I need help setting up replication between my SQL Server (data warehouse) database and a linked informix database.
Does anyone know the best to accomplish this. I can provide any additional information you require to help you, help me ;-)
What can be the reason(s) why I can't get data from a linked server using an ODBC datasource that works fast & fine from MS Access?
I have an ODBC connection (System DSN) configured for an Informix ODBC driver.
The Test button (belonging to this driver-setup) reports a successfull connection test.
Getting data from this database by linking tables in MS Access works fast and easy.
But I have tried for many days now to setup a linked server from SQL Server (2005)
Creation goes fine, but as soon as I issue a query, (e.g. 'select * from infrem723...remotetable' or using 'openquery')
I get the following error:
---
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "infrem723" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "infrem723".
---
Why is Access able to read what "MSDASQL" cannot?
I am desperate - can anybody help?Thanks a lot!
HI..
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, I'm trying to set up a linked server in sql server 2000 (in both win2k an NT) with informix. I've tried using the informix cli driver to ODBC and the OLE DB driver provided by IBM, but I always get errors.
When I try to set the linked server with ODBC the error is : 7399 , It says that the provider did not give any information about the error (..??...) I tested the DSN with the dbping tool and it works fine. I also testet it linking tables with access and also works.
When I try to set up the server using OLE DB, the erro message is Error: 7303 Could not initialize data source object of OLE DB provider "ifxoledbc".OLEDB erro trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Ifxoledbc' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80040e21: [PROPID=unknown PROPERTY ID VALUE = " .... and so on.....
In both machines, sql server have sp3, the latest MDAC.
The curious thing is that in another machine running windows NT (it's almost a twin of the trouble machine) the linked server works fine and I even can run querys.
I'm desperate!! could anybody help me please!!!!!!!!!!
PD: Attached is an image that shows the error message
Can anyone halp me with this?
I want to link/access informix database to Sql Server stored procedure.
I am using Linked Server in SQL Server 2008R2 connecting to a couple of Linked Servers.
I was able to connect Linked Servers, but I cannot point to a specific database in a Linked Server, also, I cannot rename Linked Server's name.
How to point the linked server to a specific database? How to rename the Linked Server?
The following is the code that I am using right now:
USE [master]
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver
   @server = N'Machine123Instance456',
   @srvproduct=N'SQL Server' ;
GO
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'Machine123Instance456', 'false', NULL, 'username', 'password'Â Â
Hi,
I have a requirement to propagate a table with 200000 records to 50 servers connected
by reliable WAN links. I've planned to use SNAPSHOT weekly. The Changes are normally within 10% of the total records. Is it wise to take only changes made and insert in to remote servers using Remote server/Distributed query.
Please suggest.
Hello,
I have one server using SQL Server Express (Server1SqlExpress - Sql Authentication) and another one using Sql Server 2005 (Server2 - Windows Authentication)
My Server2 is the publisher for a replication and Server1SqlExpress is the client for this replication.
For any reason that has been discussed in details with Raymond Mak in some other threads, some triggers and stored procedures cannot be replicated via the replication, so I use a post replication script.
To avoid having to maintaint coherent my source control, my master DB and the post replication script I wanted to create a script that will extract from the master DB the source code of the problematic triggers and stored procedures.
To do that, here the kind of script I use (example for the stored procedure):
DECLARE @query NVARCHAR(max)
select @query = routine_definition from openquery(MASTER,
'
SELECT routine_definition FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
WHERE routine_name = N''spU_GUI_AppliquePerteAgrement''
')
EXEC (@query)
So my script will be run on the subscription client and will get the script to the master db using a linked server. So, here is the step I have followed :
Create a domain user (let's call it localAdmin)
Set localAdmin as a local administrator for Server1 and Server2
Update the properties of my subscription to impersonate localAdmin on the publisher and on the subscriber
Create a linked server on Server1, linked to Server2. (for security, I have tried either "Be made without using a security context" and "Be made using the current security context")
Then I am able to run my script on Server1SqlExpress but when I launch the replication, here is the error I receive : "Login failed for Autorite NT Anonymous Login"
Do you have any idea of what can happen ?
Thanks,
Pierre-Emmanuel
hello everybody
I set up a linked server with odbc for infomix
but cant make a linked server with oledb
and I cant insert into infomix tables
Hi,
I have a msaccess linked server that I use to execute sql 2000 stored procedures from a front end in adp (access data project) format without any problem, if it is used on the same machine where the sql server resides (with any user logged on). In any other machine on the local network where I also need to use it, I get an ole/db error message saying that the microsoft jet database engine can not open the file because it's allready opened exclusivly or because it do not has permissions. I created the linked server with both UNC and normal path with the same result.
Thank's for all the help/clues you can give me.
I have a sproc that will generate a dynamic call (and this must be done in a stored procedure),... Anyway the dynamic call I am having problems with is that I need to dynamically create a statement to backup a database. It works as long as the database is on the same server / instance as the stored procedure. I want to be able to from server/instance A create a command that does a backup of a database that is on server B. I just can't figure out the syntax for a database backup where the database is on another server.
