I'm running SQL Server 2000 and I have a linked server setup to another SQL Server 2000 box. I've got a stored procedure that creates a temporary table and is pulling information from local tables and from tables located on the linked server. When I run this stored procedure it bombs on me when it hits the linked server part returning an error message of:
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Procedure app_GetOfficeOrders, Line 29
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator.
Now I can run a query against a table located on the linked server that returns just a table count and everything works fine. I'm just having problems with that one stored procedure. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
P.S. I have verified that it isn't a time-out error and it isn't a permissions issues.
Hi, I was making a linked server connection between SQL Server 2000 and Oracle 8.1.5 (both running on Windows 2000 Server), and I was creating an insert trigger in one of the SQL Server table to insert the same value to the Oracle table. But when I try to make an insert to the table, the following error occurred :
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Procedure <triggername>, Line xx The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' was unable to begin a distributed transaction. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8000d048].
I tried to change the trigger into a SELECT statement only and the error still occurred. But when I tried to insert a row directly to the linked server via Query Analyzer, it succeeded. I have read KB 280106, KB 306212, and KB 329332, and I've tried SET XACT_ABORT ON statement, but none of them can solve the problem.
If there's anyone who has idea on what's wrong or has a suggestion what I should try please help. Thank you in advance.
2 MS Server 2000 running on 2 machine. Let's SA and SB On SA, add linkserver point to SB.Then I can run select statement as: select * from SB.mydb.dbo.table1
On SA, there is a stored procedure sp_test, I can run select statement inside this sp. But when I put insert statement in sp_test as: insert into SB.my.db.dbo.table1....... I get 7391 error as:

The operation system on both server is window 2000.
I'm not sure if this is the correct group for this messages, but here it is anyway.
I have a job that has 3 steps to, periodicly the job errors out on Step 1. Following is the message (from Job History).

Can someone please explain this message, I have no idea how to fix it or what the cause is.
Our company wanted to try out SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition (64 Bit). So, we were on free trial of the Enterprise Edition for past 5 months. After which we decided to go for SQL SERVER 2005 Standard Edition (64 Bit). And, Last week, we installed the SQL Server Standard Edition (64 Bit) on our server. After installation, everything was restored as before.
The version we are on right now is:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3054.00 (X64) Mar 23 2007 18:41:50 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
Strangely, a job which ran fine till then is failing with the following error: And, to be more specific, when this job is run manually in the form of a stored procedure using the query optimizer it runs fine. But, when its executed as a scheduled job on SQL Agent, it fails. The History logs record the following error.
Error :
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "LV-SQL2" reported an error. Authentication failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7399) Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "LV-SQL2". [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7303) OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "LV-SQL2" returned message "Invalid authorization specification". [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7412).
I tried everything possible, even recreated the job, but, no avail.
I also considered the possibility if SQL Agent login account did not have enough permissions. So, I changed the SQL Agent login to windows authentication, but the job still fails. So, its the problem has nothing to do with login accounts either.
For the record, I have cross checked all these too.
1. Enabled the remote connections in Surface Area Config
2. Added local server login to remote server login mappings.
3. Checked 'Rpc' and 'Rpc Out' under server options. Also, the Connection Timeout and Query Timeout have been set to zero (0).
Any suggestions pointing towards problem solution appreciated.
Hi: When I tried to run a remote proc (with one parameter of date to return a set of records (no problem in return records) and to insert to the local database table A, with following errors:
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction. [OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. ] OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a].
I am receiving the following error when I run a stored procedure:Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spXXXXThe SP inserts data into a local (sql 2000) table from a remote sql2000 database. The SP works fine until I add a trigger to thedestination. The contents of the trigger do not appear to matter, as Ihave tried removing everything but one line, which is just a declarestatement. Updating the table with the trigger (even the full trigger)in place does not cause an error. Running the SP without the triggeron the table does not cause the error.I have the exact same setup on another server. Both the SP and thetrigger are IDENTICAL. This setup works on one server, but not theother. The only difference I can see is that the non-working server isWindows 2000 Server, while the working server is Windows 2003 Server.Any idea what's going on here?Thanks in advance.Eric
could someone please explain the following error msg! the code seg that is gen the error is as follows, followed by the err msg. I"m trying to update a table on a linked server (paeddb1.gold). both servers are running MS SQL7

