SQL 2012 :: Create Linked Server For Firebird?

Jan 26, 2015

i didn't figure out how to add a firebird linked server via ODBC

win 7 pro 64
SQL server 2012 express 64
firebird 2.5.3 64
Official ODBC drivers 64

i have created the odbc source without problem, and checked that in visual studio and ssms import data wizard , both show me the data from firebird database but when i try to create a linked server , i have something like this message (the image is from the web)

Transact SQL :: How To Build Dynamic WHERE Clause In Openquery To Linked Database

Jul 17, 2015

I'd like to modify the dates within this where clause to be dynamic, building the date depending on the current year, but everything I try doesn't seem to be syntactically correct.

SELECT *
FROM Openquery(LS_CIS, 'select * from BI_WRKFLW_TASKS where (BI_EVENT_DT_TM>=''1/1/2011'' and (BI_NEEDED_DT_TM>=''1/1/2011''))OR (BI_EVENT_DT_TM>=''1/1/2011'' and BI_NEEDED_DT_TM is null)') AS derivedtbl_1
I'd like to replace ''1/1/2011'' in the where clause with something like:
CAST(CAST(YEAR (GETDATE())-4 AS varchar) + '-' + CAST(01 AS varchar) + '-' + CAST(01 AS varchar) AS DATETIME)

Using Linked Server And OPENQUERY

Oct 19, 2007

I need to run a report using a linked server on SQL 2005. The report was running really slow so I tried doing an OPENQUERY which makes it a lot faster. However, I need to pass some parameters and not sure how to do it using OPENQUERY. Here is the query:

SELECT RTRIM(client.ClientID) AS ClientID, client.name2 AS Client_Name, Project.Project, Project.StatutoryDueDate AS DueDate, Project.Extension1, Project.Extension2, Project.StartDate AS AsofDate, Project.PromiseDate AS CommitmentDate, Project.ReceivedDate AS InfoIn, Task.TaskID, Task.Empid, Task.ActualStartDate, Task.ActualFinishDate, Client.Partner,
STAFF.PersonalTitle AS PIC,
Client.Manager,
MGR.PersonalTitle AS TIC,
Client.Accountant,
ACCT.PersonalTitle AS AIC,
CASE WHEN Task.TaskID = 'PREP' THEN EMP.personaltitle END AS Prep_BY,
CASE WHEN Task.TaskID = 'REV' THEN EMP.personaltitle END AS Rev_By,
CASE WHEN Task.TaskID = 'PREP' THEN Task.ActualStartDate END AS Prep_Date,
CASE WHEN Task.TaskID = 'REV' THEN Task.ActualStartDate END AS Rev_Date,
CASE WHEN Task.TaskID = 'MAIL' THEN Task.ActualFinishDate END AS Mailed_Date,
CASE WHEN Task.TaskID = 'TESNT' THEN Task.ActualFinishDate END AS TE_OUT,
CASE WHEN Task.TaskID = 'TERCD' THEN Task.ActualFinishDate END AS TE_IN
FROM PROJECT, PROJCUS, TASK LEFT OUTER JOIN STAFF EMP ON TASK.EMPID = EMP.EMPID, CLIENT LEFT OUTER JOIN STAFF ON CLIENT.Partner = STAFF.EmpID LEFT OUTER JOIN STAFF MGR ON CLIENT.Manager = MGR.EmpID LEFT OUTER JOIN STAFF ACCT ON CLIENT.Accountant = ACCT.EMPID
WHERE CLIENT.ClientID = PROJECT.ClientID AND CLIENT.Engagement = PROJECT.Engagement AND PROJECT.Project = PROJCUS.Project AND
PROJECT.Engagement = PROJCUS.Engagement AND PROJECT.ClientID = PROJCUS.ClientID AND CLIENT.ClientID = TASK.ClientID AND CLIENT.Engagement = TASK.Engagement AND PROJECT.Project = TASK.Project AND CLIENT.DroppedDate IS NULL AND ((PROJCUS.[~Custom35])='BT') AND (CLIENT.OfficeID in (@OfficeID)) AND (PROJECT.Project in (@Project))

Run Openquery(mdx) Through A Linked Server

Nov 15, 2006

Hi,

I run openquery() from a client application(sql 2005) to query SSAS data(sql 2005) through a linked server(sql 2005), but I get the following error:

OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "LINKEDMINING" returned message "An error was encountered in the transport layer.".
OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "LINKEDMINING" returned message "The peer prematurely closed the connection.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure gettpdt, Line 3
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "LINKEDMINING".

