I am trying to setup up a linked server using 'sp_addlinkedserver'. The host server is a SQL 2000 and the remote server is SQL 6.5. Both the servers are on the same domain.
When the system stored procedure is run, enterprise manager shows the name of the linked server but there are no tables.
I get error 'SQL Server does not exist or access denied' when trying to run query against a database on the remote server.
We are experiencing a problem with Sql Server 2000 linking to anAccess 97 file. We have two machines that link to this .mdb file, andwe recently upgraded one to newer hardware, SP3a, MDAC 2.8, etc. Thelink on this upgraded machine no longer works, giving this message:Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.[OLE/DB provider returned message: Cannot open a database created witha previous version of your application.]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].The link on the older machine still works. We decided to tryconverting a copy of the file to Access 2000 to see if the newerpatches/drivers/whatever no longer supported 97. We set up a link onboth machines to this file, and they both work. However, on theupgraded machine, the following error is receievedServer: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.[OLE/DB provider returned message: System resource exceeded.]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'ICommandText::Execute returned 0x80004005: ].when making 1-3 connections to the the linked server, while the oldermachine supports at least 7 simultaneous queries connecting to thelinked server and still hasn't produced that error.Does anyone have any idea if there is a known issue with linking toAccess 97/2000 files under MDAC 2.8, Jet 4.0, etc? Any light anyonecan shine on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
I'm working with SQL Server 2000 installed in Windows 2000. When i tried to add the 'servername' as a linked server , i got the following message:
" Error: 15038. The Server 'servername' already exists."
When i execute "sp_linkedservers" , i could see the name "servername" in the list. But before doing this i had Restored the "MSDB" database on this server. Should i use "sp_droplinkedservers" and add them again.
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)
Hi -We have two SQL 2000 Servers. We have the linked server setup and wecan perform updates and inserts between the databases. But when we adda trigger and insert something into a table, the database hangs. Thereare NO processes blocking or being block in either database. This ONLYoccurs when we have one OS as Windows 2000 Server and the other OS asWindows 2003 Server. This problem does not occur when both servers areWindows 2000. Has anyone ran into anything similar to this???*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
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. Or is there a way to tell it not to use NETBios? SET @provdetail = 'DRIVER={SQL SERVER};SERVER=<IP address>;Trusted_connection=Yes' EXEC Master..sp_addlinkedserver @server = ,'<IP address>', @srvproduct = '', @provider = 'SQLOLEDB', @provstr = @provdetail , @catalog = 'TestDB', @datasrc ='<IP address>DB1'
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???
Here is the error I get:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "ALLFLDB6" returned message "Login timeout expired".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "ALLFLDB6" 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 10061, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
TCP Provider: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
I€™m trying to resolve an issue and wonder if anybody has ever run into and possibly had a resolution for.
I wrote a custom conflict resolvers to manage data at the column level. What I needed to do to achieve this was to use a remote query to the mobile subscriber that raised the conflict. I€™m trying to put in a rule that if there are any issues connecting to the subscriber I want to use the default conflict resolver and move forward. Here is my issue, it seems there is no way I can test a connection without getting a critical error that I can€™t seem to trap. Example
I was trying to do
Select * from [linkedserver].[database].[dbo].[incident] If @@error <> 0 use default conflict resolver
What I did to test this was I changed the linked server authentication to an incorrect password to get the following error that there is no way to trap.
Server: Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 1 Login failed for user 'sa'.
Does anybody have an idea how to trap this? In SQL 2005 there is a stored procedure
sp_testlinkedserver to handle this but I need this to work in SQL 2000 also, it seems many people have ran into this issue on the web and I tried to get the one where sqldmo is used to test connection but that will not work since I wont always know the password. I would like to just check the @@error value after trying to run a remote query.
I'm trying to link SQL Server 2000 sp3 to SQL 2005 64 bit. I keep getting Error 17 sql server does not exist or access denined. I tried adding remote user mapping and chaning the linked server properties to "Be made using this security context" without any success. Any help is appreciated.
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??
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?

I'm trying to connect to another slq server db through a linked server (and synonyms) but I get the following error.

