I'm very new to SQL server so forgive me for the newbie questions.
Basically I have some tables/files on an AS/400.
I want to have a link to those files/tables from SQL server 2005 (like how you would link a file in msAccess.
Is this possible?
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
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.
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

Hi,
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.

Hello!Does anybody know how to get tables structure of linked server (DBF tablesvia ODBC connection). I know that table structure of "normal" (not linked)server can get from systables and syscolumns tables, but now I need astructure of linked server tables.Thanks!

I read somewhere that sql server needs tocopy the tables locally to the temp db and does the join there, hence Iwas hoping to dump the data of the local database into a temp table onthe remote server and then do a join with OPENQUERY, which will executethe query on the linked server and return the results.

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...

I was trying to figure out what the OPENQUERY Syntax is to Insert into SQL Server Table from Oracle Linked Server.
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi,
I would like to join two tables: one on a local server which I have admin access to and another server which I only have read access. The local table is very small, but the remote table is very large.
If I look at Query Analyzer's execution plan, it appears that the join will be done locally (i.e. the entire table is transferred from the remote server and then joined to my local table). Is there a way to create a temp table using linked servers, transfer my small local table to the remote server and then perform the join on the remote server? In the past, I have been able to use openquery to restrict the data to a small subset that is transferred but the local table is a little too large for that.
I appreciate any advice / guidance anyone can offer me!
I wonder if it possible to move data from tables on a linked server to a "normal database"?
Name linked server: Covas
Name table on linked server: tblCountries
Name field: cntCountryName
Name "normal" database: CovasCopy
Name "normal" table: Countries (or dbo.Countries)
Name "normal" field: Country
This is just a test setup. I figure that if I get this working the rest will be easier.
My current query:
select * from openquery(COVAS,'
INSERT INTO CovasCopy.dbo.Countries(Country)
SELECT cntCountryName FROM db_covas.tblCountries;')
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 !!!
Hello
I have a local SQL2005 server with a linked SQL2000 server. I would like to know how to create a temporary table in the remote server in such a way that I can make an inner join as follows; my idea is to optimized a distributed query by doing so:
create table #myRemoteTempTable
insert into #myRemoteTempTable
select * from myLocalTable
update myRemoteTable
set
Value=#myRemoteTempTable.Value
from myRemoteTable
inner join #myRemoteTempTable on #myRemoteTempTable.ID=myRemoteTable.ID
I'm running SQL Server 2008 (x64) version.
How can i create a linked server for Microsoft Visual Foxpro databases ?
I'm using Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 driver.
I success create a linked server, and can browse all tables from linked server connections, but why when query data using
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(PIP_TEST,'select * from tbctrl')
It getting error message
Cannot process the object "select * from tbctrl". The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "pip_test" indicates that either the object has no columns or the current user does not have permissions on that object.
We have 2 instances. One is sqlgpscluster and another is [sqlcdsclustersqlcds]. We have created linked server between sqlgpscluster and [sqlcdsclustersqlcds]. We run the below query on sqlgpscluster instance
UPDATE [sqlcdsclustersqlcds].CDSBusiness.dbo.tblInsertNowAppMonitoring
SET NoCabsDateTime = GETDATE(),City=@City
,Area = dbo.fn_FindAreaSubAreaBasedOnLatLong(@PickUpLat,@PickUpLng)
WHERE CustomerMobileNo=@CustomerMobileNo
We are seeing the below error:
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "sqlcdsclustersqlcds" could not UPDATE table "[sqlcdsclustersqlcds].[CDSBusiness].[dbo][tblInsertNow AppMonitoring]". The rowset was using optimistic concurrency and the value of a column has been changed after the containing row was last fetched or resynchronized.
I have created a linked server using my local SQL2005. The linked server can be seen as a linked server, but the database can not been expanded to see the tables, stored procedures, views, and other details regarding the linked server. The only method that I have found that will allow me to see all the details is to use XP's Remote Desktop Connection to access the database. Has anyone else experienced this problem, if so, how did you resolve it?

Good afternoon one and all,
I have the folowing problem that I could use some help with :
I have an SQL server database acting as a back end to an access dbase. The SQL srv table contains over 32 million records and I am trying to use an append query (in access) to import a further 2 million records to the SQLSRV table. The append query fails with the message 'Insert on table bcdsales failed' followed by an ODBC timeout error message. I can append one record fine but a mass import fails.
Unfortunately i can't use SQL srv to do the import (internal policy says we must stick with access front end for now).
Any and all ideas welcomed.
TIA for your time and attention

