Hi all, hoping someone can help.
I have created an ODBC connection to a remote MySQL database.
I can then go into DTS wizard and specify this ODBC connection, it all goes through fine and I can see the tables on the remote server and import data.
The problem arises when I try and create a linked server using the same ODBC connection. I get the following error, when I try to view the tables.
I am so stuck. Any help would be very much appreciated.
I am currently trying to complete part of my A-level coursework but am stuck.
i am creating a website for a restaurant on which customers can submit information to do with four areas: --------------------- Bookings Comments Job Applications Pre-order ----------------------
i have used access alot in the past and had no problems creating a running model of my final database.
i have built my website and created the four tables in the alloted MySQL area that came with my website package.
BIG QUESTION:
how do i create the interface for people to submit data and for it to be sent to my database?
i am a complete beginner to MySQL using it for the first time this week so im not sure what i need to do in the slightest to solve this issue
Hello,I have a problem. I've linked MySql server to MsSql, in MySql I have atable with Latvian data(character set is ucs2, ucs2_general_ci) andthe problem is that when I use openquery to read data from MySQLserver, some characters are not translated correctly! I receivequestion symbols instead of Latvian special characters.Maybe someone had this kind of problem with collation?
Has anyone successfully used cherry's oledb provider for MYSQL to create a linked server from MS SQLserver 2005 to a Linux red hat platform running MYSQL.
I can not get it to work.
I've created a UDL which tests fine. it looks like this

I have an internal Project Management and Scheduling app that I wrote internally for my company. It was written to use MySQL running on a Debian server, but I am going to move it to SQL Server 2000 and integrate it with our Accounting software. The part I am having trouble with is the user login portion. I previously used this:
PHP Code:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = "$username" AND user_password = password("$password")";
Apparently the password() function is not available when accessing SQL Server via ODBC. Is there an equivalent function I could use isntead so the passwords arent plaintext in the database? I only have 15 people using the system so a blank pwd reset wouldn't be too much trouble.
I'm writing my first web site using VS 2005 and with my login page I'm trying to link with my SQL database using the following setting in my web.config file <appSettings> <add key="SQLDB" value="server=STEVE-LT; database=MasterDB; uid=sa pwd="/></appSettings> Then in my Login.aspx file I use the following code to access the SQL database Dim Sc As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("SQLDB"))Dim SqlCmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("Select Password, Name from Login")SqlCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure Sc.Open()SqlCmd.Connection = Sc This raises the following error message A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) Could someone please tell me where I am going wrong. Thanks
I can't seem to link a 6.5 database from 7.0 and there's nothing in help which seems to help. Is it a "SQL Server" or do you have to use the OLE DB Provider? If the latter, what's supposed to be in the Product, Data Source, Provider String and Catalog fields? What about security? I've tried everything I can think of and can't get it to work. I also get errors creating a new DTS package that says "Could ot create Component Categories Manager", and then "Error during creation of DTS Package". I installed the desktop version of 7 on an NT Workstation. Has anyone successfully linked a 6.5 server in this environment?
Hi, I am using sqlserver2005, when i make linked server connection between sqlserver2005 and oracle10g . It shows an error like that " Particular table doesnot exist or user doesn't have permission to connect ti this table"and below this one message is shown which is " Message 7314, line16".But i am giving it a proper "username/password ". In this linked server i am using Oracle10g new provider "ODAC101040.exe". so, please elaborate my such problem and also gives me the solution of this problem. Thanx regards gautam
We recently upgraded a number of databases from MS Access 2000 to SQL Server 2000. I need to make it so that users can display the data from the SQL Server so I created some link tables in Access for them to view the data without using SQL Server Enterprise Manager. This works fine in tables with only a few thousand rows of data. However some of the tables have 100K+ rows of data, and these are not displaying the data. When someone tries to view the data in one of these tables all they see is #Deleted in every column. Is it possible to link to tables in SQL Server with large numbers of rows and view this info in Access?
Rather than using the upsize wizard in MS Access to connect to tables on a backend SQL server, how would I go about linking an Access Database to an existing table on an SQL server?
