The following T-SQL 2005 snippet executes a remote sproc on an Oracle database.
DECLARE @OutParam VARCHAR(5)
EXEC ('{Call getnextpin(1)}') AT ALTTEST
GetNextPin takes a single input parameter.
I need to modify the above code snippet to return the next PIN number into @OutParam.
Any ideas?
Any help appreciated.

Hello,
I am having trouble with a SPROC and I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems. I have a web form where users enter in a large amount of text, the web app saves that data via a SPROC into a varchar(8000) field in a SQL table. However, any amount of text beyond 255 gets cut off. I have double checked and tested my code and I dont seem to find the problem. Below is the beginning of my SPROC and as you can see, I have the correct data type and length. I have also verified the data type and length on the table and it is set at varchar(8000). Any ideas?
SPROC CODE
-----------------------------------------------
CREATE PROCEDURE Add_ProductsReview
(
@Pros varchar(100) = null,
@Cons varchar(100) = null,
@Title varchar(100),
@Body varchar(8000) -- This is the parameter with problems
)
AS......
Thanks!

I recently updated the datatype of a sproc parameter from bit to tinyint. When I executed the sproc with the updated parameters the sproc appeared to succeed and returned "1 row(s) affected" in the console. However, the update triggered by the sproc did not actually work.
The table column was a bit which only allows 0 or 1 and the sproc was passing a value of 2 so the table was rejecting this value. However, the sproc did not return an error and appeared to return success. So is there a way to configure the database or sproc to return an error message when this type of error occurs?
Hi,

Hello all SQL Server 7 gurus,
I need your help!!! I can use SELECT to query a table on the remote server but
I can't use UPDATE,DELETE OR INSERT. Please tell me how to get around this problem.
Thanks in advance.
PS. The remote server is added by using sp_addlinkedserver
I need to be able to query remote server tables and join them to local tables. Thought that linked server would be best so that I can use local stored procs for parameters if needed. I have no administrative control over remote server. I have been given select permissions only to one db on remote server. Both servers are sql2000, local machine has spk3.
I have established the remote server in network client utility. I can register the remote server in EM, look at tables. I can run select statements against the remote server in QA when I log in and specify that server. I can reference an odbc data connection with web pages and display rowsets.
Next, I created a linked server under security, using sql (since it's an sql 2000 db) with the same name used above in the client utility and the em. I created a local login with the same name and password as the login used successfully above (Paragraph 2). On the security tab, I've used sa as the local login and entered the remote user and password, using the default 'be made without using a security context'. When I try to view the tables (which I can do through registered) or run this through QA:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(CASCE, 'SELECT person_pk, lastname FROM dbName.dbo.tblName (NOLOCK)'),
I get: sql error 17: sql server does not exist or access denied
If I edit security, wipe out the top settings and specify the security context below using the login information, same thing. Tried messing around with different security contexts, no help or ole db error.
Any help? In addition, any tutorials out there a little more user friendly than the bol? I think I want to use the linked server option and stored procs.
I currently have the statistical median operation implemented via a sproc. However, I'm having some issues now that I went to get at it. For example, I have another sproc which returns various information for a set of employees' salaries - avg, high, low, median. I can compute the 1st three using built in functions, but of course median I must use my own sproc.
Apparently you can't execute a sproc from a sproc and automagically get the input. You must use the OUTPUT command, along with OUTPUT variables. Now my question:
Is it better to use a UDF to do this or a sproc? Also, what kind of UDF (very new to UDF and TSQL in general). I tried to implement a scalar based one, but I need to create a query string in the function (there are conditiaional requirements to consider), which it doesn't seem to allow. Thanks!

Hello can some one explain this to me and give me some advice. I have sqlserver1 and sqlserver2 I have a linked server set up [ipaddress] on both servers. When I pass a variable to the stored proc or the query it takes up to 20 seconds to return 1 row but if I replace my varibles like email='sqlboy@coxnet' and firstname='ted' and lastname='clien' it returns the one row im looking for in about 2 seconds but if I pass email =@email ,fname=@fname,lname=@lname I get the 20 second thing. The query is a stored proc being called from an asp app. I get the same results when I run this in query analyzer.
Here is the query.

