Issues Copying Data To Linked Server

Oct 24, 2005

I'm having an issue with a job that calls a stored procedure. The SP is fairly complicated, but basically creates a temp table, then inserts the records from the temp table into a table on a linked server (via VPN). The basic premise here is that I'm trying to update a web-accessible server from the production server. The funny thing is that the process works correctly for 4 out of 5 companies (company is the only parameter fed to the SP). The company that fails is by far the largest, but the process has worked in the past.

I'm not strong with all the tools available in SQL Server that might help me figure out what's going wrong. In the SQL Server Agent, it simply tells me that the job failed. If I use Query Analyzer and run the SP in Debug mode (if I'm stating that correctly), I get this error for any company I try it for, even companies that run fine (line 51 is the DELETE line):

Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Procedure procStmtDataToReno, Line 51
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.

So I suppose my long-winded question is, how can I determine why this SP fails for the one company? If relevant, the job is simply:

EXEC procStmtDataToReno 'B'

and some snippets of the SP:

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[procStmtDataToReno]

@CoCode as varchar(2)

AS

--various declarations and such

DELETE
FROM [10.1.1.4].OnlineAR.dbo.StatementData
WHERE CompanyID = @CoCode AND (Line1Date < Convert(varchar(10), GETDATE() - 60, 101) OR Line1Date >= Convert(varchar(10), GETDATE() - 5, 101) )

--code to build temp table

INSERT INTO [10.1.1.4].OnlineAR.dbo.StatementData
SELECT * FROM #Statement
GO

TIA

Copying Table From Local To Linked Server

Feb 17, 2004

Hi,

I'm trying to copy all the data from a single table across to a remote linked server and I'm having all sorts of problems.

The SQL query I'm attampting is this:-


Code:


EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'GODZILLA', N'SQL Server'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'GODZILLA', 'False', 'rmtUser', 'lclUser', 'password'
Go

--DELETE TABLE
DROP TABLE GODZILLA.Racing.dbo.horse

--SELECT INTO
SELECT horse_id, horse_filename, horse_time, horse_new, horse_driveLetter
INTO GODZILLA.Racing.dbo.horse

FROM Racing.dbo.horse

EXEC sp_droplinkedsrvlogin 'GODZILLA', 'lclUser'
EXEC sp_dropserver 'GODZILLA'




Basically - this doesn't work as an error is returned:-


Code:


The object name 'GODZILLA.Racing.dbo.' contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 2.



Now - it has no problem running a SELECT (ie read-only) query from the remote DB but why does it have a problem with writing? And if thats the issue, why doesn't it say so. Am I going about this the right way???

Please help!

SQL Server 2012 :: Copying Data From One Set Of Tables To Another

Mar 26, 2014

1. Take a subset of data from about 100 tables that have multiple references to other tables in this group of 100 from a first DB.
2. Insert the above data into a second DB, a database that already has data in the 100 tables, while maintaining the correct references.

As a general approach, the best way I can think of doing this is as follows:

1. Create mapping tables for every ID that is referenced in a different table (OldID NewID)
2. Insert the old data into the new table and output the OldID and NewID into the mapping table.
3. Use that mapping data to make sure all tables that use those IDs have the new IDs in DB2.

This approach is extremely labor intensive both on initial implementation and would require a fairly substantial amount of work to maintain going forward.

DTS: Copying Data From Text Files To A SQL Server Table

Sep 10, 2001

Hi all,

I got a situation here.....

From a source table (in SERVER1) I get ids of candidates and from another source (in SERVER2) I get their CVs (text files stored in various Folders). My destination table (in SERVER3) has two fields, CandidateId & CandidateCV.

I have to transfer the data in above fashion for nearly 1 million records.
How can I write a DTS package which picks up the text file from SERVER2 based on the CandidateId which comes from SERVER1? Probably I need some kind of looping mechanism which changes the candidate id & his CV file.

Can anyone help???

Thanks...

Copying Table Data From SQL Server 2005 To SQL Server 2000 - Very Slow When Using OLEDB Source And Destination Sources?

May 8, 2006

An SSIS package to transfer data from a DB instance on SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 is extremely slow. The package uses an OLEDB Source to OLEDB Destination for data transfer which is basically one table from sql server 2005 to sql server 2000. The job takes 5 minutes to transfer about 400 rows at night when there is very little activity on the server. During the day the job almost always times out.

