Linking Database Tables On Different Servers?

Oct 16, 2015

I have two production servers with two different databases and I was thinking about using Linked Servers, but never did this before.Found this stored procedure

sp_addlinkedserver('servername').Would you just execute this and then run your query after the SP?

Linking SQL 2005 Servers To SQL 2000 Servers Problems

Sep 27, 2007

I am in the middle of a major migraton project, moving from x86 SQL 2000 to IA64 SQL 2005. I have a business need to link to several legacy servers. I have a number of problems I am trying to solve.

1) Linking a Kerberos server to a non-Kerberos server.
2) Linking x64 or IA64 servers to x86 servers.
3) Linking SQL 2005 to SQL 2000.

Two of the errors I am encountering are:
------------------------------
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Communication link failure".
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10054)
------------------------------
And
------------------------------
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for the linked server "SCDC250DB" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB".
OLE DB provider "SQLCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Invalid authorization specification".
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7399)

If someone has worked through these problems before, I would appreciate it if you could direct me to the relevant documentation to resolve these issues.

Thanks!

We have reporting services on 1 server, while the data comes off of another which does not have rs and on sql server 2000. I was able to build the reports and deploy it. But the report wont render. The error message is shown below.

My question is will linking servers work and if anyone has done this could you pl provide an example?

Thanks in advance

An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)

Cannot create a connection to data source 'sds1'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)


For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors

Linking SQL Server 2000 Servers In Express 2005

Jun 5, 2006

Hello,

I was wondering whether it is possible to query linked servers in SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 if those servers linked to are SQL Server 2000 machines?

I have added some linked servers to express and queried them, however the login timeout is expiring. I thought it might be because of an incompatability.

Cheers,

SQL 2000 Enterprise Linking Of Servers Not Pulling Data.

Dec 8, 2006

I know this is an easy one for most of you but this is new territory for me.
I am trying to link a production application database to an existing SMS database.
Both of these databases are SQL 2000. I have sa access to both of them.
I have an accreditation application that deals with internal processes within our active directory network. We are using SMS database collections to provide the discovery for reporting of this application database and I want to compare the collection to the existing data between the 2 databases.


For simplicity I will define them both.
Application Database we will call €œA-Database€?
SMS Database we will call €œB-Database€?

I have gone into the A-Database and gone to linked Servers under the security node in enterprise manager. I created a new linked database and selected the SQL Server option in the general Tab.
In the Security Tab I selected the €œBe made using the security context€? and used €œsa€? for the Remote login and the CORRECT sa password for the With password option.
The server options tab remain the same with €?RPC, RPC Out, & Use Remote Collation€? selected.

It appears to connect but there is not any Table or Views showing up. What am I doing wrong here and what do I need to do to link these 2 database engines so I can move forward?

Thanks,
Gene Godsey

SQL Server 2008 :: Comparing Integer Values Across Tables And Database Servers?

Mar 6, 2015

how best to approach a problem involving two tables across two different servers.

Table 1: Contains IP Address along with assessment findings. Lets say the fields are IPADDRESSSTR, FINDING

Table 2: Contains Subnet information stored in integer format. The fields are SITE_ID, LOW, and HIGH

What I'd like to do is load the IP range information into memory and then return the findings from table 1 where the IPADDRESSSTR is between the LOW and HIGH integer value.

1) Is there a way to load all of the ranges from table 2 into an array and then compare all the IP addresses (IPADDRESSSTR) from table 1?

2) How do I convert IPADDRESSSTR (a string) to an integer to perform the comparison.

Linking External Tables

Hi I am a complete sql newbie :)
With that being said I am trying for the life of me to link to a table in another sql database.

For some reason its not letting me link the table instead it is creating a query of the table.

I used the Access upsizing wizard and the access front end.

*grumbles - just wish I could find the upgrading handbook that tells you if you used to do it this way now do it this way*

Proper Way Of Linking Tables?

May 2, 2015

I am no stranger to Databases, I worked a lot with MySQL but never really cared about proper DB design as long as it worked. Now I am playing with SQL in a ASP.NET project and want to get things done the right way.Let's say I have a Movies database. My movies can have multiple genres so I set my tables up like this:

[Movies]
MovieID
MovieName
MovieRelease

[code]....

Is this the proper way of doing things? The problem with this is when I want to enter a record manually I have to know the ID of the movie and the ID of the Genres of the movie. And what about naming conventions? By default the identifier is always Id, from my MySQL experience I liked naming it like the table, same goes with other columns. This is my T-SQL code for above tables in VS-2013.

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Movies] (
[MovieID] INT IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
[MovieName] VARCHAR (50) NOT NULL,
[MovieRelease] NUMERIC (18) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Movies] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([MovieID] ASC)

[code]....

Confused With Linking Tables

Dec 13, 2007

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read this. I get really confused really quickly when it comes to table linking, and I think I am doing it the hard way. I am going to show my stupidity and ask if there is a better way than what I do, because it takes a LOT of querying and seems like a huge waste.

In reality, I have about 20 tables to join like this, but I'm going to use three for the example:

"Main" Table
AcctNoNameHeightWeight
1Bob13
2Phil21
3Jim15
4Lisa22

"Height" Table
HeightIDHeightName
1Giant
2Tall
3Medium
4Short

"Weight" Table
WeightIDW_Name
1Skinny
2Normal
3Overweight
4Obese


What I have been doing is:

SELECT
Main.AcctNo,
Main.Name,
Height.HeightName,
Weight.WeightName
FROM
Main
INNER JOIN Height ON
Height.HeightID = Main.Height
INNER JOIN Weight ON
Weight.WeightID = Main.Weight
WHERE Main.AcctNo < 3


My question: is doing 20 INNER JOINS really the best way to do this with 20 tables, or is there some other way to link Main.Height to Height.HeightID that is less intensive?

