I am trying to set up the Linked 2005 Server to Teradata v2r5, and have got most of the way there. My problem is that using both methods (OPENQUERY and SELECT with 4-part naming string) seems to submit only the SELECT * part to Teradata with the rest of the SQL waiting until the data is all pulled back to SQL Server. This is a problem when working with big tables! It puts a huge strain on the network, and also runs me out of temp space in Teradata. Is there a way to get ALL the SQL passed to Teradata? I am looking to create a Report Model for Report Builder or Pro-Clarity. I have a dummy SQL Server 2005 database set up with views of the Teradata tables through the Linked Server. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I've been informed that our data feed systems are going to be shut down and that our data will be residing in Teradata V2R5 databases. I was wondering if anyone knows if you can get connectivity to a Teradata server via Linked Server in the Security folder of SQL Server Enterprise Manager? If no then; Is it possible through a DTS package? Thanks for the info...
I'm using SQL Server 2005 Enterprise on a Win2003 x64. I want to connect to a Teradata 2.6, but there are no x64 ODBC- or OLE-DB-drivers for Teradata yet. So, only OLE-DB can't be used as the 32-Bit OLE-DB-driver for Teradata is not visible e.g. if you want to create a linked-server-connection. One workaround would be to use "OLE-DB for ODBC", but this OLE-DB is also not available on my system.
Does anybody know a way to connect SQL 2005 x64 to Teradata or to get "OLE-DB for ODBC" up and running???
There is an entry to a similar issue (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=699116&SiteID=1) where the workaround "use 64Bit-ODBC with .net ODBC" (?) puzzles me!
SP2 for SQL Server 2005 x64 has been less than happy for me.
The initial problem, mentioned in another thread, concerned SSIS client which stopped liking Data Flow components. It was solved by a removal and reinstallation of the client tools.
However, there now seems to be a problem with making use of the Teradata oledb provider within SSIS. Prior to the installation of SP2 there was no problem.
I create a new SSIS package Add a Data Flow component Within the data flow add an oledb source Create a new connection - using the Teradata oledb provider Test the connection (it works!) Use SQL something like "select * from some_teradata_table_on_the_TD_server" Click on columns, wait a second, a list of columns is returned Add a SQL Server destination (with a new SQL Server connection) Connect the two components Save the package
Click go The TD oledb source component turns bright red and the error is "class not registered"
I have uninstalled the TD oledb provider (and underlying TD components) and re-installed (32-bit and 64-bit) - no change

I've experienced the problem with creating a linked server from SQL 2005 64-bit to SQL 2000.
"The stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on the server. Please contact your system administrator.".
I have resolved this by upgrading the system stored procs on the 2000 machine by running instcat.sql, documented in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/906954/en-us . Works great.
However, I'm now experiencing the same error when linking from SQL 2005 64-bit to SQL 7. I'm concerned about applying 2000 code onto a SQL 7 machine. Any ideas on how to handle this case?
I have a linked server to Sybase using MSDASQL. I can query the tables from the linked server using SQL Management Studio (windows login). When I put the same query into a job, it failed to work. The query is simple:
SELECT * from MyLinkedSvr.RemotDB.dbo.RemoteTable
The linked server setting include the login mapping, which maps my windows login and sa to the remote sybase login.