OK here is my situation: I work in a laboratory with a 10 year old instrument that stores results in an Access 97 DB. The DB is beautifully designed and implemented. The problem is that since the software is so old, once the DB gets above a few MB in size the application starts to fail. So their solution is to Backup (make a copy) and Cleanup (delete data older than X days) once a week. So what I end up with is a bunch of copies of the DB, which fragments the data that I need. In order to get the data results I have been using an Access 2003 DB linked to this one (because I can't create Views in that database). The lab users then use the linked DB directly or I have written some automation code in Excel VBA (ADO) to simplify it for the other users. This allows us to query data immediately as it is produced.
My hope is that I can somehow get all of the data into a SQL Server DB. Now I have imported one of the backup copies of the DB in and the table structure and data imports fine into SQL Server, but I end up with duplicate rows because the different DB backup files have overlapping data, and for some reason there aren't PKeys. Also, I'd prefer to have some way of automating the input. Something like a trigger on the Access table so that any new data is imported into the SQL DB automatically. I doubt this is possible, but that is generally what I am trying to do and I am out of ideas. The ultimate goal is that the SQL DB will always be "updated" and I can use that as my query source and take advantage of the power of SQL Server.
Hopefully that all made sense... if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.
Our client wants some changes/modifications in his DB but he does notwant us to touch the original Server. What would be the best/ fastestsolution for two SQL Servers connecting each other?Thx.
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.
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
I have an existing Access DB with many Tables, Forms, Queries and Reports. I need to put a SQL Server Back end on this database.
Do I need to code a mirror images of these objects or is there some way to export these into SQL Server?
Also, where do I deal with assigning usernames and passwords? Access or SQL Server. I need to have different views for different users based upon their rights (user, admin)
I am trying to implement linked servers and I am having some trouble. The setup is as follows: I have two machines with the same SA login/pwd. BOTH machines have a database called: Federated_Bridge.
On machine 1: Federated_Bridge contains a table Fed_Entity_1
On machine 2: Federated_Bridge contains a table Fed_Entity_2
Machine 1, when I look it up in SQL Enterprise Manager it says: (local)
Machine 2, when I look it up in SQL Enterprise Manager it says: REALIBM2
When I expand those, I can see the databases folder and I can then see Federated_Bridge respectively.
On machine 1 (local) I am trying to create a linked server. I use the following SP call:
---------
use master go EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'TEST3', @srvproduct = 'SQLServer OLEDB Provider', @provider = 'SQLOLEDB', @datasrc = 'REALIBM2Federated_Bridge'
The above queries seem to execute fine. Afterwards, when I check in Enterprise manager, I can see under linked servers TEST3 .. but no tables or views are showing.
When I run the following select query from query analyzer, I get an error message:
SELECT * FROM Test3.Federated_Bridge.dbo.Fed_Entity_2
I need to create a Linked Server in SQL 2000 to a text file. Importing the file is not an option. It has to be linked. I tried creating a ODBC link to it but I must be doing something wrong because it didn't work.
I am trying to link an existing SQL 2000 server to a new 2005 box, but for some reason it will not link. I tried another 2000 server and that one worked perfectly well.
When I link it and perform a simple query... select a, b from [server1].[db1].[dbo].tablec
I receive a 7314 message with text "OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "server1" does not contain the table "].[db1].[dbo].tablec". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
What's odd is that I was able to link the problematic server to other SQL 2000 servers with no previous issues.
I am using an MDB file to talk to a SQL Server. I would like to use pass-through queries to keep as much of the processing on the server as possible. However, I have been told that the results of such queries will be read-only. How do I keep the processing on the server but generate read-write answers to my queries?
Hi, I have 2 similar databases on the same SQL server (due to licencing and customisation issues for off the shelf software).
I would like to create a third database with site specific lookup tables to map data across to site codes, to do summary queries for data reporting, and to create a single point for data access. I can't modify the 2 databases.
