Transact SQL :: Linked Server Return Message Query Timeout
Jul 22, 2015Error below was returned from an agent job:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server returned message "Query timeout expired". [SQLSTATE 01000]
A linked Server was set up against a remote database to backup a database and it runs perfectly well when executed directly against the remote server but returns the above error when set up through Sql Server Agent. Permissions are good as the step returns success. I reset the query timeout property to zero but error persist. What else should I be looking at to make this work?
Transact SQL :: Using Linked Server And Windows Authentication
Sep 24, 2015I have set up two SQL server (e.g. Server1 and Server2) which are set up to use Windows Authentication with my login (e.g. login1).On Server1 I have created a linked server to Server2, I have then selected the Security tab and added my local login and selected impersonate. I have then selected ‘Be Made using the login’s current security context’.I then receive the error message ‘The linked server has been updated but failed a connection test. Do you want to edit the linked server properties?’

Oct 19, 2015I need to replicate database from one of LINKED server to another SQL instance on a different server. What will be a best way to achive this ? I'm using MS SQL server 2008 r2
- Should I just take a backup of my current database and restore it (Will this also cover up access to objects for different users, or do I need to write a separate script for it).
OR
-Should I go to TASK > generate scripts and create one... Here I believe I need to additionally take care of access rights, indexes, constraints.
Transact SQL :: Self Linked Server For Purpose Of Alias?
Oct 2, 2015 basically, we have two databases, one with fix name, eg. DB1 in all environments, and another is named with prefix based on environment, eg. DB2_DEV, DB2_TEST, that is generated by some managed application.
Then we have queries or view/SPs residing in the first database, eg. DB1 that access database resources from the second database, DB2_***. Both databases are residing in the same SQL instance.
Currently, we have hardcoded the database name in the query but would prefer not to manually rename or write other scripts to update the query with the correct database name when deploying to other environments.
For example:
SELECT * FROM DB2_DEV.dbo.vAccounts
When deploy to TEST, we need to update the query to:
SELECT * FROM DB2_TEST.dbo.vAccounts
So, I looked at Synonyms but it seems it can only create 'alias' for tables or views, and not database.
Hence, last thought is to create self linked server, so I can write my query like below and setup the linked server accordingly.
SELECT * FROM SRCDB.dbo.vAccounts
Any consideration to think of, eg. performance, security, etc?

Transact SQL :: Referencing UDFs And Sprocs In Linked Server
Oct 7, 2015We have migrated a database (myDb2014) to a SQL Server 2014 instance. We have another on a 2008R2 instance (myDb2008). Both on the same server.
I have setup a linked server to the 2014 instance from the 2008R2 one.
I have a number of sprocs on myDb2008 that call TVFs and sprocs on myDb2014. This worked fine when they were both on the same instance.
Now however, I have an issue where I would have to update all the references in each calling query.
I looked into creating Synonyms but this only works for Tables/Views.
Is there a workaround to querying myDb2014 TVFs/sprocs without having to update each calling query in myDb2008?

Linked Server Query
May 8, 2001Greetings all,
I have successfully been able to use a SELECT query to see tables on a remote (Linked) server. Now, I want to be able to join those records with a WHERE clause to the same tables I have on my local database. The idea here is to be able to see current data on my local database(which is not current data), which resides in the remote database(which is current data). Here is what I have so far:
SELECT top 10 * from LinkServer.MC_Card.webuser.POS_TX
But, I'm not sure how to SELECT from two tables. Would I do a SELECT from the local database WHERE all records = records on the remote database?
Not sure how to do this. Is this what would be considered a Distributed Query? And how would I make this work with joins like the existing joins I have to the tables in my local database?
This is new territory for me. Sorry if this is such a newbie question.
Thanks,
Bruce
Linked Server Query
Nov 7, 2006I'm using MS SQL Server Express and I've added a linked server. (I created the linked server by right mouse clicking on Server Objects, selecting SQL and entering the SQL2 as the name.) Now I'm trying to query a linked table. The following query works.
SELECT * FROM SQL2.PA.dbo.Counties
This one doesn't:
Select * from OPENQUERY(SQL2,"SELECT * FROM SQL2.PA.dbo.Counties")
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'SELECT * FROM SQL2.PA.dbo.Counties'.
Can you tell me why?