On SQL Server 200 instances the job ran in minutes in the old 2000 package.

Is there an alternative to this. Tranfer Objects task does not work as there is apparently a defect according to Microsoft. Please let me know if there is any other option other than using a Execute 2000 package task or using an ActiveX Script to read records from one source and to insert them into the destination source, which I am not certain how long it might take and how viable will that be?

Any inputs will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

MShah

Error Copying Data To A Remote Sql Server 2005 Database.

Jul 26, 2006

When copying data to a remote SQL2K5 destination from a SQL2K5 source database, both using mixed sql server security mode, my job generates the following error:

[Transfer SQL Server Objects Task] Error: Execution failed with the following error: "Cannot apply value null to property Login: Value cannot be null..".

This occurs after the destination database tables have been truncated and replacement data from the source would begin to copy.

The same process can be successfully completed from the Management studio with a simple data export process. However, when I run the saved package again from the BI interface, I get this error.

My search engine searches have yielded numerous hits of others having the same problem with one microsoft rep indicating it was a bug and would be resolved in sp1. I am working with sp1. Oddly, there is only mention of this in the forums. No KB article from MS addresses the problem and I do not see it addressed elsewhere at sqlservercentral.

It appears that others have switched to Integrated Security and resolved the problem. However, I do not have that option with a remotely hosted database.

Does anyone have any information concerning this problem?

Can See But Cannot Query DB2 Data Via Linked Server

Jun 13, 2001

I have an ODBC DSN that lets me see the data via Access, however, in EM I set up the DB2 server as a linked server using the OLEDB provider for ODBC, with a Linked server name of DB2DB, a product name of MY DB2 connection and the data source of db2 (which is the DSN name)
The Provider string, Location and Catalog I leave blank
Under security, I assign all users to be a valid username/password

I can then see the tables in EM, but when I try to query them in QA I get this

Select * from db2db...customer

Server: Msg 7313, Level 16, State 1 Line 1
Invalid Schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'

I am using SS7.0, and DB2 connect V7.1
I do not have/use SNA server

My actual requirement is to have a job autmatically run every day to copy certain records onto the SQL Server, but the first step is to be able to query the DB2 data

any ideas ? I think I need to enter something in the catalog box, but what ?

thanks in advance.

I am trying to run a select statements against linked server.

Bad news : when I am trying to run a select statement either through stored procedures or directly in SQL analyzer I am receiving error message Object 'linkedservername.databasename.tablename' doesn't exist.

Getting Data Out Of Mysql Using Linked Server

Feb 27, 2007

Good Morning

the available oledb providers for mysql don't seem to work with sqlserver 2005.

So whats the best way these days of exposing data from within sql server from a mysql data base.

What I wanted to do was create a linked server connection to the mysql server using either oledb or odbc, but neither seem to work.

There is a .net provider for mysql, but that won't work to create a linked server connection.

any ideas appreciated.

What I want to do is write some scheduled proceedual sql from within sql server to query some tables in mysql and update some sqlserver tables.

thanks

Cannot See Data From SYS.CONVERSATION_ENDPOINTS Over A Linked Server

May 21, 2007

Hello,



I have a server that is used to query other servers to ensure that things are functioning correctly. On some of our servers we are running ServiceBroker and some of the monitoring involves querying the SYS.CONVERSATION_ENPOINTS view on these servers.

When I query the SYS.CONVERSATION_ENPOINTS view over a linked server it returns zero rows, though when I run the same query locally it returns data. I initially thought it was a permission issue but it seems I can see data across the linked server to other system views within the sys schema (ie sys.all_objects).



Is there something different/special about SYS.CONVERSATION_ENDPOINTS that prevents me from seeing its data across linked servers or have I simply got permission problems.



Thanks



Ian

Copying Data Problem With Export Data Tool

Nov 14, 2007

I Have a problem when copying data from one server to another in Management studio, I need to create and exact copy of the original because of primary key relationships,

Currently when I export the data the data will run through an insert type statement, which means that all PKs are reissued, rather than being duplicated from the original, How can I be sure that the data will be copied exactly how it is on one server to the other.