Hi Everybody,
Can anyone tell me what is the difference between Remote Server and Linked Servers.
thks in advance,
Srinivasan.
I have created a linked server (to an AS/400) via MSDASQL. It works fine when I execute queries locally (i.e. from Management Studio running on the SQL 2005 server).
However, when I execute a query from a remote machine I get an error (see below for the exact message).
I know the ODBC connection is between the SQL server and the AS/400, and that the remote client does not have connectivity to the AS/400. But shouldn't the SQL server be able to pass the query through to the linked server even if the query is initiated from a remote machine?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can resolve this problem so that queries against the linked server can be executed from remote machines?
Errors:
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MERCURY" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MERCURY" returned message "[IBM][iSeries Access ODBC Driver]Key value in connection string too long.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MERCURY".

Hello,
I created a linked server in sql server 2005 which links to a AS400 DB. I use ODBC driver.
For some tables, it return all data but for another tables, it only return part of the rows.
How it may happen?
Thanks
I have an Oracle 9i server. To access the data in Oracle, I setup an ODBC connection to it and am able to return data from it using WinSQL (a general ODBC database client). The SQL statement is simply "SELECT * FROM COLOR" and all 133 records returned properly.
I need to copy the data from the Oracle server to SQL Express, therefore I set up linked server (by Microsoft ODBC provider) using the same ODBC connection as described above.
The problem is: only 32 records returned.
May I ask if there is any problem to this linked server setup?
Thanks.
Is there any way to find out the password for the remote login of the Linked server
View 1 Replies View RelatedCan someone please shed some light on what seems to me to be a common requirement.
If I create an alias or linked server to Server1 - say Alias1 - on Server1 and then use that name in a query on Server1, a remote/distributed query is always used (even though we are running on the local server and that overhead is completely unnecessary).
Is SQL Server really not capable of deciding that
select * from Alias1.db1.dbo.table1
and
select * from Server1.db1.dbo.table1
should be optimized and executed exactly the same when Alias1 is Server1, but that it is a distributed query ONLY when Alias1 is really referring to a remote server? I realize that the four part name is not necessary when I am referring to objects on the current server, but I am trying to write code that is server instance independent.
It just seems that if that is not possible, then the only way to create system independent stored procs that can run in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers is to create all sorts of scripts to regenerate all the procs whenever you move a database between servers?
If SQL Server is even close to the enterprise big iron server that MS now claims it is, it surely needs to support running in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers?!
I'm really looking for someone to tell me I'm missing something simple, and of course you can do this - but complex workarounds are invited too :-)
This is not something I am investigating as an academic exercise, I am already doing this, but I have to figure out how to do it better because with all these unnecessary distributed queries, performance is horrible.
I have 2 servers: #1 -- SQL 2005 SP1 publisher ; #2 -- SQL 2005 SP2 subscriber
originally I had #1 as pub and dist but dist but killing my CPU so I was in the process of moving the dist to #2... Got it all configured and when I tried to add #2 as a dist for #1 it fails when I get to the administrative password screen... It give me an error about how it cannot connect with the given password but under that is says linked server failed.
Since it mentioned linked server I tried to connect via the previous linked server to #2 and it failed... I cannot connect to #2 anymore from #1. I can login directly to #2 and I can use osql to connect to #2 but linked server does not work. I tried all drivers and many configurations...
Any ideas??
Hi guys,
I am trying to call a function from a remote sql server (linked server) using the following syntax:
select [ServerName].[dbName].dbo.CLRHelloWorld('SomeMessage'). I am getting the following error:
The object name '[ServerName].[dbName].dbo.' contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 2.
I need to call this function remotely and using this syntax; I don't want to use OPENQUERY...
Any hints?

I have a database that is off site, it has a database one it that I have a Linked server connection to. We have no other means of connecting to that server database except via that linked server connection. Is there a way I can Copy eplicatemoves etc... that database to an internal server with out doing it table by table. It is apx 80gig db
Copying a backup file is not an option either, and Mailing it on media make it a significant delay.
Hi,I used sp_addlinkedserver to link to a remote server through ODBC.When I execute select count(*) from LinkSrv.SI.DBO.SIHeader in SQL QueryAnalyzer. It returns 13705 records. But when I execute select * fromLinkSrv.SI.DBO.SIHeader. It only return 885 records. If I specify somecolumns, select ODCOMP, ODPONO, ODVDCD from LinkSrv.SI.DBO.SIHeader.It returns more records, 1213 records.I guess there is something limit the return storage, but I can notfind it.Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you
View 3 Replies View RelatedError below was returned from an agent job:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server returned message "Query timeout expired". [SQLSTATE 01000]
A linked Server was set up against a remote database to backup a database and it runs perfectly well when executed directly against the remote server but returns the above error when set up through Sql Server Agent. Permissions are good as the step returns success. I reset the query timeout property to zero but error persist. What else should I be looking at to make this work?
i did "Linked server" between To Servers , and it's Working.

