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
I am researching alternatives to a stored procedure that uses a linked server query that my ASP page uses to retrieve records to the page.
Should I:
Use replication (Data is constantly updated, so a snapshot won't do. Merge replication?)
Break up the stored procedure into subqueries?
Use a view on the remote server instead of the actual tables?
I am trying to reduce the amount of table scans, what is the best way to do this?
Here is the stored procedure I am trying to tune: (@startDate and @endDate are parameters passed from the web page):
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.spELRMCcardXtionByDate @dcid nvarchar(255), @startDate datetime, @endDate datetime AS SELECT Store.[Str#], Store.[Dcid#], E.card_number, E.program_number , E.start_date, E.end_date, E.card_number, E.event_number , E.status, E.budget, E.scheduled_date, P.tx_time, P.purchase_amount , L.merchant_name FROM (Store INNER JOIN Event E ON Store.[DemoID#] = E.event_number) LEFT JOIN (Location L RIGHT JOIN POS_TX P ON L.location_number = P.location_number) ON E.event_number = P.event_number WHERE (((Store.[Dcid#])= @dcid)) AND E.scheduled_date BETWEEN @startDate AND @endDate ORDER BY Store.[Str#] GO
Any suggestions on my sp or anything else that can implement would be greatly appreciated.
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?
After installing sql2005 sp2 a simple select query to a linked server reports the following error message:
Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.Msg 0, Level 20, State 0, Line 0A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded. Before installing SP2 we used sql2005 without any service packs, the linked server worked fine.
The linked server is a Visual FoxPro database.
After uninstalling and installing the 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro 9.0' the issue stil remains.
I've successfully created a Linked Server that connects a local DB Engine with another DB Engine through an ip over an extranet. I am able to run simple Select statement queries on the Local DB Engine and get results from the linked server. However when attempting to perform more complex queries that join tables from the linked server with tables from the local DB server, I get the following error message after several minutes of execution:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "<ip of Linked Server>" returned message "Protocol error in TDS stream". OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "<ip of Linked Server>" returned message "Communication link failure".
Msg -1, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
Session Provider: Physical connection is not usable [xFFFFFFFF].
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "<ip of Linked Server>" returned message "Communication link failure".
Msg -1, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
Session Provider: Physical connection is not usable [xFFFFFFFF].
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "<ip of Linked Server>" 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.
How I can resolve it. I've read on Distributed Transactions but I understand that it only applies to manipulation statements?
Both are SQL servers. Linked Server is SQL2008R2 if not mistaken. Local DB Engine is SQL2014.
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.
I have successfully been able to use a SELECT query to see tables on a remote (Linked) server. Now, I want to be able to join those records with a WHERE clause to the same tables I have on my local database. The idea here is to be able to see current data on my local database(which is not current data), which resides in the remote database(which is current data). Here is what I have so far:
SELECT top 10 * from LinkServer.MC_Card.webuser.POS_TX
But, I'm not sure how to SELECT from two tables. Would I do a SELECT from the local database WHERE all records = records on the remote database?
Not sure how to do this. Is this what would be considered a Distributed Query? And how would I make this work with joins like the existing joins I have to the tables in my local database?
This is new territory for me. Sorry if this is such a newbie question.
I'm using MS SQL Server Express and I've added a linked server. (I created the linked server by right mouse clicking on Server Objects, selecting SQL and entering the SQL2 as the name.) Now I'm trying to query a linked table. The following query works.
SELECT * FROM SQL2.PA.dbo.Counties
This one doesn't:
Select * from OPENQUERY(SQL2,"SELECT * FROM SQL2.PA.dbo.Counties")
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near 'SELECT * FROM SQL2.PA.dbo.Counties'.
I have two tables in a linked server that I am trying to accomplish the following:
Server is called Medic, schema is informix, catalog is v001 table names are findet and findhdr
1) join indices (patkey and invno) 2) distinct count (finhdr.patid) 3) sum currency(findet.amount) 4) within a date range(findet.ar_date) 5) having specific criteria (findet.proccode = "99201 thru 99205")
Hi guys I need some help connecting to a LINKED SERVER. I have setup the LINKED SERVER via Enterprise Manager. This is what I did. I know this is a difficult thing to explain so I will try my best and attempt to give you a good understanding of the scenario.
