I am using the following select statement to get the row count from SQL linked server table.
SELECT Count(*) FROM OPENQUERY (CMSPROD, 'Select * From MHDLIB.MHSERV0P')
MHDLIB is the library name in IBM DB2 database. The above query gives me only the row count of table MHSERV0P. However, I need to get the names, rowcounts, and sizes of all tables that exist in MHDLIB librray. Is it possible at all?
Hi , On my Desktop i registered Production Server in Enterprise Manager on that Server if i go to SecurityLinked Servers There is another Server is already mapped, when i am trying to see the Tables under that one of the Linked Server i am getting the Error message saying that "Error 17 SQL Server does not exist or access denied"
if i went to Production Server location and if i try to see the tables i am able to see properly, no problems why i am not able to see from my Desk top i am using the sa user while mapping the Production Server on my DESKTOP using (ENTERPRISE MANAGER)
And i check the Client Network Utility in the Alias using Named Pipe only, i changed to TCP/IP still same problem What might the Problem how can i see the Tables in Linked Server from my DESKTOP
Our users are linking sql tables in Access. Our management wants to stop that. Is there any way to deny connection to sql server using access linking tables?
I have access tables which are linked to SQL database by ODBCconnection. By using Access, i can easily see my table contents. butwhen i am using ASP, i con not. I am getting this error messageMicrosoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)ODBC--connection to 'SQL ServerMYDATABASE' failed.windows 2000, access XP, and sql 2000Please help me.Thank you
I currently have a SQL Database with 1 Table. I have connected to the SQL table via MS Access 2003 via Linked Tables. I can import records from either an XLS or CSV file to the Link Tables all day. However, I cannot update nor delete records. I have given my account full DBO access to the SQL Database and Table but still cannot make any modification from within Access. Is this even possible for what I am attempting to do within Access? If so, please tell me what I need to modify within SQL. Thanks in advance!
Hi, know this sounds like a really silly question, but im having a bit of a problem deleting from two linked tables I have tried doing the following, however it says that it has an error near the ',' Any suggestions?? DELETE FROM meter_quote , client_details FROM meter_quote, client_details INNER JOIN client_details ON meter_quote.Client_ID = client_details.Client_ID Thanks, Hayley
I currently am in charge of creating a Sharepoint 2003/Exchange 2003 ticketing system. We have a client database (MS Access 2003) that has a linked table to our Exchange store, retrieving information we enter in Exchange regarding specific clients. I would like to move this database to SQL Server for performance reasons. Soon there will be many people accessing this database and I don't want the bottle neck to be Access.
The only quirk I can think of is, can one link a table from SQL Server to Exchange. Or for that matter, can SQL Server have linked tables at all? One solution I can think of is to create a System Service that runs on the server, to periodically update the SQL table with the information in the Exchange store. But that could become costly over time with large amounts of network bandwidth being used for unnecessary updates.
Is there maybe another solution I'm not seeing? Should I just stick with the Access database?
In order to use Access 97 as your frontend and SQL 7 as your backend on a network (where the frontend is located on the same computer as the backend and people just map to Access frontend) where security for the data is recognized by your domain login account and what domain group you belong to..do you have to have the same System DSN on everyone's computer for linking? I am still having problems with people linking to the SQL server through the network and only my account is working correctly from my desktop. Everyone else who tries to link gets an ODBC failure error message when trying to open one of the linked tables. I have heard from one person that you must have the same system DSN on every client's computer but to me that makes no sense as I do not have the DSN listed on my individual computer...I am just going through the network as myself..not as an admin..and getting directly to the data. Everyone else can get to the shared folder on the server but cannot get to the linked tables. Any ideas?
I have linked a number of tables from a SQL database to a Access front end. I am able to update all but one of the tables (the main table I need!!!). I get the error, cannot update record as it has been changed by another user although there is no other user. I believe it may be to do with the way the recordset is linked to the access database or the referential integrity of the table associations in the SQL database.
I can change the data using query analyser without issue.
There are a lot of Access and Excel tables linked to my SQL Server (SQL2K SP3 on W2K). The end users update those likned tables. I am wondering if there is the block problem. If yes, how to prevent that? Thanks.

I just finished up setting up linked server from one of my database machines to another. After futzing to get permissions just right, it works great for many things:
select top 5 * from altai.prep.dbo.simulation_status 0 Prepping Simulation is being prepped by the owner. 1 Prepped Simulation has been prepped by the owner. 2 Checking Simulation is being checked by the owner. 3 Checked Simulation has been checked. 4 Running Simulation is running.
The trouble is, I have another table in this database called that begins with "S": Staging_Transition_States. If I try to access this table via the linked server, I get:
select * from altai.prep.dbo.Staging_Transition_States
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "altai" does not contain the table ""prep"."dbo"."Staging_Transition_States"". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
This table exists, sp_help for this table is below. Why doesn't this table show up in the output of sp_tables_ex? As far as I can tell, permissions for the tables that work and this table are identical.
