Instructions For Setting Up A Sybase ASE Server As A SQL Server 2005 Linked Server?
Dec 28, 2005
I have a Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise server which I need to set up as a linked server in SQL Server 2005. The Sybase server is version 12.5.2, and the Sybase ODBC driver version is 4.20.00.67. I have already installed the Sybase client software on the server.
I also created a SystemDSN on the SQL Server to connect to the Sybase server. I tested the connection and it was able to connect.
I ran the following code to create the linked server:
<code>
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'LinkedServerName', @srvproduct=N'Sybase', @provider=N'MSDASQL', @datasrc=N'Sybase System DSN', @provstr=N'"Provider=Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider;Server Name=servername,5000;Initial Catalog=databasename;User Id=username;Password=password"'
</code>
I then ran sp_tables_ex to make sure I could view the tables in the Sybase database. Here is the error message I get:
<code>
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "LinkedServerName" returned message "[DataDirect][ODBC Sybase Wire Protocol driver]Error parsing connect string at offset 13. ".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 41
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "LinkedServerName".
</code>
Any ideas what is happening here?

Hi,
We have been accessing databases on ASE 12.5 (on HPUX) from MS SQL Server 2000 (x32) successfully for years. We do this via linked servers we create on MS SQL Server. When creating the linked server, we would specify the Microsoft OLE Provider for ODBC as the provider, and the data source is the name of a DSN created with the Sybase ASE ODBC driver (4.20.00.67) that points the the HPUX box on which are the Sybase databases.
We have also gotten this to work just fine on MS SQL Server 2005 (x32) Standard Edition SP1. However, we cannot seem to get this to work on MS SQL Server 2005 (x64) Enterprise Edition SP1. The Microsoft OLE DB Provider is not available as an option when creating the linked server on MS SQL Server 2005 (x64). We have tried specifying the SQL Native Client as the provider, but this results in no connection being made and reports the following error:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "GCMTESTSQLNATIVE" returned message "Login timeout expired".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "GCMTESTSQLNATIVE" returned message "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.".
Msg 53, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53].
Do we need to use a different ASE driver when accessing Sybase databases fom the MS SQL Server (x64) platform? Or is there a way to successfully create a linked server on MS SQL Server 2005 (x64) that can communicate with the 32-bit ASE ODBC driver?
Thanks,
Rocco M.

Hi,
I have setup a linked server to a DB2 database using "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers",
the connections works fine i am able to run select queries.
but the number of rows returned from the two following statements are different.
select * from linkedserver...tablename
select count(*) from linkedserver...tablename
e.g. The First statement returns 116 rows, whereas the second query returns count as 144....
I am a bit confused ?????
could anybody think of any possible reasons..
Cheers

:confused:
How do I tap advanced functionality like #temptable and @var from openquery? There is a linked server from SQL Server 2000 to Sybase 12 using Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider.
Executing an openquery statement from MS SQL will retrieve Sybase data; however, I have no advanced functionality available. When I try to use temporary #tables or declare @vars it returns this error...
Server: Msg 7357, Level 16, State 2, Line 1, Could not process object '…OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: OLE DB provider unable to process object, since the object has no columnsProviderName='Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider', Query=…
Linked Server configuration:
Provider options: AllowInProcess is checked
Server options: Collation Compatible, Data Access, RPC and RPC Out are checked
Does anyone have a suggestion or alternative for this functionality? Thank you very much for your input.

We have created linked servers that connect to Sybase databases using the Sybase OLE DB provider and the Sybase ODBC provider.
The OLE DB provider does not allow the execution of a stored procedure. The message sounds like a permissions issue, but the id specified in the linked server has execute priv. for the stored procedure. It also does not allow the fully qualified name <server>.<db>.<owner>.<obj> to be used.
There are other issues with OLD DB and ODBC.
Anyone have any experiences making MS SQL to Sybase work smoothly?

Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "ASEOLEDB" for linked server "[SERVER_NAME]"
The current setup: Our primary database is on Sybase, I needed to extract hierarchical (nested) XML from multiple tables on Sybase. Although Sybase ASE 15.5 has `FOR XML` query capability it does now allow nested XML format. So we used the 'FOR XML', XML functionality in SQL Server (as we had a SQL Server 2008 database available which is used for a smaller system) to query Sybase tables through a Linked Server connection.Our sample nested XML Format is similar to:
<personCol>
<person>
<id>1111</id>
<name>John</name>
<age>21</age>
<sex>M</sex>
[code]....