I have a "linked server" configured in my SQL Server 2000 (SP4) server, which used to work correctly. However, I had to reinstall SQL Server (I backed up and restored the master/model/etc databases, so all my settings stayed the same). Since then, I've been getting this error when I try to use the linked server: Invalid schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'. OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: Invalid schema or catalog specified for the provider.].
The linked server is a FoxPro database, which does not use catalog or schema names. So, my select syntax looks like this: SELECT * FROM Server...Table
SQL Server is aparently expecting something like this: SELECT * FROM Server.Catalog.Schema.Table
Does anyone know how I can fix it so that it allows the "empty dot" method to work like it used to?'
We have an SSIS package within which we are calling a stored procedure which eventually call a sql server dbo.fn() which contains code to lookup data inside oracle using Linked Server for Oracle.
We are calling the Package dynamically from the stored procedure by creating a SQL Server Agent Job, I am getting the below error very often. Can we fix the error in any way?
“EXEC sp_UpdateTname 369,'939390',2008 " failed with the following error: "Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "ORATEST".". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
When I hard code global variables and ran the package I am able to see the successful execution of the package.
I got the following error when using linked server:

Does anyone have any suggestions??

SQL Server version is Enterprise Edition 8.00.2039 SP4 and one oracle database linked via Microsoft OLe DB provider for Oracle. Oracle db name: SCP.
One of the job inserts data to sql database from querying oracle database; randomly fails with the error message below.
************************** INSERT INTO mom_services ('SQL TABLE') SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(SCP,'SELECT SERIAL_NO_ FROM SCADMIN.DEVICEM1 WHERE CONTAINER=''MOM''') ***************************

What I have done; Oracle client uninstalled server restarted and oracle client installed . Linked server deleted and recreated but nothing changed.
I'm trying to execute commands on a SQL Server on the same domain. Following the instructions, I called sp_addlinkedserver N'LinkSQLSrvr', ' ', N'SQLOLEDB', N'NetSQLSrvr' then sp_addlinkedsrvlogin N'LinkSQLSrvr', false, N'Joe', N'Visitor', N'VisitorPwd'. No complaints. When I execute a select statement, however (eg. select top 10 colname from LinkSQLSrvr.dbname.dbo.tblname) I get:
Server: Msg 7353, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata. An extra column was supplied during execution that was not found at compile time.
Tried it on different combinations of local and remote servers and I get exactly the same error each time. Help!
SQL 2000 I have a process that calls several stored procs which access a database on a linked server. code that fails:
SELECT DISTINCT em.er_id, em.er_name, bp.bpo_id, bp.bpo_name FROM [dbrptc13dayoldprod].ues.dbo.Employer em Inner Join [dbrptc13dayoldprod].ues.dbo.BPO bp ON em.er_bpoid = bp.bpo_id
Error message: Server: Msg 913, Level 16, State 8, Line 1 Could not find database ID 6. Database may not be activated yet or may be in transition.
The database is accessible from query analyzer with a simple select from the linked server. Also if I change any letter in the ues.dbo.Employer em or ues.dbo.BPO bp part to a different case it works fine. For example: -changed the BPO to BPo- this works! SELECT DISTINCT em.er_id, em.er_name, bp.bpo_id, bp.bpo_name FROM [dbrptc13dayoldprod].ues.dbo.Employer em Inner Join [dbrptc13dayoldprod].ues.dbo.BPo bp ON em.er_bpoid = bp.bpo_id

