Jet.OLEDB.4.0 And Linked Servers (SQL Standard 2005 On Win2003 SP1)
Dec 5, 2006
I have been trying to figure out for some time why Linked Servers do not continue to run. I start up my SQL Server Database service, and then using SQL Server Management Studio I create one or more linked servers to Microsoft Access Databases using the Jet Provider. I then run some queries to that access those linked servers without any problems. (One currently is called 'THE')
After some time has passed, possibly minutes, hours or days, I can no longer access any of the linked servers. No data, queries, tables, or anything is accessible to me anymore. I use this command "EXEC sp_testlinkedserver N'THE' " to test the linked server and get the following error msg.
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "THE" returned message "Unspecified error".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_testlinkedserver, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "THE".
The only solution I have to fix this currently is to restart the SQL Server Database service. I have tried deleting and recreating the Linked server before doing this to no avail. I have also used the FileMon and RegMon tools on the server to try to determine the problem but have no no success. After restarting the SQL service I can run the "EXEC sp_testlinkedserver N'THE' " command successfully "Command(s) completed successfully." and can access the linked servers again without any problems.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Mark.
P.S. I have tried changing the security options on the linked server from "Be made without a context." to using the "Admin" username and leaving the password blank, to several other possible variations and options, as well as setting up the system.mdw database in the registry to no avail.

Hi,
I have:
- SQL 2005 Dev on machine A
- SQL 2005 Dev on machine B
I've made a linked server from A to B using:
- Windows authentication
- SQL Server authentication
However, I ran into the following "problems":
- When creating a linked server from A to B, when I do a "new linked server" I have to give it the same name as machine B.
- Therefore, I can only make one linked server to B (not f.ex. make two, one Windows authentication and one SQL Server authentication).
Is it only possable to make one linked server to a machine running SQL Server 2005?
Thank you.

Dear all
I have created linked server object between a sql 2000 and sql 2005 database. i have the latest mdacs installed and all the services enabled on both sides.
But when i try and run a sql statement on the sql 2000 side i get this error:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (PreLoginHandshake()).]General network error. Check your network documentation.
If i try and run a swl statment on the sql server 2005 side the procedure works.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?Any advice?
Thank you so much for the help.

We have two sql servers using Windows authentication. One is sql 2000 the other sql 2005. When logged in as "sa", I can link these servers and run a SELECT distributed query without any problem.
But when one of our developers runs the same query (he is "dbo" of each database on each of the servers) he gets the error:
"OLE DB Provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server <Servername> returned message "Communication Link Failure"
...
Login failed for user '(null'). reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection"
Despite that, I, as "sa" equivalent, have no problem so it appears to be a permisisons issue. Any ideas what is going on here?
TIA,

I am having trouble finding any documentation on how linked servers are set-up under SQL 2005 for log-shipping and replication. Under SQL 2000, the only linked servers "visible" were ones that were user-defined. Under SQL 2005, it seems when you set-up log-shipping or replication, you get these new linked servers which are automatically defined. I would like to understand them and in particular, how security is maintained. We recently had a production issue where after some problem with a server which resulted in having to restart SQL Server, and shrink msdb, log-shipping started to fail authentication when trying to run alert jobs. Only after rebooting the server, and also the log-ship target server, and waiting 9 hours, did the authentication correct itself. I would like to know how it resolved itself and what took so long?

We have a linked server that is an Apartment model OLE DB Provider. It works fine on SQL 2005 SP1. After applying SP2, we get the following msg when running a query against the linked server. I cannot find anything in the SP2 doc that indicates a change of behavior for linked servers. Any ideas ?

Msg 7308, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'DBAmp.DBAmp' cannot be used for distributed queries because the provider is configured to run in single-threaded apartment mode.

Hi All,
I am writing an interface between SQL Server and Access. I have chosen to use a linked server using the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider. One of the requirements is to have multiple SQL statements in one transaction, which is where I am encountering the problem. (see below)
BEGIN TRAN
INSERT INTO ACCES...Table
Msg 7390, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
The requested operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "HES" does not support the required transaction interface.
I am having a really really hard time finding documentation on the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider, specifically I want to know for sure if it supports the ITransactionJoin interface.
The main question is - does MS Access linked servers support transactions?
Thank you for your help,
I have exausted all resources available to me in finding out the answer.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi all,
I'm using following code to create linked server and then access data
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver N'XLS',
'Jet 4.0',
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'C:DataProdukthierachie.xls',
NULL,
'Excel 5.0;'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin N'XLS', FALSE, NULL, Admin, NULL
SELECT * FROM XLS...SWProdukthierachie$
When executing the select statement I get following error message
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "XLS" returned message "Unspecified error".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "XLS".
Strange is that when I run this code on dev machine it works fine. But when I try to execute it on my second (pilot) machine it ends with the error message posted. I'm not a admin on the pilot machine so I don't know it's exact configuration but I'm beeing assured that the only difference is that on pilot machine there is no Visual Studio installed.
I'm running SQL Server 2005 9.0.1399.
Could anyone give me some hints?
Thx