Query Linked Server?
Jan 25, 2008Hi guys I need some help connecting to a LINKED SERVER. I have setup the LINKED SERVER via Enterprise Manager. This is what I did. I know this is a difficult thing to explain so I will try my best and attempt to give you a good understanding of the scenario.
1. I have three servers named DEVUK, DEVUS and DEVASIA.
2. DEVUK I can connect to via my computer and contains a databases called GOD.
3. I went into DEVASIA server and went to Administrative Tools > New ODBC Connection and called it DEVASIAUK.
4. Setup everything in there and tested the connection which completed successfully.
5. I am now on my computer where I have connected to DEVASIA and gone into Server Objects > Linked Servers.
6. I created a new LINKED SERVER and under GENERAL TAB have stated DEVASIAUK and Provider as SQL Server.
7. Security I have used NT_AUTHORITYand option BE MADE USING THE LOGINS CURRENT SECURITY CONTEXT.
I have the SQL Command: SELECT * FROM DEVASIAUK ... tblLocalTable
Am I doing this right? Or am I missing something here? I am new to Linked Servers but it shows it is executing a query but then it says Login Failed.
Appreciate any help, thanks, Onam

Query A Linked Server With Parameters
Apr 20, 2001I need to query a linked server (which is Oracle) with some parameters. When I try to use a four part SQL statement, it does not work. But when I try to use OPEENQUERY statement, it works just fine. Problem comes when I need to send some parameters with the OPENQUERY'S 'query' part.
For example, the following statement works just fine:
SELECT *
FROM OPENQUERY(OracleLinked, "SELECT ACCOUNTNUMBER, POSTINGDATE FROM ORA_SERVER.FINANCEENTRY WHERE DATEOFENTRY BETWEEN '2000.01.01' AND '2000.01.31'")
But If I try to use:
DECLARE @DynamicSQL VARCHAR(1000),
@StartDate VARCHAR(10),
@EndDate VARCHAR(10)
SET @StartDate = '2000.01.01'
SET @EndDate = '2000.01.31'
SELECT @DynamicSQL = "SELECT ACCOUNTNUMBER, POSTINGDATE FROM ORA_SERVER.FINANCEENTRY WHERE DATEOFENTRY BETWEEN '" + @StartDate + "' AND '" + @EndDate + "'"
--SELECT @DynamicSQL
SELECT *
FROM OPENQUERY(OracleLinked, @DynamicSQL)
it does not work.
Well, I did some research and found out that OPENQUERY does not accept variables for its arguments. See the link below:(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/sql/ts_oa-oz_5xix.htm)
Then is there any way I can accomplish what I want to on the Remote server?
Thanks in advance for your help.

May 14, 2001Hi,
I am now facing a problem related to the linked server. I created the connection between server A and B as linked servers. When I execute the following SQL statement on server A,
select * from B.database1.dbo.tableA where id ='12345'
I can get the results within couple of seconds. But the similar query would take several minutes if I switch the server name in the query from B to A and
run it on server B! The tables on server A and B actually have the same sizes and the same indexes.
Do you have any clues and suggestions on this issue?

Running Query For Linked Server
May 23, 2001I have created a linked server using an ODBC connection to an Access database. The command I used for this was:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'Testaccess',
@srvproduct = '',
@provider = 'MSDASQL',
@datasrc = 'test'
GO
where 'Testaccess' is the name of the linked server and 'test' is the name of the ODBC connection. [The ODBC connection stores the name of the Access datbase.]
I can run sp_tables_ex and view the table_schem, table_cat etc etc
BUT when I try to run a query on the linked server, I get the following message:
"7312 - Invalid use of schema and/or catalog for OLE DB provider '%ls'. A four-part name was supplied, but the provider does not expose the necessary interfaces to use a catalog and/or schema."
I am attempting/using the following command specifying the linked server name.database name.owner.table name in the FROM clause:
select a.*
from testaccess.testdb.dbo.temptable a
Any ideas what I am doing wrong??