above error messages occurs when I try to run a proc which inside a query statement of select to a linked SQL6.5 database. The thing puzzled me is that linked query to run outside the proc is just fine, but errors within the proc. the running server is MSDE 2k with sp3. Look at knowledgebase about " DBCOLUMNFLAGS_ISNULLABLE" is only related to DB2 or SQL7 or SQL2000 before sp3.... man... thanks
I am trying to call an RPC from SQL2KSP3 to Sybase ASE 12.5. SQL2K is on an IBM Intel Server running Win2KSP4, ASE is on an IBM RS6000 w/ AIX 5.2.
I have the ASE server set up as a linked server in SQL 2000, and doing queries is working fine, i.e. I can SELECT * FROM asesrvr.testdb.dbo.tablename and get back all the data in tablename from the testdb database on the ASE server asesrvr.
However, when I try to run an RPC using the same syntax, I get a generic 7212 error (Could not execute procedure 'procname' on remote server 'asesrvr'. I am calling the rpc with DECLARE @output char(1) EXEC asesrvr.testdb.dbo.procname @output output
I'm using Sybase's ASE OLEDB provider; on the Linked Server Properties, I have

Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this further? It does not appear to be limited to this one procedure (this one only has one output parameter and one line of code, so it's about as simple as it can get for testing purposes). Again, queries work fine, so the linked server itself is connected and working, at least for queries.
I run the query in the attached file on multiple servers with success but some of them refuse to cooperate. I've tried recreating the linked server on the problem servers but this doesn't help. All I want to do is check db file size and free space and get it to work. Why does it have to be so damn complicated?
Any ideas welcome - including an entirely different way of doing this.

I have setup a linked server to a Sybase database using the ODBC driver (which in turn uses the Sybase OLE DB provider). Logged onto the box as the SQL Service account everything is good. Using Enterprise Manager from any machine to the SQL Server box using an account that is a local administrator on the SQL Server box everything is good. However, if I attempt to make a connection via Enterprise Manager with an account that does not have local administrator rights on the server I get an error. I get the same error if I attempt an OPENQUERY against a table in the Linked server database. The error I receive is as follows:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. [OLE/DB provider returned message: [SYBASE][ODBC Sybase driver]Allocation of a Sybase Open Client Context failed. Sybase normally generates a SYBINIT.ERR file contianing more specific reasons for failing.] OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].
The drives are secured so that only local administrators have rights to them.
I found in the Microsoft KB the follownig article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=814398
In this article it is suggesting that I need to open up the server from this lockdown. So, just to test this out without having to restart SQL Server I first allowed for full access to the C drive to "Everyone" and everything was good.
My question then is, has anybody else ran into this sort of thing? It doesn't seem right that I have to open up some folder on the database server to everyone in order to get a linked server going.
We are currently having the following problem. When trying to connect using "Be made using the login's current security context" I am getting the following error message "Login Failed for NTAuthorityAnonLogin". Yesterday this worked. The setup is as follows
SQL2008R2, nine instances on a cluster. The instance can use "current security context" when both instances are on the same node ie instance 1 node a to instance 2 node a , but when one is on node a and the other is on node b, i.e., instance 1 node 1 to instance 2 node b, we get the error above.
I am trying to use a linked server and it works as long as I do not specify the sp_addlinkedserver @provstr parameter. If I specify that parameter I always get a 7416 "Access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists" error. I have tried adding the logins various ways but it's very specific to the @provstr parameter, and it doesn't even matter what I put in that parameter. As soon as I put something in there whether it is valid or invalid, I get the error.
Anyone else seen this? There is an amazing lack of any discussion about the error when I search for it.
Need to be able to run update queries on DB2 on IBM MF from a Linked Server. Select and Insert queries work but Update and Delete queries don't. DB2 connect is installed and ODBC System dsn's are created for DEV and Production DB2 environments.
The ODBC drivers can be selected when running Imports/Exports but can't be specified through a linked server.
I'm trying to link my local SQL 2005 with a remote oracle database. I have downloaded the oracle 10g client. It seems the client installed a data source driver for me to use (Oracle in OraDb10g_home2). I created a new data source named 'Company' which I have successfully connecting using that driver.
The following is the script I'm using to create my linked server:
USE master
GO
sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'Company',
@provider = 'OraOLEDB.Oracle',
@srvproduct = 'oracle',
@datasrc = 'Company'
GO
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = 'Company',
@useself = 'false',
@rmtuser = 'Company1',
@rmtpassword = 'MyPassword'
These both execute successfully.
Then when I go to make a select call:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(Company, 'SELECT * FROM CAMPUS')
I get the following error:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "Company" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "Company".
I think my proplem may be that this provider does not match with my data source.... Any ideas?
I've been assigned with finding the issue behind this error on one of our production systems:

I've Googled the error to death, searched the forums here and at other SQL sites as well and have found nothing that points me at the cause. I've found the individual parts of the error but not the whole. Maybe I've just been looking at it too long and am missing something simple. Anyone have any ideas?
These are two linked SQL2005 64bit enterprise Win2k3 servers. The error comes when an automated daily job is run. Sometimes it happens at once, sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after an hour. I can see nothing wrong with the server itself or the network.

I have created a System DSN to a MYOB database file. I have SQL 2000 and 2005 Express editions installed on the same machine. I am logged in to PC as Local Admin. I am also logged into 2005 Express using 'sa' to avoid any security problems.
Creating a New Linked Server using SQL 2000 works fine using the System DSN I created, however, If I use exactly the same settings (Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC) I get an error message.
"The OLE Provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "sname" reported an error. The provider did not give an information about the error." "Cannot initilize the data source object of OLE DB Provider "MSDASQL" for Linked Server "name". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7399)"
I have installed SL 2005 Express SP2.
As another test I created a data source using the same System DSN in Excel. It worked fine and queries the MYOB database file.
I've got 2 SQL servers in a test environment - one is 2000 and the other is MSDE and they are seperate machines. I have added the MSDE server as a linked server to my 2000 box by issuing the following command:
I can query the database using an openquery in a select statement like so:
select * from openquery([192.168.1.108], 'select * from remote_test.dbo.products')
but when I try a direct query like the following:
select * from [192.168.1.108].remote_test.dbo.products
I get the following error:
An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: Processing of results from SQL Server failed because of an invalid multipart name "192.168.1.108.remote_test.dbo.products", the current limit of "4" is insufficient.
I can't seem to figure out anything about this error. Anyone have any ideas?
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.

The following query that uses a linked server is giving me the error message below after I initiate a failover (ALTER DATABASE Northwind SET PARTNER FAILOVER). I have SQL Server 2005 SP2. I think that without the service pack there is another error too.
The query is run from a database other than northwind of course. select * from DualLink.northwind.dbo.Test1
Please note that: without a failover it works perfectly it always work if I try to run it a second time - only the first time it fails. it fails the first time for each of the open connections. A new connection that was open after the failover will work fine.

I have two databases that support two separate applications. Both applications are required to be in sync with one anther. One application is MSSQL 2000 based and the other is Oracle 9.i. Given the complexity of the first application (host), the best solution was to use linked servers to connect the SQL database to the Oracle database.
To prevent imbalances, the host application calls a package in Oracle to update the secondary application before it completes the transaction in SQL. This way, if anything fails at any point, the entire transaction is rolled back and neither databases are updated.
PROBLEM:
Our test system is stand alone but is performing the previously mentioned transaction in the same manner to an Oracle database on a Linux server. After passing testing, we promoted the application to the live system and are experiencing the following error when the transaction attempts to call the Oracle package:
Connectivity error: [Microsoft][ODBBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]MSDTC on server XXXXX is unavailable.
I have done some reading, but there really isn€™t much literature on linked servers. Will someone help?