1. I have three servers named DEVUK, DEVUS and DEVASIA. 2. DEVUK I can connect to via my computer and contains a databases called GOD. 3. I went into DEVASIA server and went to Administrative Tools > New ODBC Connection and called it DEVASIAUK. 4. Setup everything in there and tested the connection which completed successfully. 5. I am now on my computer where I have connected to DEVASIA and gone into Server Objects > Linked Servers. 6. I created a new LINKED SERVER and under GENERAL TAB have stated DEVASIAUK and Provider as SQL Server. 7. Security I have used NT_AUTHORITYand option BE MADE USING THE LOGINS CURRENT SECURITY CONTEXT.
I have the SQL Command: SELECT * FROM DEVASIAUK ... tblLocalTable
Am I doing this right? Or am I missing something here? I am new to Linked Servers but it shows it is executing a query but then it says Login Failed.
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
update paeddb1.gold.dbo.controls_peg set amt = t.amt from #temp_peg_control t, paeddb1.gold.dbo.controls_peg p where t.peg = p.peg and t.cntl_type = p.cntl_type and t.fy = p.fy
Could not open table '"gold"."dbo"."controls_peg"' from OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB'. The provider could not support a row lookup position. The provider indicates that conflicts occurred with other properties or requirements. [OLE/DB provider returned message: Errors occurred]
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.

Does anyone have any suggestions??
Many thanks

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''') ***************************
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 3 OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' reported an error. [OLE/DB provider returned message: Oracle error occurred, but error message could not be retrieved from Oracle.] OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].
What I have done; Oracle client uninstalled server restarted and oracle client installed . Linked server deleted and recreated but nothing changed.
Is there a way to set four part reference used in distributed query to a short name in local server, so for each query you do not have to type the LONG four part ref. repeatedly to linked server objects ?
I need to query a linked server (which is Oracle) with some parameters. When I try to use a four part SQL statement, it does not work. But when I try to use OPEENQUERY statement, it works just fine. Problem comes when I need to send some parameters with the OPENQUERY'S 'query' part.
For example, the following statement works just fine:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(OracleLinked, "SELECT ACCOUNTNUMBER, POSTINGDATE FROM ORA_SERVER.FINANCEENTRY WHERE DATEOFENTRY BETWEEN '2000.01.01' AND '2000.01.31'")
But If I try to use:
DECLARE @DynamicSQL VARCHAR(1000), @StartDate VARCHAR(10), @EndDate VARCHAR(10) SET @StartDate = '2000.01.01' SET @EndDate = '2000.01.31'
SELECT @DynamicSQL = "SELECT ACCOUNTNUMBER, POSTINGDATE FROM ORA_SERVER.FINANCEENTRY WHERE DATEOFENTRY BETWEEN '" + @StartDate + "' AND '" + @EndDate + "'" --SELECT @DynamicSQL
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(OracleLinked, @DynamicSQL)
it does not work.
Well, I did some research and found out that OPENQUERY does not accept variables for its arguments. See the link below:(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/sql/ts_oa-oz_5xix.htm)
Then is there any way I can accomplish what I want to on the Remote server?
I have a delete query on a linked server that never ends. I can do a select where ID = x and it returns lickity split but when I do a delete where id = x it never comes back? Any Clues???
I am now facing a problem related to the linked server. I created the connection between server A and B as linked servers. When I execute the following SQL statement on server A,
select * from B.database1.dbo.tableA where id ='12345'
I can get the results within couple of seconds. But the similar query would take several minutes if I switch the server name in the query from B to A and run it on server B! The tables on server A and B actually have the same sizes and the same indexes.
Do you have any clues and suggestions on this issue?
where 'Testaccess' is the name of the linked server and 'test' is the name of the ODBC connection. [The ODBC connection stores the name of the Access datbase.]
I can run sp_tables_ex and view the table_schem, table_cat etc etc
BUT when I try to run a query on the linked server, I get the following message:
"7312 - Invalid use of schema and/or catalog for OLE DB provider '%ls'. A four-part name was supplied, but the provider does not expose the necessary interfaces to use a catalog and/or schema."