Can See But Cannot Query DB2 Data Via Linked Server
Jun 13, 2001I have an ODBC DSN that lets me see the data via Access, however, in EM I set up the DB2 server as a linked server using the OLEDB provider for ODBC, with a Linked server name of DB2DB, a product name of MY DB2 connection and the data source of db2 (which is the DSN name)
The Provider string, Location and Catalog I leave blank
Under security, I assign all users to be a valid username/password
I can then see the tables in EM, but when I try to query them in QA I get this
Select * from db2db...customer
Server: Msg 7313, Level 16, State 1 Line 1
Invalid Schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'
I am using SS7.0, and DB2 connect V7.1
I do not have/use SNA server
My actual requirement is to have a job autmatically run every day to copy certain records onto the SQL Server, but the first step is to be able to query the DB2 data
any ideas ? I think I need to enter something in the catalog box, but what ?
thanks in advance.
Linked Server To DB2 Query Hangs
Jul 26, 2001We want to read data from a DB2 view so we set up a linked server in SQL7 (ODBC via Neon's Shadow Direct) but when we issue the following type of query from Query analyzer:
select * from openrowset(my_db2link,'select * from test.myview where mycol = ''value''')
it just hangs, and we can't kill the process (the Enterprise manager 'KIll Process' button has no effect!)
- the only way we can get rid of these queries seems to be to stop/restart SQL Server
When we look at current activity in Enterprise manager the process seems to be waiting for a resource (either MISCELLANEOUS or PAGEIOLATCH)
The query works OK if I run it on the server using Shadow direct, so the error must be between SQL Server and Shadow direct
Has anyone seen this error before?
Thanks in advance, John
Linked Server / Distributed Query
Oct 18, 2000Three weeks ago we began a project that involved importing data from an AIX DB2 6 environment via a linked server configuration. Following the data import a second query was executed against the db2 environment using data that resides in the new table within SQL 7 in the join statement (a very basic example is provided below) This was all accomplished in sequence via a package.
SELECT F_NAME, L_NAME, PASSWD
FROM SQL7.LOCALSRV.dbo.NEWUSERTBL as new, DB2.SYSIBM.MASTERTBL.OLDUESRTBL as old
WHERE new.USER_ID = old.USER_ID
Originally we had no problems and while the execute time was not exactly speedy it was tolerable as we would revisit optimization after we established if what we were trying to accomplish was feasible. At the outset the first data import to build the local table was immeadeate and then the distributed query to retirieve more info to build another local table against the DB2 server took aproxiamtly 1 minute per user row returned. Currently we are looking at still having an immeadeate data import (a matter of seconds to build the first table)but now we are looking at more than 1 hour returned for 1 correesponding row of data off of DB2. We are utilizing the the IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER.
Any input or suggestions as to what could be causing this or perhaps a more efficeint way to code the statement would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Linked Server Query Problem
Jan 14, 2004We are using linked servers, additionally, some of our tables are being merge replicated with identity ranges.
When I run a SELECT statement on a non-merged table looking for a constant value, I get the proper return.
When I run a SELECT statement on a merge-repl. table looking for a constant value like "5", it returns 0 records, execution plan says it's using a "Constant Internal table" - however, when I run the same select statement and change the where clause to ">4" it returns the row with "5" and whatever other rows match the criterion. What in the world is going on?

Running A Distributed Query Against A Loopback Linked Server In SQL Server 2005 Is Not Supported
Aug 27, 2007I 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.

SQL Server 2008 :: Linked Server Tests Fine But Query Does Not Work
Apr 16, 2015Using 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.
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([1xx.1xx.xx.1xx], 'SELECT * FROM ActType')

SQL Server 2000 To SQL 2005 Linked Server - Query Problem
Jan 16, 2008Hello
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?

Error Query Data Through Linked Server , SQL Server 2005
May 27, 2008Hello,
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?
Thanks,