And, I am sure that I have made the MSOLAP provider Allow inprocess.

What can i do for this. Please advise.

RPC Via Linked Server - Openquery?

May 19, 2008

The following used to work before we had to chang the Linked Server Name (Out of my control)

select * from

openquery(LServ1,'SET FMTONLY OFF; exec [LServ1].database1.dbo.proc1 @issue_id=1,@extract_type=1')

Now the Linked Server Name changed from LServ1 ==> LServ1.DOMAINMSSQLSERVER,1200
(1200-Port #)

Now when i change the Linked Server Name, It gives me an error @ openquery.
I tried the following and so far no luck

select * from

openquery(LServ1.DOMAINMSSQLSERVER,1200,'SET FMTONLY OFF; exec [LServ1].database1.dbo.proc1 @issue_id=1,@extract_type=1')
and
select * from
openquery([LServ1.DOMAINMSSQLSERVER,1200],'SET FMTONLY OFF; exec [LServ1].database1.dbo.proc1 @issue_id=1,@extract_type=1')

Basically how do i specify the NEW Linked Server Name(as a paramter for "openquery"?)

Thanks!

Linked Server, Openquery, Oracle

Jan 20, 2000

Can someone please tell me what oracle software needs to be installed on a sql server machine that will link to an Oracle database on an NT4 machine.

Also can you also confirm if you have successfully executed an oracle stored procedure from sql server using the open query function. If yes, How? because I have read about people having prolems executing stored procedures with arguments using the OPENQUERY Function.

Thanks

OPENQUERY Vs EXECUTE On A Linked Server -- What Is Better?

May 22, 2007

Can anyone tell me, if, generally, the performance or the cost of executing a pass-through command on a linked server in SQL Server 2005 would be better using OPENQUERY or the new option with EXECUTE -- whether the two servers are on the same box or not? I haven't been able to find a comparison between the two.

Have there been any tests of the difference?

What effect on performance is there with 'rpc out' set with sp_serveroption so EXECUTE can be used?

To be more specific I have a development box with SQL Server 2005 and Oracle 9.2.

The new option with EXECUTE would be something like the example in MSDN (Example J.) at:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188332.aspx

EXEC ( 'SELECT * FROM scott.emp') AT ORACLE;
GO

Problem With OPENQUERY And Linked Server

Mar 4, 2008

I have a simple SQL statement that runs in a web-based admin system as follows:

INSERT INTO someTable SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY (someLinkedServer, 'SELECT someTable.* FROM someTable WHERE ID = 57')

This works fine on my development system, but on the production system I get the following error:

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "someDB" returned message "Unspecified error".

The linked server definitely exists on the production machine; and the following stored procedure has been run:
exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'someLinkedServer', false, 'machinenameIUSR_macninename', 'Admin', NULLto allow the internet anonymous user account to log into the linked server.

Also:
-- the internet anonymous user has full control permissions over the Access database file
-- the internet anonymous user has full control permissions the administrator/local settings/temp directory (after I read somewhere that this could cause problems; though no such permission is needed to make it work on my development machine.)

As far as I can tell, the production machine (2003 Server) is configured the same way in all relevant respects as the development machine (2000 Server) where everything works.

With such a vague error message, I have no idea where to start, and would appreciate any advice.