I am running the follwing query to select data from a local and linked server using a right outer join as follows and get the error message shown below the query. How can this be corrected please? sg_q5 is local and sg_qt1 is defined as a linked server on sg_q5. Non join direct select commnads from sg_Q5 on the linked server works fine.

I am trying to create a linked server to some dbase 5 tables. I have read several other posts about using the OPENROWSET option and that does work however, I would like to be able to create a linked server for easier access.
End Goal: I am developing an ASP based app that needs to join a DB5 table to a SQL table.
Any help on the linked server properties in Enterprise Manager for dbase5 or on the proper sp_addlinkedserver function for dbase5 would be highly appreciated.
Hi, I have an Access database Front End which use SQL server as a Back End. The two are connected using ODBC. Occasionally, some of the linked tables in Access go read only. I can't add or edit records. The only way I know to get round the problem is to delete the link and re-create it. Refreshing the link does not work. Can anybody suggest why this would happen, and the best way to fix it when it does occur?
Edited 12:10 06/14/07 Some extra info. At the same time it goes read only, the link loses it's primary key.
Hello,I'm not an expert in SQL, if you could help me for that littleproblem:I had tree simple tables with their fields:[Client] IdClient, Param[Sale] IdSale, IdClient, Param[Param] IdParam, ValueHow can I retrieve a recordset with this columns ?IdClient, IdSale, ValueOfParamClient, ValueOfParamSaleThe problem is that I can retrieve a Param for one table (Client orSale) like this request :SELECT Client.IdClient, Sale.IdSale, Param.ValueFROM(ClientINNER JOIN SaleON Sale.IdClient = Client.IdClient)LEFT JOIN ParamON Param.IdParam = Sale.ParamBut how can I retrieve the Param of the another table in a simplequery ? (because I would also like that it works for access)Thank for your help,Marc
In enterprise manager, I can browse the objects by clicking on "Tables" under the selected linked server, and that allows me to browse my objects in that server and eventually design my query graphically.
In SQL Server 2005 Express, I know that I cannot browse the objects after referring to microsoft article above. "Note In SQL Server Management Studio, you cannot expand the new linked server name to view the list of objects that the server contains. "
However, is it possible to design my query graphically?
Having a little problem with linking to Access tables. I have an Access database that has in it, some linked tables. After setting up the linked server in SQL server, none of the linked tables in Access show up, only the tables that were created or imported show up.
Is there anything you can do to get the linked tables in Access to show up under the tables list in the SQL linked server?
Hello, We are currently live with a CRM solution (Siebel) that uses SQL Server 6.5 as the back end. All is fine and dandy, except I have some reservations about security. Quite simply, it is possible for anyone to open up MS Access and link to any of the SQL Server database tables via the ODBC DSN used by the Siebel front end. This DSN is necessary for Siebel to function. I am bit worried that someone (out of incompetence or spite) might do just that and cause some serious damage. Its probably technically beyond the large proportion of our users (especially those that could make mistakes!), but I can't get the nagging fear out of my head. Does anyone know of anyway to combat this problem? I have scoured the web, including this site, and cant seem to get any information on this. Thanks and Regards Dike
I've run into the following problem using "select rowguidcol from [LinkedServer].[DBName].dbo.MyTable" (as opposed to using "select <rowguid column name>...".
Against a locally-connected database, the following SQL command works as expected:
SELECT rowguidcol from dbo.MyTable
However, If I run the same query against a linked server (using the 4-part notation), it fails with an 'Invalid column name 'rowguidcol'' error:
SELECT rowguidcol from [LinkedServer].[MyDB].dbo.MyTable
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid column name 'rowguidcol'.
I've searched around but can't seem to find any info that tells me definitively that I can't use rowguidcol against linked tables, so I'm wondering if I'm just doing something wrong?
Any ideas on how to get around this issue would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to use actual column names, as this is for generated scripts.
More Info: > I can select the data just fine from the linked server if I use the column name - so I don't think it's a configuration or permissions issue.
> The row I'm trying to view is, in fact, a rowguidcol. I used the exact same script to create the table on both the local (where select rowguidcol works) and the linked (where it doesn't) servers.
is it possible to define in sql server linked tables to odbc data sources as it is possible to do in access? except Access and vfp, is there another database that allows to create linked tables to odbc data sources?
I need to combine in a database native tables with odbc linked tables, but it would need to use a database more powerful that access or vfp
I am trying to revamp our product database with a view to making it search-optmised and would like some guidance (or confirmation of method, if you will!!). We currently use a three table structure (Product, Brand, Cat(egory)) along the lines of :
create table product (prod_id int not null, brand_id int not null, cat_id int not null, other stuff e.g. tech. specs, displayed text on web page, etc.... )
with corresponding brand_id and cat_id in the other tables. While this seems relationally sound I see it as being inefficient for searching, particularly after reading the theory behind nested sets.
A new function I am building will enable users to drill down through the product list or runs searches against all or part of the db :
e.g. all products from one category, all products fitting certain search criteria, products from several selected brands fitting certain criteria, and any combination of the above you can think of!
