I am performing analysis of linked servers across 2000-2008R2 and need to find/build a list of linked servers that are truly active. For the sake of the post let's define 'active' have executed a distributed query in the last 5 days.
I have been scanning the DMVs without much success. Perhaps I must look more closely at MSDTC?
The end result would be to cleanup 300+ linked servers across 40+ SQL Servers.
I want the list of Users from Active Directory.I have created the linked server in SQL 2005.After that I queried
SELECT *
FROM OPENQUERY (ADSI,
'SELECT givenName, sn FROM LDAP:// DC=xxx,DC=COM')
I got following error message.
An error occurred while preparing the query "select givenname,sn from 'LDAP://xxx.COM'" for execution against OLE DB provider "ADSDSOObject" for linked server "ADSI".
what are the security settings and permissions required to set?
I have a snapshot table of about 15 million records in the form of:
InvoiceIDLineItemIDSnapshotDateAmount
1 1 20140101 12
1 2 20140102 14
1 3 20140103 17
2 1 20140101 10
2 2 20140102 5
1 2 20140105 15
1 3 20140105 20
I want to create an additional column called Current as shown below:
InvoiceIDLineItemIDSnapshotDateAmount Current
1 1 20140101 12 1
1 2 20140102 14 0
1 3 20140103 17 0
2 1 20140101 10 1
2 2 20140102 5 1
1 2 20140105 15 1
1 3 20140105 20 1
How can we write a query to achieve this while keeping in mind:
- We do not want to do unnecessary record lookups and Updates
- We only update records that corresponds to new entries. For example, we should not touch the record for InvoiceID = 2 in the above example
any useful SQL Queries that might be used to identify lists of potential duplicate records in a table?
For example I have Client Database that includes a table dbo.Clients. This table contains various columns which could be used to identify possible duplicate records, such as Surname | Forenames | DateOfBirth | NINumber | PostalCode etc. . The data contained in these columns is not always exactly the same due to differences caused by user data entry; so some records may have missing data from some of the columns and there could be spelling differences too. Like the following examples:
1 | Smith | John Raymond | NULL | NI990946B | SW12 8TQ
2 | Smith | John | 06/03/1967 | NULL | SW12 8TQ
3 | Smith | Jon Raymond | 06/03/1967 | NI 99 09 46 B | SW12 8TQ
The problem is that whilst it is easy for a human being to review these 3 entries and conclude that they are most likely the same Client entered in to the database 3 times; I cannot find a reliable way of identifying them using a SQL Query.
I've considered using some sort of concatenation to a new column, minus white space and then using a "WHERE column_name LIKE pattern" query, but so far I can't get anything to work well enough. Fuzzy Logic maybe?
the results would produce a grid something like this for the example above:
ID | Surname | Forenames | DuplicateID | DupSurname | DupForenames
1 | Smith | John Raymond | 2 | Smith | John
1 | Smith | John Raymond | 3 | Smith | Jon Raymond
9 | Brown | Peter David | 343 | Brown | Pete D
next batch of duplicates etc etc . . . .
Hi all,
Does any of you know, how to get the list of all Active SQL Servers on the Network using VB ?

Is there anyway,can we find the list of servers by querying at active directory?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to check for Active Directory group.. ie see if the user running the Stored Proc, is in a specific Active Directory Group? Or if I set up Login's using Active Directory, can I get the Login that way... or will it give me the user's account?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to create a view in SQL populated with users from our Active Directory. I have learnt that this can be done using linked server. I have tried using the following:

go
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = 'ADSI', @useself = 'false', @locallogin = 'sa', @rmtuser = 'lok_applications', @rmtpassword = '9dfFfG374GoiAo6yxxc8oZ'

I mapped a login created with an Active Directory Group on server A to a login on server B through a linked server on server A and received a null login error when attempting to connect.
I changed the Active Directory Group login to an individual active directory login and the connection worked fine.
I saw someone post online somewhere that Active Directory Groups don't work with linked server by design--but I wanted to get confirmation on this. Can anyone confirm this, particularly someone from Microsoft?
For code reuse, I am trying to get a table valued function to return users of a given AD group name. I can easily get this with hard-coding the group name. But because OpenQuery wont accept parameters, I can't insert my group name there. And because functions can't call dynamic SQL, I can't do it via dynamic sql. I have seen people do it with CLR, but I rather not go that route. I can use a stored procedure + cursor and iterate through each group and store the results into real tables and create a cache, but I rather query Active Directory itself to save space, but I rather do the caching then the CLR. Any approach I am missing on how to do this?
The following works fine:
SELECT DISTINCT sAMAccountName
FROM OPENQUERY(ADSI, 'SELECT sAMAccountName, sn
FROM ''LDAP://OU=SomeOU,OU=SomeOtherOU,DC=SomeDC,DC=SomeOtherDC''
WHERE objectCategory=''Person'' AND objectClass=''USER'' AND memberOf=''CN=SomeGroupName,OU=SomeOU,OU=SomeOtherOU,DC=SomeDC,DC=SomeOtherDC''') a
WHERE sn IS NOT NULL
The following gives me the error:
Invalid use of a side-effecting operator 'EXECUTE STRING' within a function.

Hi,
I'm trying to extract all the users and their membership to groups, and the membership of groups to groups from active directory though a link to server.
I can get the users. I can get the groups.... individually.
I can't get the info of what user is a member of or who are members of a group.
Anyone know how to do this or am I going to have to right a vb app? (Anyone already got the code...)
I want to load this data into tables for reporting in my Data Warehouse.

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

Is there an issue with Linked Servers and DTS?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

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.

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.

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 ?

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?
