SQL Server 2000 To SQL 2005 Linked Server - Query Problem
Jan 16, 2008
Hello
SQL 2000: 8.00.2187 x86, 8 way 700mhz, 6GB Ram
SQL 2005: 9.00.3042 IA64 2 Way Dual-Core 1.66Mhz 16 GB ram
Symptoms
Querys to the SQL 2005 box from SQL 2000 work but when the query is parameterised with non-literals (@variables) then the query run on the SQL 2005 box excludes any where clause causing the entire table to be returned to the SQL 200 box. When the query is parameterised using literal values the query is executed on SQL 2005 including the where clause.
At first I thought that the "Collation Compatible" setting was the culprit but setting this to 1 made no difference. Other SQL 2000 boxes work as expected and any queries from these using literal and non-literal parameters.
Please, any ideas?
Working
SELECT A.Column FROM linkedServer.IA.dbo.Table Where A.Column = 'value'
Not Working (correctly anyway!)
DECALRE @Value tinyint
SET @Value = 22
SELECT A.Column FROM linkedServer.IA.dbo.Table Where A.Column = @value
I am trying to write some admin only procedures which will collect information to one of my development server from other production and development servers.
I have created linked servers to access these other servers on the development server. This development server is SQL Server 2000 EE. Other servers which I want to access are 2000 and 2005 (vaious editions)
E.g I have another development server called PRODTEST which is SQL Server 2005 and on the development server I have created a linked server pointing to PRODTEST called TESTLINKSRV. I want to access new object catalog view (as I do not want to use sysobjects)
When I run the following query
SELECT * FROM [TESTLINKSRV].[DBNAME].[sys].[objects]
I get following error,
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: OLE DB provider does not contain the table: ProviderName=' TESTLINKSRV ', TableName='" DBNAME "."sys"."objects"'].
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider ' TESTLINKSRV ' does not contain table '"DBNAME"."sys"."objects"'. The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
So I try this query
SELECT * FROM [TESTLINKSRV].[DBNAME].[sys.objects]
and I get following error
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name TESTLINKSRV.DBNAME.sys.objects'.
So bottom line is how do I access catalog views on a 2005 server from a 2000 server using linked server?
I hope someone understands what I am trying to achieve. Please let me know what is it that I am doing wrong. Thank you
Hi I have created a linked server from SQL Server 2005 (SP 1) to SQL Service 2000 (SP 4) with a sql server login that is available on both servers but with different passwords and permissions.
I am getting the following error while accessing the linked server in management studio based on the scenario given below ;
------ Error Message Starts OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(SQL Server 2000 instance name)" 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. Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 0 Login failed for user 'abc'. ------ Error Message Ends
Consider login name is abc. Now this login abc has sysadmin rights on sql server 2005. The same login abc has only db_datareader rights on sql server 2000 on just one database and is not associated with any fixed server role.
I have configured the linked server using the following options; 1. I have tried impersonating login from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 . 2. I have also tried specifying remote login / password option.
Anyone having any idea, would be of great help. Regards, Salman Shehbaz.
Can I connect from a SQL Server 2005 database to a SQL Server 2000 database, without establishing a linked server connection.
I need to fire a SELECT query on a SQL Server 2000 database, but don't want to add it as a linked server. Is there any way I can do this or its not possible??
I'm trying to link SQL Server 2000 sp3 to SQL 2005 64 bit. I keep getting Error 17 sql server does not exist or access denined. I tried adding remote user mapping and chaning the linked server properties to "Be made using this security context" without any success. Any help is appreciated.
I am trying to Query text file into SQL Server 2005 using linked server. In SQL Server 2000 here is what I have. Linked server configured to use following parameters Product Name : Customer_file Provider Name: Customer_File ( System DSN)
Hello, I have been searching the archives for information on problems that occur with creating a linked server to SQL Server 2000 from SQL Server 2005 x64, but the problem I am having seems to be slightly different.
I was able to create the linked server from the 2005 server this way;
I receive 'Command(s) completed successfully' for both. When I attempt to run either of the following queries from a connection to the 2005 server in Management Studio;
select top 100 * from 2kServer.database.dbo.table select * from Openquery(2kServer,'select top 10 * from database.dbo.table')
I get the following error
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "2kServer" 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. Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 0 Login failed for user 'domaincdun2'.
I've seen a couple of ideas on this. One states the following; *************************************** When running 4 part reference query like this: select * from sql2000.mybase.dbo.mytable
SQL Server 2005 x64 runs the following query on remote SQL2000 server: exec [mybase]..sp_tables_info_rowset_64 N'mytable', N'dbo', NULL
Unfortunately there is no such a proc on SQL2k. However, sp_tables_info_rowset exists and does the same thing. The solution is to create wrapper on master database like this:
create procedure sp_tables_info_rowset_64 @table_name sysname, @table_schema sysname = null, @table_type nvarchar(255) = null as declare @Result int set @Result = 0 exec @Result = sp_tables_info_rowset @table_name, @table_schema, @table_type
And then everything works fine. If you don't want to create "Microsoft like" objects on master database, use openquery instead of 4 part reference. ************************************** I put this proc on the 2kServer and tried again, but I got the same error. I've also seen this:
I went into the Sql Server Configuration Manager, Sql Native Client Configuration -> Protocols and disabled Shared Memory and made the TCP/IP protocol #1 in order. Then just restarted the Sql Service and it all started working!
I don't have access to the server to do this, but I wonder if it would solve the problem. I am a sys admin on both servers. The servers are in two different domains. Could this be a firewall issue?
Can anyone tell me if there's a recommended way to link from a SQL 2000 SP4 DB through a firewall to SQL 2005? I have tried with SQLOLEDB but this uses NETBios which is not secure. Or is there a way to tell it not to use NETBios? SET @provdetail = 'DRIVER={SQL SERVER};SERVER=<IP address>;Trusted_connection=Yes' EXEC Master..sp_addlinkedserver @server = ,'<IP address>', @srvproduct = '', @provider = 'SQLOLEDB', @provstr = @provdetail , @catalog = 'TestDB', @datasrc ='<IP address>DB1'
I have 2 linked servers on my dev 2005 instance (sp1-win 2003). My 2005 instance shares the physical server with a 2000 instance. This linked server works fine. The second linked server is on a separate server running sql 2000 sp3. I cannot connect to this server at all. I can connect the other way -- from the 2000 to the 2005. I have tried all kinds of combinations of security and options but nothing works. The only resolutions I have found referenced installing Management Studio on the 2000 server or creating an ODBC connection from the 2005 instance. Any ideas???
Here is the error I get:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "ALLFLDB6" returned message "Login timeout expired".