I've set up MSDTC and executed the procedures noted in MS's article ID 873160. I am using 2005, but the Burt server is 2000. I can run the stored procedure from my server, which queries theirs. But when I execute the sp from a service, I get the error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I plan to migrate a SQL 2000 instance with everything in it to another SQL2000 server, and eventually in the future to SQL 2005.
I've pretty much figured out how to migrate everything execept the linked server configuration (there're many linked servers configured in the old server with different security credentials). I'm wondering if there's way I can save the linked server configuration and restore it to the other server.
I'm trying to create a linked server to generalize the query for pointing to different versions/instances of the same schema. For instance, we are testing against a test db named Name_Config, but we also need to execute the same tests against Name_ConfigQA. By building the linked server (named "LS_Test"), we are attempting to leave the sql as is in another catalog on the same server by pointing through LS_Test so the following sql won't need modifying, just the linked server properties:
select * from LS_Test...table1
This produces the following error:
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: OLE DB provider does not contain the table: ProviderName='LS_Test', TableName='table1'].
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'LS_Test' does not contain table 'table1'. The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
I've been able to do this through synonyms in SQL Server 2005, but I'm having no luck setting the propertes in 2000 such that the linked server maintains the catalog name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am using two almost idential laptops, one with XP and one with Vista, the only differences is that the XP laptop has 1G of RAM and running Office XP and the Vista has 2G RAM and is running Office 2007.
I have a MS Access database that has linked tables to a SQL Server 2000 database. The performance of the Access database on Vista is 5-10 times slower on the Vista machine. Just flipping through records or opening forms can take 5 - 15 seconds on the Vista machine while the XP machine takes 1 sec or less.
What gives? I looked at the CPU performance and the network performance while the Access database was busy flipping through records, the network traffic was < 2% and the CPU would spike to 40% on one of the CPUs (dual core) but would remain under 5% most of the time.
I also previously had Office XP installed on the Vista machine and it had the same performance issue so bought and install Office 2007 on the Vista machine and it did not solve the problem.
It seems that Vista is doing something that is slowing down Access with linked tables. Is this a issue between Vista and using an ODBC connection to SQL Server?
I changed from Access97 to AccessXP and I have immense performanceproblems.Details:- Access XP MDB with Jet 4.0 ( no ADP-Project )- Linked Tables to SQL-Server 2000 over ODBCI used the SQL Profile to watch the T-SQL-Command which Access ( whocreates the commands?) creates and noticed:1) some Jet-SQL commands with JOINS and Where-Statements aretranslated very well, using sp_prepexe and sp_execute, including thesimilar SQL-Statement as in JET.2) other Jet-SQL commands with JOINS and Where-Statements aretranslated very bad, because the Join wasn´t sent as a join, Accesscollects the data of the individual tables seperately.Access sends much to much data over the network, it is a disaster!3) in Access97 the same command was interpreted wellCould it be possible the Access uses a wrong protocol-stack, perhapsJet to OLEDB, OLEDB to ODBC, ODBC to SQL-Server orJet to ODBC, ODBC to OLEDB and OLEDB to SQL-Server instead ofJet to ODBC and ODBC direct to SQL-ServerDoes anyone knows anything about:- Command-Interpreter of JetODBC, Parameters, how to influence thecommand-interpreter- Protocol-Stack of a Jet4.0 / ODBC / SQL-Server applicationThanks , Andreas
: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.
I am about to start working on a project where I would be required todynamically create linked servers during the execution of anapplication. One of the requirements is for the Link Servers to becreated and dropped before and after the retrieval of the data. Myquestion is about any type of cap on the number of linked servers SQLServer 2000 can have registered at any single time. If I find out thatthere is some type of cap, I would need to look into another way todeal with my linked server needs. Thanks for any help/information youmight be able to provide.
We have a linked server, which worked fine, but we have just changedthe collation sequence, in SQL-Server, fromSQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS to Latin1_General_CI_AS.Now trying to use the Linked server, we get the following message:"Error 7399: OLE DB Provider 'MSDAORA' reported an error. The providerdid not give any information about the error. OLE DB error trace [OLEDB provider 'MSDAORA' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005:The provider did not give any information about the error]."Ha anyone seen this before, because I am not sure why changing thecollation sequence, would affect the Linked Server

Help with error, from using Trigger to update table, in table another in the database server
Below follows the trigger
CREATE TRIGGER [TRIGGER NAME] ON [dbo].[tableLogTeste] FOR INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE AS
I am trying to write some admin only procedures which will collect information to one of my development server from other production and development servers.
