This is a newbie question. I tried to create a link table in ACCESS 2000 linking to SQL Server 2000.The table name is automatically put table owner before the real table name. For example, "customer" owned by "dbo" is named "dbo_customer" in Access 2000.
Any idea of preventing this renaming? Thanks.
I am using SQL Server 2005 and trying to create a linked server on Oracle 10. I used the commands below:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'test1',
@srvproduct = 'Oracle',
@provider = 'MSDAORA',
@datasrc = 'testsource'
exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = 'test1',
@useself = 'false',
@rmtuser='sp',
@rmtpassword='sp'
When I execute
select * from test1...COUNTRY
I get the error. "The OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "...." does not contain the table "COUNTRY". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table."
The 'sp' user I am connecting is the owner of the table. What could be the problem ?
Thanks a lot.
Strange one here - I am posting this in both SQL Server and Access forums
Access is telling me it can't append any of the records due to a key violation.
The query:
INSERT INTO dbo_Colors ( NameColorID, Application, Red, Green, Blue )
SELECT Colors_Access.NameColorID, Colors_Access.Application, Colors_Access.Red, Colors_Access.Green, Colors_Access.Blue
FROM Colors_Access;
Colors_Access is linked from another MDB and dbo_Colors is linked from SQL Server 2000.
There are no indexes or foreign contraints on the SQL table. I have no relationships on the dbo_ table in my MDB. The query works if I append to another Access table. The datatypes all match between the two tables though the dbo_ tables has two additional fields not refrenced in the query.
I can manually append the records using cut and paste with no problems.
I have tried re-linking the tables.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brad
I have two tables that share a common identity row. I need to build a query where data that exists in one table does not contain data in the other table. For example, table 1 has columns of Owner_ID, LastName, FirstName and table 2 has columns Auto_ID, Owner_ID, AutoMake. Both tables are joined by the Owner_ID column. I need a query that provides all owners from table 1 who do not have an entry in table 2.
Thanks in advance,

SQL Server 7.0 (SP1)
Error:
------
OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata. An extra column was supplied during execution that was not found at compile time.
A column was deleted from the a table on the linked server and now this message appears when using the linked server definition to access the table. Deleting/Recreating the Linked Server has no effect. I found an earlier note on this...but it just kind of ended with no resolution. Anyone have any thoughts on this now.
Thanks for any input.
Is it possible to check/notify if something (record) has changed in the linked table (from linked server) and automatically update table in local one?

Hi
I've created a linked table connection to an external data source within sql server 2005.
The link looks OK, I can see all the tables etc, but I want to create a view on another database to some of the tables on the linked database.
How do I perform something as simple as a select statement as I can't seem to be able to select anything.
Is there something that i need to do first in order to be able to select fields from the linked table?
Thanks
Hello
I have an SQL 2005 Express table with the fields DocID (Unique), DocTitle, DocPath and DocSubmitter.
I am using a Web Form to insert records, I can do the Title (textbox) and Path (FileUpload) no problem.
The submitter is linked via a submitterID relationship to another table, submitters. So it will be expecting a number (1-30) not a name as listed in a dropdown list on the web form.
How do I update this field???
Thanks, Mark
I work on an MS Access project ( *.apd - file) that is linked with a
SQL-express server 2005 (local installed). On this server are 2 databases x
and y.
I linked some tables of database x to y and here's the problem: the linked
tables are read-only.
My authentication for the server is Windows authentication and I'm
administrator.
I say this because I think the problem is a security problem.
when I try to change data in the
linked table in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, I get now the follow error:
---------------------------
No row was updated.
The data in row 12 was not committed
Error source: .Net SqlClient Data provider.
Error Message: Transaction context in use by another session.
Correct the errors an retry or press ESC to cancel the change(s).
---------------------------------
All other programs are close, except MSE
thanks a lot!!!!!
Can somebody help me to make the linked tables are not read-only? What is
the problem, what did I wrong?
Thanks a lot!
I currently have a database that I can update in Microsoft Access by going into datasheet view of the table and just changing the value of a given field.
Here is the problem. I have made a copy of this database by backing it up and restoring to a new database. Now when I go into Access datasheet view to update, I get the following error: "ODBC--update on a linked table '<tablename>' failed". I have tried restoring to a database on the same server as well as others and have checked for differences set for each database as well as differneces in indexes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Using Microsoft SQL 2000
When creating a table I want to be able to specify not only the db to create it on but also which server to create it on. I have two servers that are linked together, I can view all data without issue.
Doing further research it looks like with the create table command you can tell it the new table name and the database but you can't tell it which server to use. Is there a way of doing this?
Example :
CREATE TABLE LAPTOP.database.dbo.tableName (a INT) gives the following error:
The object name 'LAPTOP.database.dbo.' contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 2.
I am new to linked servers so basically my question is, how do you point to a server within sql before I execute the create table command?
Tx in advance