I have created the third database and added the necessary tables, relationships, views, etc. But, how do I link to tables in the other databases on the same server so that I can do joins in a query/view ? I have SQL Server Enterprise manager.
I need to connect SQL Server 2000 to DB2 on z/OS through DB2 Connect 8.I can successfully connect and query data through a System DSN, buttrying to link the server using this DSN and MSDASQL fails (can't seemto find the DB2 Connect server). I've also tried IBM's OLE/DB driver(IBMDADB2).Has anyone successfully linked to DB2 on a mainframe through DB2Connect 8.x via either ODBC or OLE/DB drivers?
Has anyone successfully linked to an Linux Oracle server running 9i? We are unable to get the link working.....have installe dvarious drivers and still get connection refused. Any thoughts?
I am trying to add a linked table to my server, it is an access table.
Here is the code i am using but i get an error: EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'AITdb_be2', @provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', @srvproduct = 'Access', @datasrc = '\kcapp03deptsCommonEIQAIT DBTestAITdb_be.mdb' GO
-- Set up login mapping using current user's security context EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = 'AITdb_be2', @useself = 'false', @rmtuser = 'Admin', @rmtpassword = '' GO
-- List the tables on the linked server EXEC sp_tables_ex 'AITdb_be2' GO
ERROR: OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "AITdb_be2" returned message "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\kcapp03deptsCommonEIQAIT DBTestAITdb_be.mdb'.

Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 41 Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "AITdb_be2".
I have a sql server 2005 db. Is there anyway I can link access to be used as a frontend by my client for viewing the data? is this possible through linked table manager?
I added a linked server successfully; but the only tables accessible areonly the system tables!I do have all the rights on both servers (Windows & SQL server).All the non system tables are designated as DBO.Strange thing is that I was able to access the non system tables onlyfrom the query analyzer (not from the SQL Manager tree) by using thefollowing script:EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'LINKED_SERVER_NAME', N'SQL Server'GOSet ANSI_NULLS onSet ANSI_WARNINGS onGOSelect * From LINKED_SERVER_NAME.Database_name.DBO.table_nameGOThank you very muchMike*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
I have two questions : 1) Linking SQL Server Databases 2) Data Formatting like InputMask
1) I want to know if there is a way to link two seperate SQL server databases (it's tables) within the same server (local server). I created one Global database - with clients, etc. tables. The reason I did it like this is that I have to handle three seperate invoices databases, but using the same clients, etc. tables to get their information from. I used MS Access like this, linking Clients, etc tables from the Clients Database with the three other Databases. It worked fine but now I need some new features like setting the InvoiceNumber to something different, eg . 04/0001 for this year and then 05/0001 for next year. My Access databases can't change this numbers - it's just a autonumber I used. I know some Visual Basic code can make a change like perhaps adding a new column like InvYear and then adding it together with InvoiceNumber to get the Invoice Number, but I want to change it to SQL Server because I want to learn how SQL Server works. I am just starting out and not doing courses.
2) The other thing is I want to know if there is some feature in SQL Server to make data input easier, like a InputMask in Access where you can let a text column be formatted as you want. Eg. for a telephone number, it can store it in the format you made; like (011) 123 4567, not like you typed it : 0111234567.
Attempting to build a report were you can place a specific code in the parameter field and it will return all row values based on that particular code. I have a similar report that works great, but the specific code is just in 1 column, the one I'm trying to create has the potential to have that code in up to 20 different spots. I have the report built, but the issue I'm facing is linking the parameter. Is there a way to link 1 parameter to multiple column options?
Here's an example:
Docflo Distribution Group Queue Status Pend1 Pend 2 Pend 3 Pend 4 Pend 5 ABC ABC1 Catch All NEW 123 126 125 621 129 ABC ABC1 Various PENDED 621 123 872 542 630
Right now if I were to link the parameter to the Pend1 field, I would get every line I wanted that had Pend "123", but it would not include any of the lines where Pend "123" was in Pend 2, Pend 3, Pend 4, so on.
How would I link the parameter to more than 1 column so it would return all rows with a specific code no matter which Pend column it was in?
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.