I receive the following error message when I run a distributed query against a loopback linked server in SQL Server 2005: The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) has cancelled the distributed transaction.
To resolve this problem, I was told that running a distributed query against a loopback linked server is not supported in SQL Server 2005. And I am suggested to use a remote server definition (sp_addserver) instead of a linked server definition to resolve this problem. (Although this is only a temporary resolution, which will deprecate in Katmai)
However, I run into another problem when I use the remote server definition. I receive the following error message: Msg 18483, Level 14, State 1, Line 1 Could not connect to server 'ServerNameSQL2005' because '' is not defined as a remote login at the server. Verify that you have specified the correct login name.
Could anyone please help me out? (I include the reproduce steps for the first error message, followed by my resolution that generates the second error message) ====== Reproduce steps for the first error message ======

I have a development and a production SQL server instance environment set up on 2 independent machines. Each machine is running Windows 2003 for an OS, while each server instance is version SQL Server 2005. On friday, I experienced difficulties querying one environment from the other through linked servers. I would get the error below: .
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "dev_server". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used
The linked servers had been previously set up and had been running without any issues. Dropping and recreating the linked servers did not help at all, and all attempts to google the error led to accounts of either SQL Server 2005-SQL Server 2000 procedures compatibility or 64 bit - 32 bit compatibily related errors. Neither of the two were relevant as both my environment have the same technology, both hardware and software.
Mysteriously, the linked server worked this morning without any issue at all. One co-worker suggests gremlins are at work, while another figures that my set up had 'checked out for the long weekend'. Unfortunately, neither explanation is plausible, so my quest to find out what could have gone wrong, and hopefully put preventitive measures in place for the future goes on. Does anybody have any idea what the issue could have been?
I'm trying to connect to another slq server db through a linked server (and synonyms) but I get the following error.
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The current transaction cannot be committed and cannot support operations that write to the log file. Roll back the transaction. ,Unable to start a nested transaction for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "BURT".