Thanks again for reading, and in advance for any information or insight you can provide.

Is there a way that I can get just one row for the case and have the inventors lists Doe, John; Doe, Jane; Buck, Jack? I usually export results to Excel and my people want the inventors in one column for certain reports.

Linking Tables From Other Databases?

Jan 18, 2007

In a database, I am creating a new db. From there, I am setting up thetables, so that I can eventually create a front end (usually access,but I may attempt to be brave and lose the shell.) Anyway, I want touse a table, read-only for a lookup. It exists in another database onour system. Is there a way for me to link it into this database that Iam working on? I would think of it like in access when you go to do anew table and you choose to link the table from somewhere else. Thatis what I want to do. Can anyone possibly step me through this?I know basics of sql server and like to learn.Thanks!

Linking Two Tables Within One Server

Mar 31, 2008

First off, I am a novice in regards to SQL server and have the rudimentary skills to navigate, execute, query under SQL Server Manager. So, please bear with me.

I am working on a program that was not developed by myself, it is for my business and the company that developed it has gone under, so I have no technical support. The program uses SQL Server and ASP.net. We had a recent hard drive crash and I am in the predicament of having to re-install a new instance of the server onto a new computer. I have the most recent saved "data" files within "Microsoft SQL server/MSSQL/Data" directory. It includes the master, model, MSDB, etc. files.

Long story short, I have been successful in making the program operational again and I can connect to the server properly. It even works when web connecting with internet explorer. The problem I am facing is that all of the data is missing. When I connect through SQL Server Manager, I can see that there are two databases, I will name them "data1" and "data2". When I run a query of the tables, all the data is in "data2". All the stored procedures and tables are identical in both "data1" and "data2".

I am assuming (hopefully I'm right) that "data1" and "data2" are somehow linked or joined in some way. Any insight in how to get these two tables to link would be very much appreciated. Again, I am a novice, and will need help with specific coding that I can put into a query window and execute.

Thanks in advanced.

Linking Tables To SQL Server

Apr 23, 2007

I'm new to SQL Server 2000. I decided to purchase this server because my old company (UPS) used the server to help expedite queries and manage on-line reporting. So, now it's up to me to utilize and understand the new server. I have been using MS Access as my front-end for several ad-hoc databases, so I'd like to keep utilizing this method. I want to test my first database using the SQL Server.



I've got everything set up. The IT department has installed the server software on my computer. Within my Access database, I link in tables from a database called "Progress" using a Merant driver. Queries, forms, macros and modules are all pulling from these "linked" tables. Do I need to link these tables into the SQL Server? How do I transistion this database over to SQL? I guess I'm confused about the relationship of how all of this should work.



Right now it looks like this:



PROGRESS ..... linked....... MS Access ....... reporting/results



Where does SQL fit in?

Problem With Linking Tables

Jul 16, 2007

I have an Access database that contains local files and files linked on a SQL server through a DNS connection. I have been using this for years and during that time I have dropped links, added links, changed the DNS server information, etc.



I changed the DNS server information this weekend, deleted all the links, and was ready to start linking the tables with the new DNS information. I click on File >> Get External Data >> Link Tables and am given the traditional file selection dialogue. I go to the bottom (Files of Type) and scroll to the last selection... ODBC Databases().



In the past, after I made that selection, I would then be taken to the ODBC dialogue from my computer to select the connection type and then the actual connection.



Now however, the dialogue immediately stops. It doesn't lock, it just stops and returns me to the Database window from my database as though I wasn't doing anything.



I have reinstalled Office and redone all the updates. Does anyone have any suggestions?



Thanks,

Gary

I need to be able to link this ShoppingCart table to a table called "Size" using the UniqueID (both tables contain a field for UniqueID) in order to obtain the ProductID and CategoryID of the data item. I then need to link the ProductID and CategoryID I obtained from the first part of the SQL statement to a table called "plants" in order to get information from the following fields in the plants table: Common_Name, Latin_Name and Thumb_URL.
So far I've been able to use an INNER JOIN with the Size table to obtain the ProductID and Category ID using....
SELECT * FROM ShoppingCart INNER JOIN Size ON ShoppingCart.UniqueID = Size.UniqueID WHERE CartID = @CartID ORDER BY ProductID
I now need to be able to use the ProductID and Category ID I've obtained from this part of the query to reference the Common Name, Latin Name etc of the data item from the plants table. Is there any way that I could do this?
I do sometimes wonder if I'm making this whole thing a lot more complicated than it needs to be. At the moment I'm storing details about the different types of plants the garden centre sells in the "plants" table. However, some plants are available in different sizes so I've got a table called "Size" which links to the plants table using the ProductID and CategoryID of data items. The Size table has a unique primary key field called "UniqueID" which is used to uniquely identify every plant that the garden centre sells (this cannot be done using Product/CategoryID becuase different sizes of the same plant have the same ProductID/CategoryID). I'm then storing just the CartID, UniqueID and Quantity in the "ShoppingCart" table. There must be an easier way of structuring the whole thing!
I'd really appreciate any help you can offer me.
Many thanks,
Luke
