Hi
Is there a way (workaround) of running a remote stored
procedure as pass through query and without having to use
linked servers. Something similar OPENROWSET when
selecting form a remote object?
Many thanks

Hi Everybody,
Can anyone tell me what is the difference between Remote Server and Linked Servers.
thks in advance,
Srinivasan.
Can someone please shed some light on what seems to me to be a common requirement.
If I create an alias or linked server to Server1 - say Alias1 - on Server1 and then use that name in a query on Server1, a remote/distributed query is always used (even though we are running on the local server and that overhead is completely unnecessary).
Is SQL Server really not capable of deciding that
select * from Alias1.db1.dbo.table1
and
select * from Server1.db1.dbo.table1
should be optimized and executed exactly the same when Alias1 is Server1, but that it is a distributed query ONLY when Alias1 is really referring to a remote server? I realize that the four part name is not necessary when I am referring to objects on the current server, but I am trying to write code that is server instance independent.
It just seems that if that is not possible, then the only way to create system independent stored procs that can run in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers is to create all sorts of scripts to regenerate all the procs whenever you move a database between servers?
If SQL Server is even close to the enterprise big iron server that MS now claims it is, it surely needs to support running in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers?!
I'm really looking for someone to tell me I'm missing something simple, and of course you can do this - but complex workarounds are invited too :-)
This is not something I am investigating as an academic exercise, I am already doing this, but I have to figure out how to do it better because with all these unnecessary distributed queries, performance is horrible.
Hi Everybody,
Can anybody help me on Remote Servers. I want to create a remote server
from 6.5 to 7.0. Is it possible to create a remote server from 6.5 to 7.0?.
From the Books online I saw remote server related commands. Like Linked servers in 7.0, tables of 7.0 can be extracted like "select * from <Remote_server>.<Database>.<Owner>.<Table_name>", in 6.5 Remote servers?. How do we execute a stored procedure of 7.0 Database from 6.5 server in remote server?.
Can anybody guide me on the above topics.
Tks in advance,
Sam
How do I add a remote SQL server to a local SQL server so that I can query it
using the normal T-SQL syntax. I have already tried using the following syntax:
sp_addlinkedserver @server = '233.56.152.112',
@srvproduct = N'SQL Server'
This caused the server to show up in the linked servers under Security folder in the Enterprise Manager GUI.
BUT WHEN RUNNING THE FOLLOWING QUERY:
(Select * from 233.56.152.112].remoteDATABASE.dbo.remoteTABLE)
I GET THE FOLLOWING ERROR:
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Client unable to establish connection]
[DBNMPNTW]ConnectionOpen (CreateFile()).
ANY GUIDANCE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

I currently have a main SQL Server which had a column on the majority of the tables. This column also had a check contraint on it. I dropped the column and the constraint and I now get the following message when trying to query the tables through a linked server 'OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata. An extra column was supplied during execution that was not found at compile time.'.
Can anyone help
Hi All,
I have successfully linked a server and had SQL queries running
OK for a few weeks, but today I get the following message....
"OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata. An extra column was supplied during execution that was not found at compile time."
(Server: Msg 7353, Level 16, State 1, Line 1)
I've dropped the link and recreated it but I still get the same error
message. Can anyone help???
Thanks

Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 7.0 SP1.
I have a DTS package that requires me to link 2 servers
and query both in order to get my set of records that I
want to Transform. My query runs fine in QA. I copy and
paste it into the SQL Query window of the transformation.
I click Preview and all that happens is a quick flicker of
the DTS window. When I go to Transformations, there are
no source columns.
Here is a copy of my code that I'm trying to use:
-------------------------------------------------------
declare@start_dteas datetime,
@end_dteas datetime
SELECT@start_dte = date_data_range_start_dte,
@END_DTE = date_data_range_END_dte
FROMSIDDEV.SID_DEVELOPMENT.DBO.T901_RUN
WHERERUN_ID = (selectmax(run_id)
from
SIDDEV.SID_DEVELOPMENT.DBO.t901_run
whererun_type_cd = 'M')
SELECTRUN_ID
INTO#RUNS
FROMCRMDEV02.MDCORE.DBO.T901_RUN
WHEREDATE_DATA_RANGE_START_DTE >= @START_DTE
ANDDATE_DATA_RANGE_END_DTE <= @END_DTE
SELECTT70.*

CRMDEV02.MDCORE.DBO.T70_MD_UNIVERSE_RELATIONSHIP_M A
NGT AS T70 JOIN #RUNS
ONT70.RUN_ID = #RUNS.RUN_ID
DROP TABLE #RUNS
------------------------------------------------------
Is there an issue with Linked Servers and DTS?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gurus,
I am looking for literature to find out Pros and Cons of Using DTS Verses
Linked Servers in SQL 7.0.
My requirement can be done by either DTS or Linked servers. But I would like to know more about resorce utilisation of these tecniques before making a decission.
Can somebody suggest where to look for.
Thanks