I've set up MSDTC and executed the procedures noted in MS's article ID 873160. I am using 2005, but the Burt server is 2000. I can run the stored procedure from my server, which queries theirs. But when I execute the sp from a service, I get the error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I plan to migrate a SQL 2000 instance with everything in it to another SQL2000 server, and eventually in the future to SQL 2005.
I've pretty much figured out how to migrate everything execept the linked server configuration (there're many linked servers configured in the old server with different security credentials). I'm wondering if there's way I can save the linked server configuration and restore it to the other server.
I'm running Server 'A' and Server 'B' which are both on SQL 2005 SP2. Server B connects to Server A using the linked server functionality via the SQLNCLI provider. I am issuing an update statement from a web api in a nested transaction that uses a distrubted transaction.
However, I am receiving the following error :
Unable to start a nested transaction for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "A". A nested transaction was required because the XACT_ABORT option was set to OFF. OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "A" returned message "Cannot start more transactions on this session.".
I've researched the issue and understand how XACT_ABORT works.
Also, I looked at the Linked Server provider options for SQLNCLI and came accross the Nested Queries option being unchecked. I checked the option and applied it to the Linked Server.
Okay, so after my long post my questions are: Do i need to restart SQL in order for this to take effect? If not, what do i need to do? I 've restarted IIS to no avail .
if it is possible to run a distributed query against 2000 from 2005, what would the OPENDATASOURCE parameters look like? I'd like to be able to pivot without copying my older 2000 db to 2005 or using linked servers..
For reference, here's an example of a distrib query that reads excel...
ie SELECT * INTO XLImport3 FROM OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Data Source=C: estxltest.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0')...[Customers$]
I have a query slower in SQL Server 2005 than in SQL Server 2000. I have a database in SQL 2000, I put it on the same server, but with SQL 2005 and the query take 5 seconds instead of 0 seconds. The DB compatibility is SQL Server 2000 (I tried with 2005 and result is the same). Execution plan seems right and I tried to change some DB options without results. It is weird, when I remove left join on MandatsEx, it take 2 seconds. The view currentEmployeeLevelHistoric returns 45 000 rows and mandatsex has 0 rows.
Here is the sample:

We are experiencing a problem with Sql Server 2000 linking to anAccess 97 file. We have two machines that link to this .mdb file, andwe recently upgraded one to newer hardware, SP3a, MDAC 2.8, etc. Thelink on this upgraded machine no longer works, giving this message:Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.[OLE/DB provider returned message: Cannot open a database created witha previous version of your application.]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].The link on the older machine still works. We decided to tryconverting a copy of the file to Access 2000 to see if the newerpatches/drivers/whatever no longer supported 97. We set up a link onboth machines to this file, and they both work. However, on theupgraded machine, the following error is receievedServer: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.[OLE/DB provider returned message: System resource exceeded.]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'ICommandText::Execute returned 0x80004005: ].when making 1-3 connections to the the linked server, while the oldermachine supports at least 7 simultaneous queries connecting to thelinked server and still hasn't produced that error.Does anyone have any idea if there is a known issue with linking toAccess 97/2000 files under MDAC 2.8, Jet 4.0, etc? Any light anyonecan shine on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
I need your help. I have 2 different databases. One of them is in the SQL Server 2000 and the other on is in the SQL Server 2005. I need to make a query out of these 2 databases. Is there any way that I can do this?
I'm having an issue with a query I'm running on Sql Server 2005. It's a semi-complex query involving an in-line table function and several left outer joins which are joined on to the results of the function call. Two of the left outer joins are then qualified in a where clause of the form where table.Col is not null; the idea is that the final result set contains data that has no match in those two tables.
The problem revolves around a where clause in the function and the last left outer join (ie, one of the ones qualified with where not null). When I alter the where clause of the function to further restrict the result set the function returns, the query times shoots up from 1 second to roughly 2-3 minutes. Note that the time the function takes to complete is not affected. The difference in time is purely down to what the query does with the results the function provides. Also note that the change to the where clause provides a subset of the original data; it does not add any more data (it actually restricts the original resultset by roughly 1000 rows).
I can bring the query speed back down again by removing the last left outer join - this join takes one of the columns from the function, and joins it to a small table - 924 rows. So it appears that this particular join is the cause of the issue, but only when using the resultset generated from the modified function query.
Now, as the thread title alludes, Sql Server 2000 and 2005 handle this differently, or appear to. When I execute this same query on a Sql 2000 machine, there's no apparent time differences, and the data that is returned is as expected. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this and how I can fix it? I could simply return the larger resultset and use managed code to filter out the rows I don't want; however, I would like to get to the bottom of this, especially if it's going to effect future queries.
I'm trying to create a linked server to generalize the query for pointing to different versions/instances of the same schema. For instance, we are testing against a test db named Name_Config, but we also need to execute the same tests against Name_ConfigQA. By building the linked server (named "LS_Test"), we are attempting to leave the sql as is in another catalog on the same server by pointing through LS_Test so the following sql won't need modifying, just the linked server properties:
select * from LS_Test...table1
This produces the following error:
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: OLE DB provider does not contain the table: ProviderName='LS_Test', TableName='table1'].
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'LS_Test' does not contain table 'table1'. The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
I've been able to do this through synonyms in SQL Server 2005, but I'm having no luck setting the propertes in 2000 such that the linked server maintains the catalog name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise server which I need to set up as a linked server in SQL Server 2005. The Sybase server is version 12.5.2, and the Sybase ODBC driver version is 4.20.00.67. I have already installed the Sybase client software on the server.
I also created a SystemDSN on the SQL Server to connect to the Sybase server. I tested the connection and it was able to connect.
I ran the following code to create the linked server:
I then ran sp_tables_ex to make sure I could view the tables in the Sybase database. Here is the error message I get:

I am about to start working on a project where I would be required todynamically create linked servers during the execution of anapplication. One of the requirements is for the Link Servers to becreated and dropped before and after the retrieval of the data. Myquestion is about any type of cap on the number of linked servers SQLServer 2000 can have registered at any single time. If I find out thatthere is some type of cap, I would need to look into another way todeal with my linked server needs. Thanks for any help/information youmight be able to provide.
We have a linked server, which worked fine, but we have just changedthe collation sequence, in SQL-Server, fromSQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS to Latin1_General_CI_AS.Now trying to use the Linked server, we get the following message:"Error 7399: OLE DB Provider 'MSDAORA' reported an error.

Help with error, from using Trigger to update table, in table another in the database server
Below follows the trigger

Using a 32-Bit SQL Server 2008 Express on my LOCAL PC. I downloaded the Advantage 8.1 OLE DB Provider and created a linked server to a REMOTE Advantage 8.1 database server. There is no data dictionary on the Advantage server.
Here is my linked server:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'1xx.1xx.xx.1xx', @srvproduct=N'Advantage', @provider=N'Advantage OLE DB Provider', @datasrc=N'1xx.1xx.xx.1xxeccET', @provstr=N'servertype=ads_local_server;tabletype=ads_cdx;'--tabletype=’ADS_ADT’ (this test works too) EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'1xx.1xx.xx.1xx',@useself=N'False',@locallogin=Null,@rmtuser='adssys',@rmtpassword=Null
Testing the link succeeds with above. Using “ads_REMOTE_server” instead of “ads_local_server” and the test fails. Here is my problem, using the following queries will not work. Perhaps it’s a permissions issue? When I specify my local credentials for the remote server in the linked server it still does not work.

I'm working with SQL Server 2000 installed in Windows 2000. When i tried to add the 'servername' as a linked server , i got the following message:
" Error: 15038. The Server 'servername' already exists."
When i execute "sp_linkedservers" , i could see the name "servername" in the list. But before doing this i had Restored the "MSDB" database on this server. Should i use "sp_droplinkedservers" and add them again.