I would like to create a linked server from SQL Server to Sybase IQ. I have created linked servers before so I know how to do that. However, I dont know the specifics of creating a linked server to Sybase IQ.
What are the parameters that are necessary to link IQ to SQL Server. Which Provider do I use? Do I need to install a special driver?

Has anyone had problems using an OLEDB linked server connection to Sybase ASE 12.5? I'm having major performance problems when I use string criteria in the where clause. Queries that return 1 row and execute in less than a second using a native Sybase connection take 40 seconds to run using the linked server OLEDB connection. If I use ints in the where clause performance is almost exactly the same between native and linked connections.
Any ideas???

Hi all,
Iīm trying to create a linked server to a Sybase database (.db file) so i can create some reports in sql 2005 (with Reporting Services and Report Designer). After reading all articles I did the following.
1) Installe Adaptive Server Anyhwere (Interactive Sql) 9.0.2 on the server.
2) Created a USER DSN to the Db file (Control Panel - odbc connections) and it works fine: The Settings for the ODBC are:
ODBC Tab
Data Source Name: dbNOM
Login Tab
Supply userID and Password: (selected)
User ID: DBA
Password: SQL
Database Tab
Server Name: dbNOM
StartLine: C:Program FilesSybaseSQL Anywhere 9win32dbeng9.exe
Database Name: (blank)
Database File: c:Project FolderDataBase.db
As I said, when i go for "test connection", works fine.
3) Sql Management Studio - Object Explorer - Server Objects - New Linked Server, with settings as following:
General
Linked Server: lkDbNom
Server Type: Other Data Source
Provider: Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere Provider 9.0
Product Name: Sybase
Product Name: dbNom (the dsn name, right?)
Security
Be made using this security context.- Remote Login: DBA; Password: SQL (same as DSN)
All other settings, as default, click in OK and shows no errors (aparently it creates the linked server successfully). But when i try to query the linked server with:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY ('SYBASE', 'SELECT * FROM nom_Robot')
And i get the following message:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'SYBASE'.
Even better, if i go to the Object Explorer - Server Objects, i test the connection and itīs ok, but when i try to retrieve the catalog an error displays:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------
Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&LinkId=20476
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
------------------------------
The OLE DB provider "ASAProv.90" for linked server "SYBASE" reported an error. Access denied.

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=09.00.3054&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=7399&LinkId=20476
So, i really donīt understand what is missing in my linked server, i tried with MDASQL (OLEDB for ODBC) but it doesnīt even completes to create the linked server.
The database file is ok because, because in another server (one that doesnīt have SQL, only visual studio) i did the following:
1) Installe Adaptive Server Anyhwere (Interactive Sql) 9.0.2 on the server.
2) Created a DSN to the Db file, and it works fine. (copied the db file, so is local, no remote access), exactly the same setting as i did on the sql 2005 server.
3) Created a connection in visual studio 2008 (server explorer - data connections), i can retrieve sdata...but of course the provider is .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC and i cannot use the same connection string.
Any ideas?
P.S.

I am having trouble linking to a Sybase server using the ODBC OLEDB provider, with either the sp_addlinkedserver stored proc, or the "linked servers" wizard in Enterprise manager.
The SQL I am executing is:
/* add server */
exec sp_addlinkedserver
@Server = 'Linked Server Name',
@srvproduct = 'Sybase System 11',
@Provider = 'MSDASQL',
@provstr = 'Driver={INTERSOLV 3.11 32-BIT Sybase};SRVR=servername;DB=targetdatabase;UID=bob; PWD=bob;'
/* create security mapping */
exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = 'Linked Server Name',
@useself = 'false',
@rmtuser = 'bob',
@rmtpassword = 'bob'
(Note that this does not use a DSN - I have tried it both ways, but with no joy).
The SQL executes without any errors or warnings. However, when I try to use the linked server connection (eg., visually list the tables available by double clicking the linked server in the Enterprise Manager, or Select * From a table in the Query Analyser) it give the following error:
"Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error."
(That is - generic error)
It just seems that I am not putting the connect string components in the right places.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to set up a linked server to Sybase in this this way?
Many TIA

help...
i successfully linked the sybase database to sqlserver. at first i can select a record, after i execute the same statement the result become different. i was looking for answer in the web but i can't find one. can somebody help me...
i suspect that sqlserver cache the result.. so i try to create a view for sybase database table. when i select the view it gave me the complete result but when i rerun the statement again it became inconsistent.
is there a cache or something in sqlserver. if there is how can i clear it.. so i will always get the fresh copy of the result.