I am attempting/using the following command specifying the linked server name.database name.owner.table name in the FROM clause:
I have an ODBC DSN that lets me see the data via Access, however, in EM I set up the DB2 server as a linked server using the OLEDB provider for ODBC, with a Linked server name of DB2DB, a product name of MY DB2 connection and the data source of db2 (which is the DSN name) The Provider string, Location and Catalog I leave blank Under security, I assign all users to be a valid username/password
I can then see the tables in EM, but when I try to query them in QA I get this
Select * from db2db...customer
Server: Msg 7313, Level 16, State 1 Line 1 Invalid Schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'
I am using SS7.0, and DB2 connect V7.1 I do not have/use SNA server
My actual requirement is to have a job autmatically run every day to copy certain records onto the SQL Server, but the first step is to be able to query the DB2 data
any ideas ? I think I need to enter something in the catalog box, but what ?
We want to read data from a DB2 view so we set up a linked server in SQL7 (ODBC via Neon's Shadow Direct) but when we issue the following type of query from Query analyzer: select * from openrowset(my_db2link,'select * from test.myview where mycol = ''value''') it just hangs, and we can't kill the process (the Enterprise manager 'KIll Process' button has no effect!) - the only way we can get rid of these queries seems to be to stop/restart SQL Server When we look at current activity in Enterprise manager the process seems to be waiting for a resource (either MISCELLANEOUS or PAGEIOLATCH) The query works OK if I run it on the server using Shadow direct, so the error must be between SQL Server and Shadow direct Has anyone seen this error before? Thanks in advance, John
Three weeks ago we began a project that involved importing data from an AIX DB2 6 environment via a linked server configuration. Following the data import a second query was executed against the db2 environment using data that resides in the new table within SQL 7 in the join statement (a very basic example is provided below) This was all accomplished in sequence via a package.
SELECT F_NAME, L_NAME, PASSWD
FROM SQL7.LOCALSRV.dbo.NEWUSERTBL as new, DB2.SYSIBM.MASTERTBL.OLDUESRTBL as old
WHERE new.USER_ID = old.USER_ID
Originally we had no problems and while the execute time was not exactly speedy it was tolerable as we would revisit optimization after we established if what we were trying to accomplish was feasible. At the outset the first data import to build the local table was immeadeate and then the distributed query to retirieve more info to build another local table against the DB2 server took aproxiamtly 1 minute per user row returned. Currently we are looking at still having an immeadeate data import (a matter of seconds to build the first table)but now we are looking at more than 1 hour returned for 1 correesponding row of data off of DB2. We are utilizing the the IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER.
Any input or suggestions as to what could be causing this or perhaps a more efficeint way to code the statement would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I am trying to run a select statements against linked server. I have NT server running SQL7 Enterprice and Rumba2000. I used Rumba driver to configure a DSN (ODBC based) to a AS400/DB2. Then I created a linked server. Good news are : I can see a list of tables. Bad news : when I am trying to run a select statement either through stored procedures or directly in SQL analyzer I am receiving error message Object 'linkedservername.databasename.tablename' doesn't exist. What am I missing here?
We are using linked servers, additionally, some of our tables are being merge replicated with identity ranges.
When I run a SELECT statement on a non-merged table looking for a constant value, I get the proper return.
When I run a SELECT statement on a merge-repl. table looking for a constant value like "5", it returns 0 records, execution plan says it's using a "Constant Internal table" - however, when I run the same select statement and change the where clause to ">4" it returns the row with "5" and whatever other rows match the criterion. What in the world is going on?
I am working on a linked server where a few of the queries use almost exclusively remote tables from 1 other server. I have read somewhere that there are options to specify where a query is performed but can't find it anywhere. Could someone tell me the command and how to use it or point me to something to read about it.
Hi,I'm getting errors when trying to run a query over linked servers thatworks fine on a single server. The error text that comes up in QA isas follows;Server: Msg 8180, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Statement(s) could not be prepared.Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'Qry1208'.Server: Msg 125, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Case expressions may only be nested to level 10.Both servers are using same version SQL 2k, SP3 and (as far as I cansee) the level of nesting goes down 3 maybe 4 deep at the max?Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.Rob.
I have attempted to set up a linked server to an Excel 2003 workbook, and I get an OLEDB error when I attempt to query against it. Some notes about the workbook;
-It has one worksheet in it named 'Add Revenue Accts'. -The name of the workbook is 'Revenue_to_All_Accounts.xls' -Its location is \cdnbwfin1dataCDunnComdataReportsReba_HolmesRevenue_All_Accounts
I have the linked server configured as follows;

When I attempt the following query; SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(REVENUE_TO_ALL_ACCOUNTS, 'SELECT * FROM [Add Revenue Accts$]')
The following message appears, and no results are returned;