FYI - Oracle Linked Server - OpenQuery Deletes

Aug 7, 2000

I thought this may be very helpful for those of you using SQL7 linked server to Oracle 7.3.4 Database. After much research and no answers when opening a case with Microsoft I finally figured out how to delete using Openquery. There are a few missing pieces of information that would of been a great help in BOL. The first is, the Microsoft OLE DB for Oracle is not the correct choice for the data provier as one might think. The correct choice is the Oracle Provider for OLE DB. The next important thing is that the Oracle table you are querying MUST have a unique index on at least one column not necessarily the column in your WHERE clause. Thirdly, you get much better performance and use of indexes if you put the WHERE clause inside the OPENQUERY statement. Here is the syntax that I found to work in my application:

DECLARE @ins_id varchar(7)
DECLARE @sqlstring nvarchar(2000)
Select @ins_id = '123456'
Select @ins_id = convert(int, @ins_id)
select @ins_id

select @sqlstring = 'DELETE FROM OPENQUERY(LinkedServerName,"SELECT * FROM OracleTableName WHERE I_ID = '
+ '' + @ins_id + '' + '")'
select @sqlstring

EXEC sp_executesql @sqlstring

*Note...I had an additional data conversion from varchar to integer in my statement.

I hope this information helps any others who are having trouble performing this type of task.

OPENQUERY Fails To Work With SP On Linked Server

Oct 4, 2007

Hello.
Suddenly OPENQUERY had started to raise an exception 'Msg 7355, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "sql2000" supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. The name was changed at execution time.'
The OPENQUERY stament looks like:

Code Block
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(sql2000, 'execute dbo.sc_List @AmountId = 24, @WorkMode=1, @SortMode=0')

I don't know what has been changed - seems that everyting is OK.
The problem is that sql2000 is MS SQL 2000 server and this statment is executed on the MS SQL 2005 server.
dbo.sc_List is a procedure that selects data and I need insert that data to the temporary table on the sql2005 server to make some calculations.
I've used OPENQUERY to prevent DTC coordinator from starting distributed transaction.
Whole statement originally looks like

Code Block
INSERT INTO #Templates SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(sql2000, 'execute dbo.sc_List @AmountId = 24, @WorkMode=1, @SortMode=0')

where #Template is temporary table with columns that exactly match with stored procedure output.
Help me please - what is wrong with sql servers? I know that this query has been working fine for a months and now - such strange errors. I should say also that strored procedure returns always the same columns when called - there is one large select inside it.
Thank you.

FoxPro Linked Server And Passing Variable Within OPENQUERY

Mar 8, 2005

I'm posting this because I found this solution after much digging.

The goal here is to incorporate a variable parameter within a OPENQUERY and, ultimately build a dynamic Where clause for use within a OPENQUERY linked server routine. I'm posting because I spent a lot of time trying to get this to work and also, have seen other posts here that hinted it wasn't doable.

First of all - there a good quick article that gets close for FoxPro and possibly works as is for ACCESS:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314520

Here's code for a solution:

DECLARE @OPENQUERY nvarchar(4000),
@TSQL nvarchar(4000),
@FAMILY CHAR(10)

SET @FAMILY='Touring'
SET @OPENQUERY = 'SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(VFP,'''

SET @TSQL = 'select cov,family,model from vinmast where family='+'['+@FAMILY+']'')'

EXEC (@OPENQUERY+@TSQL)

All shown are single quotes.

In Visual Foxpro, ' ' or " " or [ ] can be used a delimeters

In addition, if wanting to build a dynamic where clause, you could do something like:

SET @TSQL = 'select cov,family,model from vinmast '
IF <some condition met to include FAMILY filter>
Begin
SET @TSQL=@TSQL+'where family=['+@DUTFAMILY+']'''
SET @TSQL=@TSQL+ ')'
End
-----------------
Here's the entire Stored Procedure:

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.ewo_sp_DUTLookup
(
@DUTPROJECT char(25)=NULL,--Project
@DUTFAMILY char(10)=NULL,--Family
@DUTMODEL char(20)=NULL,--Model
@DUTYEAR char(4)=NULL,--Model Year
@DUTBEGIN char(25)=NULL,--Beginning of COV/DUT number
@DEBUG int=0
)

AS

DECLARE @OPENQUERY varchar(4000),
@TSQL varchar(4000),
@TWHERE varchar(4000),
@intErrorCode int

select @intErrorCode = @@ERROR,
@TSQL='',
@TWHERE=''