When I create linked server using integrated security and <they will be impersonated> option I get this:
Server: Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 1 Login failed for user ''
MS Technet says that SQL Server 7 doesn't allow double hops and to use mappings to standard security login to work around. @#%%~~@@#@#&^%@#
Impersonating to version 6.5 works fine.
Is there any way to link servers using ONLY integrated security?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Is it possible to add a 6.5 database as a linked server to a 7.0 database and query from it ?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi.
I'm working with SQL Server 7.0 and I've been reading about the linked server option. My question is, if it's possible to link a server with a SQLBase database 7.01.
I have download some drivers to my computer, the odbc driver for sqlbase and the sqlbase ole db driver as well, but when I try to add a new linked server in the enterprise, in the provider name option I can not see any provider name addressing to Centura or Sql base driver.
Has anybody an idea how to make this connection then? or the right way for doing it??
Thanks for any help can be offered.
Regards, Elvia.

I have two 7.0 servers and I want to run a distributed query.
I did sp_addlinkedserver to link server B to server A
and I did sp_addlinkedsrvlogin for a specific login.
After adding login when I try to access a table on server B it
says login failed
All the logins are NT authenticated (in both the servers, So
both servers have same logins.)
but it is not working.
Hi all
I try to configure Linked Servers from the query analyze , and have some troubles.
My steps are :
1. from the enterprise mennenger , add 2 new servers : srv1 , srv2 (both SQL7)
2. from the query analyzer of srv1.master: "sp_addlinkedserver 'srv2'"
3. from the query analyzer of srv1.master:
"sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'srv2',false,null,'sa','myPass'"
4. select * from srv2.pubs.srv2Table
5. I get the next error :"error 6 : Specified SQL srever not found."
What do I do wrong ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are creating a newServer grabbing data from an extrnal data source.
We need to perform regular audits to verify the record counts (for now) are the same.
We have 2 physically separate SQL servers 1 with old 1 with new.
I have created a linked server but when i do a query on the linked server the performace is pathetic (2mins 12 secs) to do a simple count.
Is there a better way, or can improv the perf?

I have two servers and they are linked servers. When I query a table on ON Box2 from Box1

What could be the reason.

Recently, I had Microsoft review why our SQL Db was unexpectedly terminating. They pointed to our Oracle Linked servers. They recommended that we try to uncheck the enable allow in process option on the ODBC driver. We are currently using the Microsoft OLE Db provider for our Oracle connnections as we were unable to get the Oracle ones to work with a linked server. When we unchecked this allow in process option near the end of the day our website began getting out memory errors from ODBC. It appeared to have been because of this change. Does anyone have any insight as to why changing this option could have caused this?

Hello (again!)
We have a new 2005 server, and I am trying to link our old 2000 server so I can use the old databases in new server.
This is what I done:
In 2005:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver oldServer
--completed fine
then:
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin oldServer, 'false', NULL, 'Administrator', password
--completed fine
But whenI run the query I get the error:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "oldServer" returned message "Communication link failure".
Msg 10054, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

Hi,
Disclaimer: I am not a DBA so my attempts may not make sense. :)
I have a win 2003 server running sql server 2005. I am trying to create a 'linked server' with an oracle 8i database at a remote site. I have tried using the 'add linked server' option from sql server enterprise manager and I have also tried to create it using the sp_addlinkedserver command. i tried using a dsn as the datasource and I have also tried using a dsnless connection using a TNS entry as the provider string. The Oracle client is on the box as can be confirmed both by the dropdown in the 'add linked server' dialog in sql server enterprise manager and also by going into the oracle enterprise manager and actually sending oracle data. I don't really have a preference on how to create the 'Linked server', I just need to get it to work.
AAA = server
BBB = DSN
XXX = UID
YYY = pwd
DSNLess Attempt:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'TEST1', @srvproduct=N'OraOLEDB.Oracle', @provider=N'OraOLEDB.Oracle', @provstr=N'SERVER=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDR ESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=AAA)(PORT=1556))) (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=LPPCPEDB)));uid=XXX;pw d=YYY;'

I have a linked server connection on a SQL 2k server connected to a Sybase ASE 12.5 server via Sybase OLE DB connection. To this point everything has been working great for months. Now we're encountering a problem where new tables created on the Sybase db won't show up in the linked server connection. I've checked permissions and the object owners and everything is exactly the same as the pre-existing tables except the table's new.
Anyone have any ideas wht's up???