Error Copying Data Using Data Tranformation Process

Jan 2, 2008

i've created a package that will copy data from an oracle table to a sqlserv table (that table elemenst are identical), when i click on the connecting line between the two connections it executes without any errors, but nothing is copied, when i try to execute the package i'm getting an error... where can i go to find out what's causing the error. There is no error message or number returned from dts, all i get is a red 'x' . There are 1236 records that need to be inserted and when i get the red 'x' it tells me 1236 records have been processed. When i click on tranformations and select test, it works, but since it's a test nothing is actually copied. I've got other packages that i've created that do the same thing with other tables and they work. I tried just copying one record and that worked, so i assumed it must be data dependent, i've checked all the fields and made sure they weren't null, i've checked to make sure there aren't duplicate primary key records. Without knowing what the actual error is I'm stumped ???

SQL Server 2012 :: How To Insert Data Into Table From Linked Server

Nov 19, 2013

I wonder if it possible to move data from tables on a linked server to a "normal database"?

Name linked server: Covas
Name table on linked server: tblCountries
Name field: cntCountryName

Name "normal" database: CovasCopy
Name "normal" table: Countries (or dbo.Countries)
Name "normal" field: Country

This is just a test setup. I figure that if I get this working the rest will be easier.

My current query:
select * from openquery(COVAS,'
INSERT INTO CovasCopy.dbo.Countries(Country)
SELECT cntCountryName FROM db_covas.tblCountries;')

Error Query Data Through Linked Server , SQL Server 2005

May 27, 2008

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

Retrieving Data From Excel Linked Server

May 16, 2007

I'm trying to set up a linked server as in the article

http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/10894_3085211_3

I use the following SQL to set up a linked server with Excel and attempt to retrieve data. The c: empauthors.xls is downloaded from the second page of the article above.

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'EXCEL',
'Excel',
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'c: empauthors.xls',
NULL,
'Excel 8.0',
NULL
GO
SELECT * FROM EXCEL...Sheet1$
GO

The query sets up the linked server OK, and retrieves the field names, but no data is returned. The results in Management Studio are a list of column names:

au_id au_lname au_fname phone address city state zip
contract

then an error:

OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "EXCEL" returned message "Unknown".
Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
An error occurred while preparing the query "SELECT `Tbl1002`.`au_id` AS `Col1004`,`Tbl1002`.`au_lname` AS `Col1005`,`Tbl1002`.`au_fname` AS `Col1006`,`Tbl1002`.`phone` AS `Col1007`,`Tbl1002`.`address` AS `Col1008`,`Tbl1002`.`city` AS `Col1009`,`Tbl1002`.`state` AS `Col1010`,`Tbl1002`.`zip` AS `Col1011`,`Tbl1002`.`contract` AS `Col1012` FROM `Sheet1$` `Tbl1002`" for execution against OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "EXCEL".

Does anyone know how to resolve this? I'm using Windows Authentication to connect to a SQL server (9.0.3054) instance on localhost, and am running from a test database query window.

Thanks!

Problem During Data Porting Using Linked Server

Feb 4, 2005

Hi All,

I have problems while using the Linked Server in MS SQL Server 2000 for data porting.

The Scenario :

I have about 900 hundred tables created in SQL Server database. These tables are freshly created and has no records.

I have created a Linked Server with a DSN connecting to a Sybase database from which the data has to be ported to the newly created tables in SQL Server.

The database creation as well as data porting is done by a Delphi application by executing the scripts in several .sql files.

I have shown an example script below which does the data porting.

INSERT INTO TEST_DATA (COL1,COL2,COL3)
SELECT COL1,COL2,COL3 FROM [LINK_SYBASEDB]..[DBA].[TEST_DATA]


The Issue :

I often get the below error which stops the data porting process ( the error is logged in the Errorlog by the Delphi application )


D:DBPortTEST_DATA.SQL
[OLE/DB provider returned message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed]


NOTE : This error is NOT COMING CONSISTENTLY.Often I get this error and sometimes all the data is ported without this error.

It will be great if any of you can help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance !!!

regards,

Hari Haran Arulmozhi

Problem Query Data Through Linked Server.