IF @intErrorCode=0
Begin
SET @OPENQUERY = 'SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(VFP,'''
SET @TSQL = ' select dut_pk,cov,family,model,project,modelyr from vinmast '
End

set @intErrorCode = @@ERROR

IF @intErrorCode = 0 and
@DUTFAMILY is not NULL or
@DUTMODEL is not NULL or
@DUTPROJECT is not NULL or
@DUTYEAR is not NULL or
@DUTBEGIN is not NULL
set @TWHERE=' where '

-- Check for Family criteria
If @intErrorCode = 0 and @DUTFAMILY is not NULL and Len(@TWHERE)>0
SET @TWHERE=@TWHERE+' family=['+@DUTFAMILY+'] AND '
set @intErrorCode = @@ERROR

-- Check for Model criteria
If @intErrorCode = 0 and @DUTMODEL is not NULL and Len(@TWHERE)>0
SET @TWHERE=@TWHERE+' model=['+@DUTMODEL+'] AND '
set @intErrorCode = @@ERROR

--Check for Project criteria
If @intErrorCode = 0 and @DUTPROJECT is not NULL and Len(@TWHERE)>0
SET @TWHERE=@TWHERE+' project=['+@DUTPROJECT+'] AND '
set @intErrorCode = @@ERROR

If @intErrorCode = 0 and @DUTYEAR is not NULL and Len(@TWHERE)>0

If @intErrorCode = 0 and @DUTBEGIN is not NULL and Len(@TWHERE)>0
Begin
SET @DUTBEGIN=RTRIM(@DUTBEGIN)
SET @TWHERE=@TWHERE+' substr(cov,1,'+cast(len(@DUTBEGIN) as char(20))+')=['+@DUTBEGIN+'] AND '
End
set @intErrorCode = @@ERROR

IF @intErrorCode=0 AND substring(@TWHERE,Len(@TWHERE)-3,4)=' AND '
Begin
set @TWHERE=Substring(@TWHERE,1,Len(@TWHERE)-3)
select @intErrorCode=@@ERROR
End

SET @TWHERE=@TWHERE+''')'

IF @debug<>0 and @intErrorCode=0
Begin
print @intErrorCode
print @OPENQUERY
print @TSQL
print @TWHERE
print @OPENQUERY+@TSQL+@TWHERE
End

IF @intErrorCode=0

Linked Server Error... Openquery() Locking Tables

Feb 1, 2008

Hi All -

My Set up:

Server A - Oracle 10g Database
Server B - SQL2005
Client PC - Sql Express

Server A holds all data. I am using a linked server to connect server A and B. I use a set of stored procedures containing the openquery() syntax to get data from Server A to Server B. These stored procedures run every 20 minutes. I then create a publisher on Server B. I subscribe from the client PC to publisher to get data down from Server B to client(Download only subscription).

When I fire up the stored procedures and attempt to replicate, everything works fine. It appears after about 4-5 hours of the stored procedures running replication begins to hang more and and more until eventually it hangs for about 10 minutes and I recieve the following error:

Command attempted:
{call sp_MSreleasemakegenerationapplock}
Error messages:
The merge process was unable to create a new generation at the 'Publisher'. Troubleshoot by restarting the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to which to write. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147200994)

I'm not sure if there is an error with openquery() locking? There is some locking activity going on with the TempDB and and Server B database. I've also come across some threads talking about the agent profiles. I'm very new to replication and very confused by all of the options in the agent profiles. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Problem When Creating SP To Import Big Data From Linked Server Mysql By Using Openquery() To Sql 2005

Oct 27, 2007

I'm trying to use linked server to import big amount of data(around 9 million rows) from mysql to a sql 2005 table.
I plan to create a stored procedure and use job agent to run it at off-peak time everyday. The SP is like:

.....
Truncate table sqltblA;

Insert Into sqltblA(col1, col2, col3)
Select col1, col2, col3
From OpenQuery('mysql', 'Select col1, col2, col3 From mytblB')
.....