This question involves SQL server as well as Access, so I hope that someone can follow.
I'm trying to give someone read and write access to a table in SQL server through a linked table scenario in Access.
I set up a new user account with datareader and datawriter permissions and made sure it went into the particular table as well. I also re-created the DSN on the user's local machine using this new login information. However, each time you open up the table after logging in using this info and try to edit a field, it gives a "Write Conflict" error and gives three choices: Save Changes, Copy to Clipboard, Drop Changes and of course, Save Changes is disabled.
We also tried logging in using the db admin account and it won't work.
Anyone have similar experiences with this? If so, is there a work-around so that you can edit data through Access?
Thanks in advance,
Colin
Can anyone tell me how to prevent rounding up in a table. I have tried to change the table properties from Long Integer to Decimal however I cannot as "This property cannot be modified in linked tables". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thankx
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
We're having a few linked servers in our company. some tables in one of the linked servers include columns (better saying, foreign keys) of tables in another server. I wonder if there's a way to create a foreign key referencing one column in another server. That is, suppose there's Column A in table A in Server A which references Column B in table B in server B, is there a way to create column A as foreign key referencing column B?
Any idea is appreciated.

The following problem is in Access 2003 as front end and SQL Server Express holding the data.
I have about 50 tables in Access linked to the SSE.
When I try to open and work with the linked tables using the following code, some of the table works fine and other give error 3622.
********************************************
Dim Tab1 As Recordset, DB1 As Database, SQL1 As String
Set DB1 = CurrentDb
SQL1 = "SELECT * FROM Any_Table"
Set Tab1 = DB1.OpenRecordset(SQL1, DB_OPEN_DYNASET)
do the required work with Any_Table
Tab1.Close: Set DB1 = Nothing
********************************************
I can not figure out why some table open fine and some give error.
If I use ADO all tables will open without problem but it works much slower then the code above.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks
I just got the solution from another forum, a dbSeeChanges option must be added to the open statment.

View 6 Replies View RelatedInsert statement to remote server is running very slowly. I have run Profiler and find there is a 'sp_cursor' call for each row. The source system is SQL2005 and destination is SQL2000(sp4). The linked server is using 'SQL server' type connection. Source query is against a single table with a where clause. source and destination table are identical with Primary keys. Purpose is just to move the rows. Connection is a slow network connection - should be ok. I have already overcome same problem for related update and delete queries by use of 'EXECUTE (query) AT LinkedServer' that works great - but insert can not take advantage of this...

Hi,
I'm trying to copy all the data from a single table across to a remote linked server and I'm having all sorts of problems.
The SQL query I'm attampting is this:-
Code:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'GODZILLA', N'SQL Server'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'GODZILLA', 'False', 'rmtUser', 'lclUser', 'password'
Go
--DELETE TABLE
DROP TABLE GODZILLA.Racing.dbo.horse
--SELECT INTO
SELECT horse_id, horse_filename, horse_time, horse_new, horse_driveLetter
INTO GODZILLA.Racing.dbo.horse
FROM Racing.dbo.horse
EXEC sp_droplinkedsrvlogin 'GODZILLA', 'lclUser'
EXEC sp_dropserver 'GODZILLA'
Basically - this doesn't work as an error is returned:-
Code:
The object name 'GODZILLA.Racing.dbo.' contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 2.
Now - it has no problem running a SELECT (ie read-only) query from the remote DB but why does it have a problem with writing? And if thats the issue, why doesn't it say so. Am I going about this the right way???
Please help!
Hi,
I am trying to use linked tables to connect SQL Server 2000 to a legacy system using dbase III files. (I need real time read only access to these files)
I have created a linked table from SQL server to a folder on the C drive which contains the dbase III files, using an ODBC DSN which uses "Microsoft dbase driver (*.dbf)". DSN tested successfully using Excel. Linked server connection is then created using "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers".
The dbase tables appear OK in Enterprise manager, but I cannot get a query to work in SQL Anayzer, using the 4-part name syntax.
My query is just :
SELECT * FROM LinkedTable...customers
Error message is "Invalid schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'". Now I am pretty sure dbase files do not support any sort of schema / catalog set up, so I suspect SQL Server is looking for something it is not going to get.
One clue might be that in Enterprise manager, under the catalog column, I get the pathname to the dbase file, ie c:customers.dbf, which I cannot enter in the 4-part syntax.
Any suggestion welcome !!!

Can the DTS execute SQL task recognize a table in an Access database that is linked from another Access database?
I'm attempting to use a DTS Execute SQL task connected to Access1.mdb to make a new table in Access1.mdb that is using a Subquery from a linked table in Access2.mdb . (I know it sounds convoluded..) Its giving me an error in my FROM clause as if it can't recognize the linked table from Access2.mdb.
The reason why I'm doing this is that I'm not sure how to run an Access make table query from DTS that will overwrite the existing table in Access. I get an error that the table already exists.
Any Help?