Hi
I have created a linked server from SQL Server 2005 (SP 1) to SQL Service 2000 (SP 4) with a sql server login that is available on both servers but with different passwords and permissions.
I am getting the following error while accessing the linked server in management studio based on the scenario given below ;
------ Error Message Starts
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(SQL Server 2000 instance name)" returned message "Communication link failure".
Msg 10054, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 0
Login failed for user 'abc'.
------ Error Message Ends
Consider login name is abc.
Now this login abc has sysadmin rights on sql server 2005.
The same login abc has only db_datareader rights on sql server 2000 on just one database and is not associated with any fixed server role.
I have configured the linked server using the following options;
1. I have tried impersonating login from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 .
2. I have also tried specifying remote login / password option.
Anyone having any idea, would be of great help.
Regards,
Salman Shehbaz.

Can I connect from a SQL Server 2005 database to a SQL Server 2000 database, without establishing a linked server connection.
I need to fire a SELECT query on a SQL Server 2000 database, but don't want to add it as a linked server. Is there any way I can do this or its not possible??

I am trying to set up a linked server in MSSQL to an IBM AS400 using the IBM AS400 OLE DB Provider. The New Linked Server dialog box asks for properties Product Name and Data Source. I would like to know from someone who has successfully set up a linked server to an AS400 what the specific syntax in the properties needs to be. I have reviewed the OLB section on sp_addlinkedserver, and while this is helpful and gives many specific examples, I need an example for an AS400. Thank you to anyone who can help!

Does anyone know where I can get some good examples of how to set up a linked
server to an Oracle data source in SQL 2000? I can't seem to get a link
set up to my Oracle database. In particular I am wondering how the communication works between OLEDB to the Oracle Instance and how to trouble shoot issues (for example, would is the Oracle Listener what OLEDB is talking to?) Thanks!!

Hi
I have a setup where I need to replicate the database which is actually subscribing from another database. The current setup is all in SQL Server 2000. I need to now setup a Distrbutor on a SQL server 2005 and publish the database using this distributor to another server on SQL server 2000.
Has anybody done this before. If yes what will I need to check. Can you please let me know :-
1) SQL Server 2000 which SP should be installed to support this enviroment.
2) SQL Server 2005 which SP should be installed to support this environment.
3) Any thing that I need to look out for.
Thanks for any inputs on this.

I receive the following error message when I run a distributed query against a loopback linked server in SQL Server 2005:
The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) has cancelled the distributed transaction.
To resolve this problem, I was told that running a distributed query against a loopback linked server is not supported in SQL Server 2005. And I am suggested to use a remote server definition (sp_addserver) instead of a linked server definition to resolve this problem. (Although this is only a temporary resolution, which will deprecate in Katmai)
However, I run into another problem when I use the remote server definition. I receive the following error message:
Msg 18483, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
Could not connect to server 'ServerNameSQL2005' because '' is not defined as a remote login at the server. Verify that you have specified the correct login name.

Hello
SQL 2000: 8.00.2187 x86, 8 way 700mhz, 6GB Ram
SQL 2005: 9.00.3042 IA64 2 Way Dual-Core 1.66Mhz 16 GB ram
Symptoms
Querys to the SQL 2005 box from SQL 2000 work but when the query is parameterised with non-literals (@variables) then the query run on the SQL 2005 box excludes any where clause causing the entire table to be returned to the SQL 200 box. When the query is parameterised using literal values the query is executed on SQL 2005 including the where clause.
At first I thought that the "Collation Compatible" setting was the culprit but setting this to 1 made no difference. Other SQL 2000 boxes work as expected and any queries from these using literal and non-literal parameters.
Please, any ideas?
Working

Not Working (correctly anyway!)

Hello,
I have a development and a production SQL server instance environment set up on 2 independent machines. Each machine is running Windows 2003 for an OS, while each server instance is version SQL Server 2005. On friday, I experienced difficulties querying one environment from the other through linked servers. I would get the error below:
.
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "dev_server". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used
The linked servers had been previously set up and had been running without any issues. Dropping and recreating the linked servers did not help at all, and all attempts to google the error led to accounts of either SQL Server 2005-SQL Server 2000 procedures compatibility or 64 bit - 32 bit compatibily related errors. Neither of the two were relevant as both my environment have the same technology, both hardware and software.
Mysteriously, the linked server worked this morning without any issue at all. One co-worker suggests gremlins are at work, while another figures that my set up had 'checked out for the long weekend'. Unfortunately, neither explanation is plausible, so my quest to find out what could have gone wrong, and hopefully put preventitive measures in place for the future goes on. Does anybody have any idea what the issue could have been?
Thanks,
Simba