But when I tried to CREATE the above SP from management studio, seems the sql server was trying to get all data from table mytblB and ended up with failure after several minutes hang. The error message is sth. like "running out memeory". BTW, during that several minutes hang, I can't query mytblB using mysql's tool as well. it seems to me that table got locked.

However if i try to change the returned result to 100,000 rows by changing script to

Insert Into sqltblA(col1, col2, col3)
Select col1, col2, col3
From OpenQuery('mysql', 'Select col1, col2, col3 From mytblB Limit 100000')
The SP could be created without any problem and running the SP could get the data in table sqltblA.
But that's not what I want, I need all rows instead of a certain amount of rows.

Does anyone know what's going on there when I try to CREATE that SP and any solution to it?

Plus I tried to use SSIS as well. When I'm configuring the DataReader source, which uses ADO.NET's ODBC option to connect to mysql, if its sqlcommand is "select * from mytblB" without the Limit key word, then the configuration page will hang there as well and table mytblB is not accessible by using mysql tool. I'm just sick of wasting time on that and that's why I chose to use SP istead of SSIS. But same result. :-(

LINKED SERVER NESTED OPENQUERY SAMPLE FROM TIPS AND TRICKS DOESN'T APPEARS TO FAIL WITH MSOLAP.

Feb 27, 2007

Is it that I have a syntax error in the nested OPENQUERY or is there another issue? Do I need to specify a different provider in the Server Link such as OLEDB? Non-nested OPENQUERYs work fine.

I'm generally following theTips and Tricks article.

"Executing predictions from the SQL Server relational engine". One problem is the sample doesn't actually complete the example query after the second nested OPENQUERY call.

e.g.

  SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(DMServer,
'select �� FROM Modell PREDICTION JOIN OPENQUERY��')

The SQL Server server link's provider is configured to allow adhoc access. I appears that the inner OPENQUERY cannot be prepared by Analysis Server or the Server link provider? but I need to return a key value t.[CardTransactionID] for joining to SQL Server data elements.

OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "DMServer" returned message "Errors in the back-end database access module. The data provider does not support preparing queries.".

Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 2 An error occurred while preparing the query
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(DMServer,

              t.[CardTransactionID],

              [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Purchase ID Format] = t.[PurchaseIDFormat] AND
              [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Transaction Time] = t.[TransactionTime] AND

I'd like to set up an ODBC DSN to a table in a linked SQL Server, viamy local SQL Server.I'm having a few problems:1. When I use Enterprise Manager to link the remote SQL Server, itdoesn't allow me to select the database in the remote server. It onlyshows one database.2. When I use the Data Sources program to set up the ODBC DSN, it onlyshows databases in the local SQL Server, not in the linked one. If Itry typing it in: [NAMEOFLINKEDSERVER].databasename - it tells me thatit is an invalid table.

Trouble Using ADOX To Create Linked Tables In Jet Database From An ODBC Datasource

Jun 5, 2007

Hai,

I am using ADOX to create linked tables in a jet database from an ODBC datasource.
The tables in the ODBC data source does not have a primary key.
so I am only able to create read only linked tables.But I want to update the records also.
I tried adding a primary key column to the linked table while creating the link.
but I am getting an error while adding the table to the catalog.

The error message is "Invalid Argument".

I use the following code for creating the linked table

Sub CreateLinkedTable(ByVal strTargetDB As String, ByVal strProviderString As String, ByVal strSourceTbl As String, ByVal strLinkTblName As String)

Dim catDB As ADOX.Catalog
Dim tblLink As ADOX._Table

Dim ADOConnection As New ADODB.Connection

ADOConnection.Open("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data Source=" & strTargetDB & ";User Id=admin;Password=;")

catDB = New ADOX.Catalog

catDB.ActiveConnection = ADOConnection

tblLink = New ADOX.Table

With tblLink

' Name the new Table and set its ParentCatalog property
' to the open Catalog to allow access to the Properties
' collection.
.Name = strLinkTblName
.ParentCatalog = catDB