I have created linked servers to access these other servers on the development server. This development server is SQL Server 2000 EE. Other servers which I want to access are 2000 and 2005 (vaious editions)
E.g I have another development server called PRODTEST which is SQL Server 2005 and on the development server I have created a linked server pointing to PRODTEST called TESTLINKSRV. I want to access new object catalog view (as I do not want to use sysobjects)
When I run the following query
SELECT * FROM [TESTLINKSRV].[DBNAME].[sys].[objects]
I get following error,
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: OLE DB provider does not contain the table: ProviderName=' TESTLINKSRV ', TableName='" DBNAME "."sys"."objects"'].
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider ' TESTLINKSRV ' does not contain table '"DBNAME"."sys"."objects"'. The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
So I try this query
SELECT * FROM [TESTLINKSRV].[DBNAME].[sys.objects]
and I get following error
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name TESTLINKSRV.DBNAME.sys.objects'.
So bottom line is how do I access catalog views on a 2005 server from a 2000 server using linked server?
I hope someone understands what I am trying to achieve. Please let me know what is it that I am doing wrong. Thank you
I'm trying to connect to a DB2 database on an AS400, by adding a linked server to SQL 2000 using an ODBC and OLEDB data source, but when i try to access the tables i get this error message:
"Error 7399: OLE DB Provider MSDASQL reported an error. Authentication Failed. Data Truncated] Client unable to establish connection] OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL' IDNInitialize returned 0x80040e4d: Authentication failed.]."
No error message appears when you create the linked server, just when you try to see the tables.
Hi All, I have a question regarding adding linked server in Sql Server 2000.
Here is the environment description:
We have one <<Common>> database Five <<Main[0...4]> databases - (it's a cluster)
All these database can be/not on the same server/server instance.Problem description: I have a stored procedure in the <<Common>> database that has to run a SQL select on each of the <<Main[0...4]>>.<<TestTable>> and update a <<Common>>.<<UpdateTable>>
There is a user <<TestUser>>/<<TestPwd>> in all these databses with same userid/password.
My assumption is to create a linked server between <<Common>> database and each of the <<Main[0...4]>> databases to run queries across databases.
Can anybody help me set this.
How would the query to do a select of the remote server look like?
Also, is my assumption to create Linked Server right, is there a better solution?
Hi , On my Desktop i registered Production Server in Enterprise Manager on that Server if i go to SecurityLinked Servers There is another Server is already mapped, when i am trying to see the Tables under that one of the Linked Server i am getting the Error message saying that "Error 17 SQL Server does not exist or access denied"
if i went to Production Server location and if i try to see the tables i am able to see properly, no problems why i am not able to see from my Desk top i am using the sa user while mapping the Production Server on my DESKTOP using (ENTERPRISE MANAGER)
And i check the Client Network Utility in the Alias using Named Pipe only, i changed to TCP/IP still same problem What might the Problem how can i see the Tables in Linked Server from my DESKTOP
I am using Linked Server in SQL Server 2008R2 connecting to a couple of Linked Servers.
I was able to connect Linked Servers, but I cannot point to a specific database in a Linked Server, also, I cannot rename Linked Server's name.
How to point the linked server to a specific database? How to rename the Linked Server?

Are there any documented bug/incompatiblities with Access 2000 linked to SQL 7?
I have an Access form that is used to do data entry to SQL7. In Access 97 the forms worked great, but now in Access 2000, if a user pastes plain text into a field, when they save the record all the text is converted to questions marks.
We have a Webshop that is very old and we can't change the SQL server that it access. But we had to upgrade the MS SQL server to a new hardware so we now have two SQL 2000 servers (the old one and the new one). All relevant data is on the new one but the webshop ONLY read from the old one)
How can I link the database on the old server soit can read and write to teh database on the new server. What I mean is that I want the webserver to access the old SQL server (with a linked database to the new SQL server) so all data on the old database is the new database.
Is this possible and in that case how?
Both SQL servers are SQL 2000 (old one SP3 and new one SP4) Its no problem to upgrade the old one to SP4 aswell.
