I'm trying to connect to another slq server db through a linked server (and synonyms) but I get the following error.
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The current transaction cannot be committed and cannot support operations that write to the log file. Roll back the transaction. ,Unable to start a nested transaction for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "BURT". A nested transaction was required because the XACT_ABORT option was set to OFF. , at Westfalia.TDMN.TxObjects.TxBurtOCIInterface.BurtOCIPalletChangedRecords_Get() , --- End of inner exception stack
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.
Does anyone know who I can truncate the transaction log of a database that is on a linked server? TRUNCATE LOG [linked server].[dbo].[database] WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY does not work. Thanks, Kell
To commit a transaction on SQL server A database A that also inserts a record to SQl Server B database B (this is a linked sql server) do I need the xact_abort set on before the commit trans statement. Or is doing this not possible
I have a test environment setup consisiting of one SQL Server 2000 32 bit instance on one box and one SQL Server 2005 64 bit edtion on another box. Nearly everything works fine but have found this one snag...
Linked Server name: SQL2005
From the SQL Server 2000 instance in Query Analyzer....
-- this works fine Delete from [SQL2005].myDB.dbo.myTbl
-- this just hangs Begin Tran Delete from [SQL2005].myDB.dbo.myTbl
It doesn't make any difference what provider I use on the Linked Server.
I have tried it on a SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2000 configuration and, interestingly, it would only work if I used set XACT_ABORT ON. However, in the SQL Server 2000 to 2005 configuration, this doesn't help.
We have a number of DTS packages that do deletes across the linked server that are failing due to this issue so we're being stopped from continuing with the migration to SQL Server 2005.
According to our stratergy we are taking trans log backup of every user database everuy two hours.things seem to work great and with success at the day time and at night once at 12.03 and 2.03 they fail and when i checked the error log i found that there is only one database for which its failing and it gives the following error.

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)
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 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 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.

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?

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 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 have a stored procedure that retrieves data via a linked server that is running on a local instance of SQL Express 2005. This has been working without problems for some time.
We are now trying to move the database with the links to either SQL Express 2005 running on a server, or an instance of SQL Server 2005. In both cases I can successfully link the servers but when the stored procedure executes it fails on the select statement from the linked server with the following message:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "mosier" 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 18452, Level 14, State 1, Line 0
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
Why is the user name null? I've tried explicitly setting login information by running the sp_addlinkedsrvlogin procedure but get the same results. In all cases logins should be using windows authentication and all the servers are inside the corporate firewalls.
I presume there is some property somewhere that is different between the SQL instances that work and the ones that don't but I haven't been able to find anything.
We would like to replicate from a SQL 7 DB some data onto a SQL 2000 Server running SQL 2000. We plan to take some data off the SQL 7 DB's and create a Data Warehouse on the SQL 2000 Box.
Question: Will the data replicate successfully from the SQL 7 box onto the SQL 2000 box?
We're running Lawson software on our SQL 2000 box. We're using Veritas Backup Exec to back up the databases to tape. I'm also using a Maint Plan for an extra backup (kinda redundant, but I need the practice at all this). I just added transaction logs to the maint plan (so I thought) but I only see a log for 1 of the 3 databases.
Also, my trans log file is 11 gig. I thought backing up the trans logs would get the trans to delete afterwards (databases are recovery model=full). Can anyone point a newbie in the right direction. Fortunately it's not in production yet, and we haven't had any disasters (yet).
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?
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?

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've had a DTS Package scheduled to run every morning since June last year, however on Monday and again this morning, the DTS package has failed on two of its steps. This DTS package runs on SQL Server 2000 and the server is a Windows 2000 Server.
Basically, the DTS Package steps that fail are populating a "cache" table from a "live" table and then performing Inserts / Updates on the "live" table from a CSV file depending upon whether data exists in the "cache" table and whether the CSV file contains an "Insert" or "Update" flag. The live table has just over 800,000 rows of data and our nightly CSV extract, containing both inserts and updates, has about 6000 rows.
The error / failure has only happened in the last two days and I'm not too sure if there's any "timeout" feature in DTS and if there is, how I can modify it, or whether this may be something to do with long transactions or temp dbspace running out.
The time that the DTS package runs was modified last week to run two hours earlier (03:00 instead of 05:00) and has ran okay for a few days. I don't know whether this change is a red herring, as I have checked other DTS packages on the machine and none appear to run at the same time.
Here's the message from the third step in the DTS Package (second one that's failing).

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.
I have an Integration Services package running fine when i execute it manually. However, when i schedule the package in SQL Server Agent. it fails to execute.
The only message i get "package execution failed. the step failed" i changed the job owner to local administrator's account and the sa login but it still failed.
