an easy question but every time I open a query file the SSMS requires me to login. Very frustrating. Cannot find a configuration option, properties attribute or other to turn this off. Can anyone adivse how I can set up SMSS to require a login at the beginning of the session and then not again for each saved query I open?
i have created a sql database in visual studio pro and now i would like to connect to that database in SQL server managamenet studio. so when i start SQL server i connect to the same instance as my database (wich is .SQLEXPRESS) but i can't find my database in the object explorer?

I just created a stored procedure in SQL Server 2005 management studio. I went to my db and expanded the programmability folder then right clicked the stored procedures folder and created a stored procedure. I saved the procedure as sp_getDistance in the default folder SQL managment studio picked. Now when I went back to that stored procedure folder I did not see my stored procedure sp_getDistance, all that was there was the system stored procedure folder. Did I save the stored procedure in the wrong place, or what did I do wrong. I can't find the procedure anywhere, its just sitting in my My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioProjectssp_getDistance.sql folder. Thanks,Kyle Spitzer

I've created a new database and restored the database from a backup. I'm wanting to import raw data from an excel spreadsheet into the tables of the new database.
When I right click on the database, and hover over tasks the import/ export data menu options are not in the menu.The menu items ends at 'Generate Scripts'.
I'm connected on a local instance to a registered server.
i have made some Data Mining Model Examples in Excel 2007 (not temporarily!). They where there after leaving an re-opening Excel. I have used them several times. Then I want to look, if I can see them also via SQL Server Managment Studio in the Analysis Services. There where nothing in the DMAddInDB in Analysis Services.
And after this, in Excel my DataMining Models have disappeared and all Models i have made since this disappeared also.
Perhaps I have destroyed the database. But will this happen every time? Can I share Data Mining Models I have made with Excel with Projects in SQL Server Analysis Services?
I download and install SQL Server Express release version.(Install successfully) Then I install the new tool "Management Studio Express", and I use it to connect to an instance SQL Server to manage a database.(Install successfully)

After i want to open one more time the tool Management Studio BUT ANYTHING. If I uninstall books online and then try again to open Management tool it pass.
What is the problem with new tool??
Why when i install books online I cannot open again Management Studio??

I'm having a strange problem with this but I know (and admit) that the problem is on my PC and nowhere else. My firewall was causing a problem because I was unable to PING the database server, switching this off gets a successful PING immediately. The most useful utility to date is running netstat -an in the command window. This illustrates all the connections that are live and ports that are being listed to. I can establish a connection both by running
TCP 81.105.102.47:1134 217.194.210.169:1433 ESTABLISHED

Both these utilities show as establishing a connection in netstat so I am able to connect the database server every time, this worked throughout yesterday and has continued this morning.
The problem is when I attempt to use SQL Server Management Studio. When I attempt to connect to tcp:sql5.hostinguk.net, 1433 nothing shows in netstat at all. There is an option to encrypt the connection in the connection properties tab in management studio, when I enable this I do get an entry in netstat -an, see below:
Amost as if it's trying the different ports but you get this time_wait thing. The error message is more meaningful and hopefull because I get:
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I would expect this as the DNS has not been advised to encrypt the conection.
This is much better than the : Login failed for user 'COX10289'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider) that I get, irrespective of whether I enter a password or not.
This is on a XP machine trying to connect to the remote webhosting company via the internet.
I can ping the server
I have enabled shared memory and tcp/ip in protocols, named pipes and via are disabled
I do not have any aliases set up
No I do not force encryption
I wonder if you have any further suggestions to this problem?
We are told that we cannot get remote access on our DB servers , can access them only via SQL management studio. But we are the one's who will be restoring all our DB's from current setup to new servers.
My Question:
1. Can we restore the DB's directly via SQL Management studio(from other server where management studio is installed) without logging into the DB server.
2. How do we set the mdf/ldf file paths, assuming we have elevated access on the DB. Is this possible?.
can anybody tell me about Linked Servers and their uses and how to add a linked server to my Sql Server 2005. any help on this would be highly appreciated.
I have been trying to Link two sql servers on two different machines over the Internet without any luck. Can someone point me to information about doing this with good examples?
I currently have a main SQL Server which had a column on the majority of the tables. This column also had a check contraint on it. I dropped the column and the constraint and I now get the following message when trying to query the tables through a linked server 'OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata. An extra column was supplied during execution that was not found at compile time.'.
Hi All, I have successfully linked a server and had SQL queries running OK for a few weeks, but today I get the following message....
"OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata. An extra column was supplied during execution that was not found at compile time." (Server: Msg 7353, Level 16, State 1, Line 1)
I've dropped the link and recreated it but I still get the same error message. Can anyone help???
I have a DTS package that requires me to link 2 servers and query both in order to get my set of records that I want to Transform. My query runs fine in QA. I copy and paste it into the SQL Query window of the transformation. I click Preview and all that happens is a quick flicker of the DTS window. When I go to Transformations, there are no source columns.
Here is a copy of my code that I'm trying to use: ------------------------------------------------------- declare@start_dteas datetime, @end_dteas datetime
SELECTT70.* FROM CRMDEV02.MDCORE.DBO.T70_MD_UNIVERSE_RELATIONSHIP_M A NGT AS T70 JOIN #RUNS ONT70.RUN_ID = #RUNS.RUN_ID
DROP TABLE #RUNS ------------------------------------------------------ Is there an issue with Linked Servers and DTS? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Gurus, I am looking for literature to find out Pros and Cons of Using DTS Verses Linked Servers in SQL 7.0.
My requirement can be done by either DTS or Linked servers. But I would like to know more about resorce utilisation of these tecniques before making a decission.
When I create linked server using integrated security and <they will be impersonated> option I get this: Server: Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 1 Login failed for user '' MS Technet says that SQL Server 7 doesn't allow double hops and to use mappings to standard security login to work around. @#%%~~@@#@#&^%@# Impersonating to version 6.5 works fine. Is there any way to link servers using ONLY integrated security? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