' Set the properties to create the link.
Dim adoxPro As ADOX.Property

adoxPro = .Properties("Jet OLEDB:Create Link")
adoxPro.Value = True

adoxPro = .Properties("Jet OLEDB:Link Provider String")
adoxPro.Value = strProviderString

adoxPro = .Properties("Jet OLEDB:Remote Table Name")
adoxPro.Value = strSourceTbl

End With

'Adding primary key,
'***** the source column name is "Code" ******
tblLink.Keys.Append("PrimaryKey", ADOX.KeyTypeEnum.adKeyPrimary, "Code")

'Append the table to the Tables collection.
'******The exception occurs on the following line***********
catDB.Tables.Append(tblLink)

'Append the primary index to table.
catDB = Nothing

End Sub

If I avoid the line for adding the primary key,everything works fine,but the table ctreated is readonly.

Thanks in advance

Linked Servers Openquery Oracle

Aug 9, 2001

Running SQL2000 on Win2000 server. Installed Oracle8 client from Oracle for Winnt CD. This appeared to install OK could use SQL*PLUS to link to Oracle servers. Setting up a Linked server and then doing an openquery
gave an error:

' msadora reported an error
ole/db returned a message Oracle client & networking component were not found ..'

Any ideas? Should we have a Oracle for Win 2000 CD. It worked for SQL2000 on Winnt server.

Linked Server - ODBC

Jul 25, 2000

I have a linked server set up to a FoxPro database. I have used the 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC' as the Provider name, the datasource name is 'TestFoxPro' and the Catalog is AssetTracker.

I have set it up and I am able to see the table objects in the Enterprise manager, but I am unable to select from the tables in the Query analyzer. I I have tried

select * from Test2.assettracker.dbo.assets

but i get the following error

Server: Msg 7312, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid use of schema and/or catalog for OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL'. A four-part name was supplied, but the provider does not expose the necessary interfaces to use a catalog and/or schema.

So i have tried three part name, but then it does not find the object.

Any suggestions??

SQL Express Linked Server With ODBC

Nov 5, 2007

I have SQL Server 2005

I have a linked server using an ODBC System DSN setup.
A DB with a view to access on of the table from the Acomba DB.

This view work just fine when I logged in using the Windows Authentification.

If I create a user (bla) with "sysadmin" as server roles
the user bla is the owner of the DB (he also created the DB)
He can't access that view. But can access any tables from the same DB

The error I keep having is the following :

Executed SQL statement : SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(ACOMBABD, 'SELECT * FROM Customer') AS derivedtbl_1
Error Source: .NEt sqlClient DataProvider
Error Message: Cannot initialize the data srouce object of OLE DB prodiver "MSDASQL" for linked server "ACOMBA"

Major over and out

ODBC / Oracle Linked Server Problem

Feb 15, 2004

I have a SQL server that I am trying to link to a number of Oracle environments. After much tuning, we managed to achieve this although the four-part naming was not possible and we had to use Openquery and run pass throughs.

Nothing in our configuration has changed and SQL Server is no longer able connect to the linked databases. The Oracle client on the PC is fine and is able tnsping any of the remote databases. I am also able to create ODBC connections to the remote databases on the SQL box that are fine.

Using a datalink in DTS, I can connect to the remote databases. This suggests to me that there is something wrong within the actual database links. I have set them up using the working ODBC DSN's on the SQL box.

If I try and run a query against them in Query Analyser, I get the following error message :

Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].

If I click on the tables icon in EM to view the remote catalogues I get the following error :

Error 7399: OLE DB provider 'MSDORA' reported an error.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].

Any help that could be give on this would be greatly appreciated.

Can't Find SQL Native Client In ODBC Connection Manager In SQL Server Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)

Feb 13, 2007

I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this posting. Looking at the descriptions, it appeared to be the best choice.

I am running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have installed the SQL Native Client for
XP. However, when I try to add a new data source through ODBC Connection
Manager, SQL Native Client is not listed as an option. I have followed this procedure on three other systems with no problems. What would be causing the
SQL Native Client to not show up in the list of available ODBC data sources?