For Example :
Server 1 =S1.
Server = S2.
i create table in S1 : name = TblS1
i create same table in S2 : name TblS2

how i can execute this trigger
UPDATE CD SET col1=SR.col1,col2=SR.col2,col3=SR.col3,col4=SR.col4,col5=SR.col5,col6=SR.col6,col7=SR.col7,
col8=SR.col8,col9=SR.col9,col10=SR.col10
FROM LNKSQL1.db1.DBO.Table1 CD
join Table2 USRI on USRI.col00 = CD.col00
join table3 SR on USRI.col00 = SR.col00
Here, I'm trying to tun this from an instance and do a remote update. col00 is a primary key and there is a clustered index that exists on this column. When I run this query, it does a 'select * from tabl1' on the remote server and that table has about 60 million rows. I don't understand why it would do a select *... Also, we migrated to SQL 2005 a week or so back but before that everything was running smooth. I dont have the execution plan from before but this statement was fast. Right now, I can't run this statement at all. It takes about 37 secs to do one update. But if I did the update on a local server doing remote joins here, it would work fine. When I tried to show the execution plan, it took about 10 mins to show up an estimated plan and 99% of the time was spent on Remote scan. Please let me know what I can do to improve my situation. Thank you
In an ASP, I have a dynamically created SQL statement that amounts to "SELECT * FROM Server1.myDB.dbo.myTable WHERE Col1 = 1" (Col1 is the table's primary key). It returns the data immediately when executed.
However, when the same record is updated with "UPDATE Server1.myDB.dbo.myTable SET Comments = 'blah blah blah' WHERE Col1 = 1", the page times out before the query can complete.
I watched the program in Profiler, and I saw on the update that sp_cursorfetch was being executed as an RPC once per each row in the table. In a table of 78000 records, the timeout occurs well before the last record is fetched, and the update bombs.
I can run the same statements in Query Analyzer from a linked server and have the same results. The execution plan shows that a Remote Query is occurring on the select that returns 1 row, and a Remote Scan is taking place on the update scanning 78000 rows (I guess this is where all the sp_cursorfetch calls are happening...?).
How can I prevent the Remote Scan? How can I prevent the execution of the RPC sp_cursorfetch for each row in the remote table?
Thank you!
Hi,
I am trying to return [string/SqlString] from a CLR function, but it was truncated at 8000 characters.
How can I solve this problem and return varchar(MAX)?
Thanks
I'm documenting various server configurations such as linked and remote servers. Rather then clicking on each linked and remote server to view their properties I am trying to query sysservers. According to BOL, the column isremote is 1 if server is a remote server, else 0 if server is a linked server. When I query sysservers I see just the opposite. Is BOL wrong or am I missing something? Through Enterprise Manager I see 3 remote servers and 13 linked servers. syssservers shows 3 servers with isremote = 0 and 13 servers with isremote = 1.
Also, I understand remote servers are provided for backward compatibility. If that is the case, why is the default instance listed under remote server and not linked server. Also, why does replication list repl_distribution under remote server and in some cases the subscriber server is also listed under remote servers.
Thanks, Dave

These represent processes, and sub tasks. So I want to return the highest process and its highest task and sub task.
I have a written a dll in 2.0 that calls a webservice.
This webservice is used to authenticate users in Active Directory. I created a assembly to that calls this dll because of the diverse languages versions that will use it (from asp,vb6 on up) and all can get values from a stored procedure that calls that assembly. I works great. Until now, I have to add another function to my dll that calls the webservice and returns the Users Full name from Active directory for electronic signitures. Okay I added to the dll then tried to reconstruct my Assembly and stored procedures and recieved the following error. "CREATE PROCEDURE failed because a CLR Procedure may only be defined on CLR methods that return either SqlInt32, System.Int32, void"
I want to keep all these Active directory call all in one place so I can be consistant in all the different applications. I was reading about UDF but that could get messy as I have a config file for the dll that allows the user to dynamically change the url for the webservice. Any suggestions/help will be greatly appreciated