Hello,
I have a SQL Server instance on my local computer and an Oracle
Database on a remote server. I want to run queries from tables
within both databases and am using linked servers to accomplish
this.
I configure my linked server in SQL Server using the Microsoft
OLE DB Provider for Oracle and can run queries using sql server
tables and oracle tables. However, even the simplest queries
take more than 10 minutes to run.
I have the Oracle 9 Client Installed and MDAC 2.7. I configured
my registry settings to match oracle 9's settings.
However nothing i do improves the performance of the queries
through the Microsoft OLEDB Provider for Oracle.
When I use MS Access, or use an ASP page with the following
string:
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.Open "dsn=Oberon;uid=mfs;pwd=mfs;"
I implement the ODBC driver that I configured in my system DSN
and both run the same queries very fast. The data comes back
without a problem.
So i believe I have narrowed down my problem to the OLEDB
Provider. However, SQL Server does not give me a choice to use
the ORACLE native ODBC Provider.
So then I tried using Pass-Through Queries and this worked alot
faster in SQL Server...I am completely confused as to whats
going on.
Linked Server Query that takes over 10 minutes:
SELECT * FROM OBERON..LOGS.DATA_PHOTO ldp where Machine=301 AND C3='I051097';
Pass-Through Query that works faster:
select * from Openquery(OBERON, 'SELECT * FROM LOGS.DATA_PHOTO ldp where MACHINE=301 AND C3=''I051097''')
From researching pass through queries, my understanding is that
it actually uses ODBC to give the whole query to the remote
database where the query is then run and the results are passed
back as a table, thats why you say select * from (query)...however if my understanding is correct, then you cant combine tables in different databases very easily. And will it work with .asp and .aspx pages?
Anybody have any insight as to whats going on?

Hello all,
I want to create a table in MS-Access. So I have written the following query.
Code Snippet
select * from Openquery(KKACC, 'select * Into Temp from Table select 1 as col1')
But I am getting the following error.
Code Snippet
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "KKACC" returned message "Syntax error in FROM clause.".
Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
An error occurred while preparing the query "select * Into Temp from Table select 1 as col1" for execution against OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "KKACC".
How can I resolve this error. Does any one have any work arround for this..?
Thanks

I'm considering upgrading from MSDE 2000 to Express 2005.
Before I do that I need to know if my linked server dependant
scheduled jobs will continue to function properly.
Here's my current configuration:
I have a local SQL Server 2000 Standard edition box linked via IP address to a remote MSDE 2000 SQL Server. This link
uses SQL authentication.
I want to upgrade the remote MSDE server to 2005 Express. Will my local 2000 SQL Server link successfully with a 2005 Express server?
Also, I have 2000 Developer Edition on my machine and am using Enterprise Manager where I have registered the remote MSDE so I can easily manage the server. Will I be able to register a 2005 Express server or will I need to upgrade my developer machine to 2005? If I do upgrade my developer machine, will I still be able to register the 2000 Standard Sql Server?
If there are any other issues with running a mixed environment like the one described here, please speak up! I want to make an informed
decision.
Thanks so much for your help!

I have a linked server defined on a SQL Server 2005 SP2 standard edition server using the IBMDASQL OLEDB driver. The linked server has been defined and working for months when used from a SQL Server authenticated session. I started converting our developers to Windows Authentication and access to the linked server is denied when used from a Windows Authenticated session. Here are the error messages:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "IBMDASQL" for linked server "DB2ARUBA" reported an error. Access denied.
Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "IBMDASQL" for linked server "DB2ARUBA".
The linked server security is defined to login to the IBM iSeries using a fixed user and password regardless of the login using the linked server.
In order to analyze the problem, I created one sysadmin SQL Server authenticated login and one sysadmin Windows Authenticated login. The Windows Authenticated login refers to a domain login having administrator priviledges on the local SQL Server box.
So, when I connect to SQL Server using the SQL Authenticated login, a query against the linked server works. When I connect to SQL Server using the Windows Authenticated login, the exact same query against the linked server fails with the messages above.
Does anyone know why?

Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 7.0 SP1.
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
SELECT@start_dte = date_data_range_start_dte,
@END_DTE = date_data_range_END_dte
FROMSIDDEV.SID_DEVELOPMENT.DBO.T901_RUN
WHERERUN_ID = (selectmax(run_id)
from
SIDDEV.SID_DEVELOPMENT.DBO.t901_run
whererun_type_cd = 'M')
SELECTRUN_ID
INTO#RUNS
FROMCRMDEV02.MDCORE.DBO.T901_RUN
WHEREDATE_DATA_RANGE_START_DTE >= @START_DTE
ANDDATE_DATA_RANGE_END_DTE <= @END_DTE
SELECTT70.*

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.
Thanks in advance,

When I create linked server using integrated security and <they will be impersonated> option I get this:

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?

Hi.
I'm working with SQL Server 7.0 and I've been reading about the linked server option. My question is, if it's possible to link a server with a SQLBase database 7.01.
I have download some drivers to my computer, the odbc driver for sqlbase and the sqlbase ole db driver as well, but when I try to add a new linked server in the enterprise, in the provider name option I can not see any provider name addressing to Centura or Sql base driver.
Has anybody an idea how to make this connection then? or the right way for doing it??
Thanks for any help can be offered.