The problem is, not all products have the same criteria list (in fact I would be surprised if any did) and may also be of more than one category (a digital camera with movie mode might easily fit into the digital camcorder search). I think I am correct in that a nested set would make the structure fit the requirement - things like criteria, displayable text, etc. could be nodes in their own right and each logical level might have its own criteria. For example, if a category is selected then certain text must be displayed and could list further categories or products. The next level down would then require its own displayable text - I am mainly thinking about SEO tags here. Also, I am not precious about retaining the current table structure and would like an open ended solution where I can add further data/functionality in a dynamic fashion, which nested sets seem to embody.
Does this make sense to anybody coz I think I've confused myself even more!!
Hey everyone. I've linke an access database and I am able to query the tables like so:
SELECT * FROM QFinity...tblEmployees
I can do that to all the tables, however, I'd like to create a view to this linked database. Is this possible? I have a more complex query I'd like to run:
SELECT dbo_evaluations.eval_id, dbo_evaluations.quality_date, dbo_eval_questions.status FROM QFinity...dbo_evaluations INNER JOIN dbo_eval_questions ON dbo_evaluations.eval_id = dbo_eval_questions.eval_id;
I get the error "Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid object name 'dbo_evaluations'."
I'm afraid I've reached the limit of my know how concerning sql server 2005... I think I read that I need to create a view? But I can't figure out how to do that.
I have a system that has the tables on an SQL Server with the front-end on a Microsoft access database. They are connected via odbc and the tables are linked to the access front-end. The odbc connects to the sql server via a user created for the purpose that only has rights to this database. This user has rights set so that they can access/alter any data in the database.
When my users try to alter data on some of the linked tables they get "The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." This does not happen to every table only on some of them.
This happens even when there is only one user accessing the system. If I log into the enterprise manager I can alter those tables/ records without any problem (as some articles I’ve read say if the problem is connected to a corrupt record its not possible to then alter that record and sql server should give me an error message instead).
I have tired. - Compact and repairing the access front-end. - Deleting the links in the access front-end then re-linking them. - Copying the objects from the access to a new blank access db. - I have tried altering the account the odbc uses to login to the SA account. - I have asked the server admin to do the 'compact and repair' on the s.q.l server, shrink I believe it is, as some articles suggest this could solve the problem. - The admin has also tried this on the transaction files (so he has told me).
None of this has worked.
I'm stuck. I don't have any training on SQL server (nor will I be able to have any as I gather the training budget may be needed to fill some finance holes). If anyone has any idea of the answer to my problem or could point me in a direction that I could try investigating I would be very grateful. I have asked the admin if it’s anything to do with transactions, he has told me he does not know how to see those but he will try to find out if we can. Am I shooting in the dark or does this sound like a transaction/process locking problem? Is there something I should be looking for?
I need to create a relationship between a local table and tables on alinked server. I used the design table wizard and selected therelationship property wizard. In the reslationship property wizard,the tables that I need to get the keys from in the linked server do notshow up. Is there a way to do this, or I simply don't have enoughpermission to tables in the linked server. On the local server, theSecurity tab of linked server property has Local Loging "sa", RemoteUser "sa" and Remote Password "****". Thanks for your help.
Hi,I have a prod database (main bread & bread DB) and have a small accessdatabase that sales team is using... I created a login inside SQL 2000and gave db_read permission and SELECT permissions... and public.Role of public is EXEC store procs and view some systables...I linked those tables that I gave permissions through ODBC link intoaccess db with the user that I created inside SQL as readonly user...but to my surprise when I ran a insert query from access on SQLtables... I was able to update and insert data... if my ODBC link isonly for readonly.. why was I able to unpdate & insert data into SQLtable?I don't want to give write/update/insert permissions for SQL tables tosales team... or anyone outside SQL 2000 server DB.Is there any easy way to create viewonly users inside SQL?I created users like this: security -logins -new login...select none serverrole.. db access (bread & butter DB)Thank you,hj******Pardon my English...
We have a need to retrieve Sybase data within a MS SQL Serverapplication. We are using SQL Server's linked database feature withthe Sybase 12.0 OLE DB driver. It takes 5 minutes to run a query thattakes 2 seconds from isql.Any suggestions?Thanks
I am trying to update some SQL-linked tables in my Access database by repoiting the existing linked tables to a new datasource. The problem is, when I go to select the machine data source where the table sits, I get an error message saying the MS Jet Database can't find the object. This is because when Access creates the linked table, it replaces the period in the <schema>.<table_name> with an underscore. So when I go to update the links, it is essentially looking for the new table with the wrong file name.
I have about 80 linked tables to update and I haven't been able to figure a work-around. HELP PLEASE!
Not sure if I'm posting to the right group or not, pls tell me where else to post.
My question is: I have a microsoft access database on a client desktop that links to tables in sql server. Is there a way to encrypt the data that goes back and forth between access and sql?