I have a Win 2003 running SQL 2005 Workgroup on a hosted site. I have full access to all servers. I am trying to create a linked server to my old SQL 7 server on a Win 2000 server in another network. I can ping the Win 2000 server from the Win 2003 server. I can connect via VPN from the Win 2003 server to the other network firewall and create a linked server to an AS400 server at 192.168.1.50. On the internal network behind the firewall the Win 2000 server is at 192.168.2.133 and natted to 10.10.50.133 via a load balancer. I cannot ping the Win 2000 server over the VPN even if I add an entry to the hosts file.
The SQL 7 server is autostarted with agent and MSDTC autostarted under SQL/NT authority under the administrator account. I allow remote servers to connect via RPC.
I know just enough to be dangerous and have researched this to death. I need a little help with this. I keep getting "could not open a connection to SQL Server [53]" and have researched that to no end. On the SQL 2005 management studio to create a linked server I use Microsoft OLE DB provider for SQL Server and SQLNCLI. I can't determine the connection string so I leave that blank.
I have 2x sql 2005 servers at home at different machines. I'm logging on both machines by using windows authentication. How can I make a linked server between them?
With Linked server you can access DB2 resources as if it is another object in your SQL Server.
You don€™t have to establish links from all nodes to the DB2 Server.
Connection from SQL server 2005 to DB2 Server is sufficient to all SQL server users to access DB2 resources.
1. Install MicroSoft OLE DB provider For DB2 in SQL server 2005.
2. configure as follows: Start - - -> all programs - - - > MicroSoft OLE DB provider For DB2 - - - > Data Access Tool. Right click on data sources - - -> New Data Source In Data Source Wizard - - > Data Source plat form = DB2/MVS or any other appropriate plat form from drop down Net work type = TCP/IP - - > Next Address = IP address:xx.xx.xx.xx
Port Number: xxxxxxx - - -> Next Initial Catelogue = SAMPLE Package Collection = DB2INST1 Default schema = DB2INST1 Default Qualifier = Leave it blank - - -> NEXT HOST CCSID = EBCDIC- U.S./Canada[37] or appropriate one P.C Code Page = ANSI-Latin I[1252] or appropriate one Process Binary as character = check the box - - -> NEXT Interactive sign on - - - > select it Provide login name and password. Check "Allow Password saving" - - - -> NEXT Check appropriate boxes like read only etc. - - -> NEXT Click Connect tab - - -> make sure "Success ful" message is appearing Example: - "Successfully connected to data source 'DB2-server'. Server class: DB2 Server version: 8021.00.0000" - - - -> NEXT Provide a data source name.(Example: DB2-Server) Check initialization string option - - - > NEXT Review completed task list on the window and Select "FINISH" to complete the work. The data source which you have added just now(DB2-Server) will be appearing on the grid now. right click on the data source name and make a note of the path where it has formed right click on the data source name and click "Display connection string" cut and paste this connection string on the lower window to note pad for future use.
Start MS SQL server Management studio Add a fresh linked server in 'SQL Server - - > Server Objects - - -> Linked Server" as follows: Click Mouse right button on linked server and select "New Linked Server" linked server = Provide a meaning ful, fully identifiable name for Linked server(Example"DB2-Linux") Provider = MicroSoft OLE DB provider For DB2 Product name = DB2OLEDB Data source = IP address
Provider string = Paste the connection string pasted to note pad earlier. Location = Leave it blank Catalog = SAMPLE Click on security on the left side pane Provide an SQL Server login from the drop down Do not select check impersonate Provide DB2 username and password and remote user name and password. Click OK to save. You will find the name of liked server appearing below the object Linked Server(Example "DB2-LINUX")
Open a new query window and execute an open query Example: SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY("DB2-LINUX", 'SELECT * FROM SAMPLE.DB2INST1.EMPLOYEE')
In the Example "DB2-LINUX" is the name of the linked server "SAMPLE.DB2INST1.EMPLOYEE" is the name of the table. Sample = name of the db DB2INST1= name of schema to which the table belongs to Employee = name of the table
Another Example would be SELECT empno,FIRSTNME FROM OPENQUERY("DB2-LINUX", 'SELECT * FROM SAMPLE.DB2INST1.EMPLOYEE')
I have a problem I have spent hours on already. I have found multiple posts, but not a solution to this problem. This is not a rights issue.
I have two SQL 2005 servers (I cannot upgrade to SP2 yet): ServerA - ver 9.00.2153.00 (X64) ServerB - ver 9.00.2153.00 (Intel X86)
I create a linked server on ServerB pointed to ServerA, uses 'sa' for all logins, works perfectly. I create a linked server on ServerA pointed to ServerB, uses 'sa' for all logins, FAILS.
Run on ServerA:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([ServerB], 'SELECT [field1] FROM database.dbo.tablea')
Returns:
Msg 7356, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "ServerB" supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. The column "field1" (compile-time ordinal 1) of object "SELECT [field1] FROM database.dbo.tablea" was reported to have a "Incomplete schema-error logic." of 0 at compile time and 0 at run time.
Run on ServerA:
SELECT [field1] FROM [ServerB].database.dbo.tablea
Returns:

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 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:
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:

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.

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?

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?
I am trying to Query text file into SQL Server 2005 using linked server. In SQL Server 2000 here is what I have. Linked server configured to use following parameters Product Name : Customer_file Provider Name: Customer_File ( System DSN)
In SQL 2005, the linked servers are not automatically enabled for RPC / RPC OUT like they were in SQL 2000. I have set the properties for my linked server by using SQL Management Studio.
I right click on the Linked Server --> Properties --> Server Options
There are options like: Collation Compatible, Data Access, RPC, RPC OUT, Use Remote Collation
There is a drop down box to set each value to TRUE or FALSE. Setting them through management studio works great, however for the production environment I need to set these properties programmatically. Is there a stored procedure or registry setting that would allow my program to set these values for a given linked server?
Hello, I have been searching the archives for information on problems that occur with creating a linked server to SQL Server 2000 from SQL Server 2005 x64, but the problem I am having seems to be slightly different.
I was able to create the linked server from the 2005 server this way;
I receive 'Command(s) completed successfully' for both. When I attempt to run either of the following queries from a connection to the 2005 server in Management Studio;
select top 100 * from 2kServer.database.dbo.table select * from Openquery(2kServer,'select top 10 * from database.dbo.table')
I get the following error
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "2kServer" 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 'domaincdun2'.
I've seen a couple of ideas on this. One states the following; *************************************** When running 4 part reference query like this: select * from sql2000.mybase.dbo.mytable
SQL Server 2005 x64 runs the following query on remote SQL2000 server: exec [mybase]..sp_tables_info_rowset_64 N'mytable', N'dbo', NULL
Unfortunately there is no such a proc on SQL2k. However, sp_tables_info_rowset exists and does the same thing. The solution is to create wrapper on master database like this:
create procedure sp_tables_info_rowset_64 @table_name sysname, @table_schema sysname = null, @table_type nvarchar(255) = null as declare @Result int set @Result = 0 exec @Result = sp_tables_info_rowset @table_name, @table_schema, @table_type
And then everything works fine. If you don't want to create "Microsoft like" objects on master database, use openquery instead of 4 part reference. ************************************** I put this proc on the 2kServer and tried again, but I got the same error. I've also seen this:
I went into the Sql Server Configuration Manager, Sql Native Client Configuration -> Protocols and disabled Shared Memory and made the TCP/IP protocol #1 in order. Then just restarted the Sql Service and it all started working!
I don't have access to the server to do this, but I wonder if it would solve the problem. I am a sys admin on both servers. The servers are in two different domains. Could this be a firewall issue?
Can anyone tell me if there's a recommended way to link from a SQL 2000 SP4 DB through a firewall to SQL 2005? I have tried with SQLOLEDB but this uses NETBios which is not secure.

I have 2 linked servers on my dev 2005 instance (sp1-win 2003). My 2005 instance shares the physical server with a 2000 instance. This linked server works fine. The second linked server is on a separate server running sql 2000 sp3. I cannot connect to this server at all. I can connect the other way -- from the 2000 to the 2005. I have tried all kinds of combinations of security and options but nothing works. The only resolutions I have found referenced installing Management Studio on the 2000 server or creating an ODBC connection from the 2005 instance. Any ideas???