Aug 16, 2007

Hi,

Please bear with me if my vocabulary or phraseology is wrong (and if it is, I wouldn’t mind being corrected).

Background:

We have an application that uses a Cache database (which is a complete black box for me). The data is exposed to us through ODBC. We have set up a linked server that I can see the names of the tables and views in Enterprise Manager and can query on them with Query Analyzer.

Problem:

There are a lot of extra long string fields. I can see the data in both Crystal Reports and Access (in Crystal they are shown defined as sting [32395] and in Access they are shown as a Memo field).

I cannot get Query Analyzer to display the data. I have tried the following select statements:

select definition_text from cwsavpmtest_live..system.problem_def_data

select cast(definition_text as ntext) from cwsavpmtest_live..system.problem_def_data
select convert(ntext,definition_text) from cwsavpmtest_live..system.problem_def_data

select cast(definition_text as text) from cwsavpmtest_live..system.problem_def_data
select convert(text,definition_text) from cwsavpmtest_live..system.problem_def_data

select cast(definition_text as varchar(8000)) from cwsavpmtest_live..system.problem_def_data
select convert(varchar(8000), definition_text) from cwsavpmtest_live..system.problem_def_data

… and get the same error for every one:
quote:
Server: Msg 7341, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not get the current row value of column '[cwsavpmtest_live]..[system].[problem_def_data].definition_text' from the OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL'.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Requested conversion is not supported.]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL' IRowset::GetData returned 0x80040e1d].

So my question is: Am I out of luck and have to be content with looking at the data in Access or Crystal or is there some way I can look at these fields through Query Analyzer?

Thanks,

Laurie

Error In Accessing Data Via Linked Server

Nov 23, 2006

 

Hi,

     I am trying to access the View through linked server connection .The linked server connection is between two sql server 2005.

    The problem is I am not able to access 2 columns of nvarchar datatype of length 255, from the view through select statement.

     I do a SELECT col1,col2 from VIEW,then getting the following error .

     Cannot get the data of the row from the OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SRVXPR". Could not convert the data value due to reasons other than sign mismatch or overflow.


  Then I tried with

      Select  cast(Col1 as nvarchar) ,

                  cast(col2 as nvarchar) from VIEW,

     I am able to get the values.

    The collation type is same for all underlying tables and also for the servers.

     Is there any restrictions in handling nvarchar data thru linked server/ anyother size limitation.

     I don't want to use cast as this will lead to performance problem.       

 

Thanks,

Philip

Linked Server Data Access Problem

Oct 8, 2007

Hi,

Here is the problem:

I have a server that is linked to two other servers. The server I am linking has SQL Epress installed, whereas the servers I am linking to (and getting the data from) are enterprise versions of SQL. I used the following code to link both the servers (changing the server name and the datasrc field) and both worked fine.




Code Block
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver

@ Server='SALEEN',
@ srvproduct = 'SQL OLEDB Provider',
@ provider = 'MSDASQL',
@ datasrc = 'Debtsolv_Test'
GO

EXEC sp_addserverlogin 'SALEEN', 'false', 'NULL', 'sa', '**********'




One of the links is fine and I have no error messages when trying to access the data, but the second link throws this error when I attempt to get any data from the linked server:




Code Block
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "SALEEN" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider for "MSDASQL" for linked server "SALEEN".


I am pretty new to SQL and am totally stumped! If any one has any ideas I would be greatful.

Thanks

SQL Server 2008 :: Extracting Data From Linked Server

Dec 17, 2010

I am using MS SQL 2008, and I am trying to extract data from a MySQL database. I am having trouble extracting the data I need.

In SQL Server management studio, I can see the linked server...I can browse the different databases on the server. I can see user and system tables in all of the databases.

When I try and query a linked table (select * from server.db.table) I get Invalid object name 'servername.databasename.tablename'.

When I try script the table.. right_click on the linked table, Script table as, Select to, New Query Editor window, I get an error '[servername].[databasename]..[tablename] contains no columns that can be selected or the current user does not have permissions on that object.'

This leads me to believe that it is a permissions problem, but if I have access to the MySQL database using MySQL and the same login/password) and can retrieve the data there, then I think my login credentials should be enough using MS SQL. I guess I think its odd that I could have enough credentials to get in and see table names, but not do a select against it.