I have a historical table on a dedicated SQL Server (let's call it the reporting db) that is populated every morning with production data that does not already exist. The data in the prod table is purged after 7 days and nothing is ever deleted from the historical table. I have set up the linked server between the two 2008 SQL Servers, but when I try to run this simple query from the reporting DB, it takes more than 5 minutes and still "executing". I eventually have to cancel it:
-- INSERT INTO Temp_Import_historical
SELECT TOP 1 *
FROM [192.168.1.100].ProdDB.dbo.Temp_Import_historical a
WHERE NOT EXISTS (select [Temp_Import_ID] from Temp_Import_historical where a.[Temp_Import_ID] = Temp_Import_historical.[Temp_Import_ID])
I have omitted the INSERT statement on purpose, since I can't even get to output 1 row. Why this is such a resource intensive query?
I have a situation that I need to add a field to a table over linked server. The specifications of this is dynamic and it is being done in TQL / Stored procedures and this can not change. My code is generating the statement just fine and if I copy paste it to a new SSMS window and execute it WORKS.. The problem is I need to dynamically generate the statement (I am doing that just fine, I THINK). THEN I need to execute the statement IN THE SPROC, this part is not working.
Here is the code:
SET @AlterSQL = @DestinationServerName + '.[' + @DestinationDBName +'].' + @DestinationSchemaName + '.sp_executesql N'' ALTER TABLE '
+ @DestinationTableName + ' ADD ' + @TempColumn + ' int' + CHAR(39)
The above Creates this when I expose it via a PRINT statement:
addb15.[FSParallel].dbo.sp_executesql N' ALTER TABLE Node ADD ImportIdentity int'
After I create the statement I use:
EXEC @AlterSQL
And this returns the following error:
Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Procedure ETLDynamicImport, Line 244
Could not find stored procedure 'FSParallel.dbo.sp_executesql N' ALTER TABLE Node ADD ImportIdentity int''.
<hr noshade size='1' width='250' color='#BBC8E5'>
I'm executing a sp name [uspGeneral_Getinfo]. It return a global temporary table's name and I want to get data from that table.

Hi,
I have an Access 2003 front end that contains a number of linked tables on SQL Server 2005 SE. I recreated the application on a second network for testing and was able to use the Linked Table Manager to refresh the database connections. The problem is when I try and add another linked table. I select Link Tables from the menu and then when I select 'ODBC Databases()' from the 'Files of Type' list box, the Link window closes right away.
Any suggestions?
Hi Friends,
I want to have solution for one of the problem.
The requirement is like this :
I want to write stored procedure or function which will take parameter as SQL Server name, DB name, UserName and passwod.
This Stored proc will connect to Remote server using these parameters and will get the count of the rows in one of the table.
I created the connection using the linked server
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @SerevrName,N'SQL Server'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @SerevrName, False, Null, @ServerUserName,@SerevrPws
Now I am trying to get count using following query :
set @SQLQuery = 'SELECT count(*) FROM [' + @SerevrName + '].' + @SrcDataBaseName +'.dbo.<<TableName>>'
But the question is that the execution goes this way :
exec(@SQLQuery)
Now how to assign this count value to some variable so that I can use it later ...?
Going forword I want to use cursor and get the rows in these table using cursor ...?
How can I assign values returned from any runtime query to temporary variable or table ...?
I tried another approach also:
I put remote connection and query execution in inner stored proc called usp_GetTableRowCount
set @SQLQuery = 'SELECT count(*) FROM [' + @SerevrName + '].' + @SrcDataBaseName +'.dbo.<<TableName>>'
exec(@SQLQuery)
and in outer stored proc : referenced the inner stored proc like this
exec @AFSDataRowCount = dbo.usp_GetTableRowCount <<Server Name>>,<<User Name>>, <<Password>>, <<DBName>>
The execution of dbo.usp_GetTableRowCount <<Server Name>>,<<User Name>>, <<Password>>, <<DBName>> gives me exact no of rows
but when I see value of AFSDataRowCount, I get 0.
Kindly help me out whereever I am making mistake or else pls tell me any other approach to follow.
Thanks in advance.
I have a 2000 machine which calls a stored procedure on another 2000 machine via a linked server. The results come back and insert into a temporary table.
When I use the same code executing the from the 2000 machine over to 2005 machine via a linked server I cannot insert into the table. But I am able to see the data if I remove the insert statement.
I have tried to place the data into a permanent table without success. I have also checked to be sure the linked server properties are the same.
Any help on this would be appreciated. Below is the code. It is very simple and returns only one value but the bigger procedure that is ran returns several records and mutliple columns. This seems to easy but doesn't work.
DECLARE @retval AS INT
DECLARE @value AS INT
SET @value = 4
CREATE TABLE #TempTable (Value DECIMAL(19, 10) NULL)
INSERT INTO #TempTable
EXEC @RetVal = Server.Database.dbo.testproc @value
SELECT * FROM #TempTable
DROP TABLE #TempTable