Trying something like [ServerName].[DatabaseName] does not work...
We are upgrading from SQL 2008R2 to SQL2014 but we have discovered that a couple of our applications are not supported on 2014. We'd like to keep one 2008R2 server and one 2014 server until we have time to upgrade the applications and move everything to the new server. The problem is we have custom code in some of the 2014 databases that access tables in the 2008 databases.
I know we can easily do cross server joins by using a linked server, but it would be a huge undertaking to find all that code and add a linked server name in front of every table, stored procedure, etc. So my question is, is there any way to move a database to a different server and still be able to access it without having to qualify the object names with a linked server? Is there some kind of server/database synonym that can be setup that would be recognized by all databases?
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
Thanks
Is there a way to bypass the syntax checking when adding a stored procedure via a script?
I have a script that has a LINKed server reference (see below) .
INSERT
INTO ACTDMSLINKED.ACTDMS.DBO.COILS ..etc.
ACTDMSLINKED does not exist at the time I need to add the stored procedure that references it.
PLEASE to not tell me to add the LINK and then run the script. This is not an option in this scenerio.
Thanks,
Terry
Hi ,
I am an Informix user who has shifted to SQL Server,,,,I just wanted to know the equivalent of 'ISOLATION TO DIRTY READ' as in Informix in SQL SERVER....
Thanks,

Hi,
Could anyone tell me how the data can be ported from informix to sql server ?
Is there a way to run the informix query from sql server ?
Thanks,
Vijay.
Hi all,
Anyone here ever used the Informix database and can give me some differences between Informix and SQL.
One of our users is thinking about purchasing a COTS product that only supports an Informix database. I need to convince the user to evaluate other rival applications that can support SQL and need some arguments in favor of not going with Informix.
Any ideas appreciated,
Faustina
Hi,
I am considdering to link a Informix database (running on SCO Unix) to a SQL Server 2005. Only problem is ... I have no idea how to do this! The reason I'm attempring this is to try and see if it would fix a problem I'm experiencing when using Reporting Services to generate reports from a Informix data source. I've been told that setting up a linked server might fix the problem. If anyone could perhabs guide me through setting up the linked server I would be very grateful! The ODBC credentials for setting up a connection to the Informix DB as follows:
Servername : pal_tli
Hostname : server_name
Service : pal_ser
Protocal : sesoctcp
Database : db_name
Username : user_name
Password : pword
:confused:
I have multiple web databases for storefront orders as linked servers on SQL Server 2008 R2. I need to organize the data for these orders into a structure that can be imported into my ERP application db frequently either on demand or periodically during the day. We are essentially trying to make the manual order entry process automated. My thought was to get the data into views that resemble the schema of the order table in my application db and then schedule a stored procedure with sql jobs or a load routine from within the ERP application that would insert data from the view into the order table.

I want to know how to connect to informix from SQL server and how can I run queries for the tables in Informix from sql server.
Thanks
Arun
Our entire sales database sits on an Informix server and users run their reports directly to this server.
Because of the volume of data - upwards of 7 million rows in some tables we are finding performance is becoming an issue. We realise that Informix is not the best for running queries and so are looking to replicate to a SQL server and use that as a reporting server.
My chosen method is DTS using ODBC which works fine. However due to the sheer volume of data to be downloaded each night (over a 512K wan link) we only want to download changed data.
Is there any way we can get SQL2000 to download only change data - i.e a differential download or something? We don't have a unique field in the table (for whatever reason) such as sales date or transaction ID (shops might upload old / back-dated transactions for example due to a systems failure).
If I do have to download all the data every night is my method the most efficient or is there some other approach I could use?
Ultimatly the aim here is to relieve the Informix server of the reporting overhead so any alternative ideas are welcome!
Many thanks
I need to transfer seven tables from Informix DB to SQL Server every night. Any suggestions for the best way of doing it? Is DTS the best way? How about through replication?
Thanks in advance.
we r doing some application and SQL server as backend DB Server. this sql server has to be updated continiously 24*7 with data from 3 external sources Cache DB, Iformix and Oracle DB servers. How to handle this in such away that all changes at 3 external sources to be updated to SQL server and this data will use by our application at frondend.
we though of ODBC., but ODBC is very very slow. It should lke Shadowing.
How to handle this?. any help will greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I'm using a couple of linked servers.
I want to create a stored procedure on all of the linked servers in a database with a name which exists on all of the linked servers.
For executing SQL on all of the linked servers I'm using:
declare @x int
declare @dbname varchar(500)
declare @SQL nvarchar(600)
set @x = 1
create table #databases (ID int IDENTITY,name varchar(500))
insert #databases select instancelongname from instances
while @x <= (select max(id) from #databases)
begin
select @dbname = name from #databases where id = @x
select @SQL='blabla bla bla create PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_xxxx]'
execute @SQL
set @x = @x + 1
end
drop table #databases
Is it possible to use a ‘create procedure’ in this construction?
Can anybody give me some help how to create a proper syntax for it?
Any help is kindly appreciated!
Hi,
I've installed MyODBC-3.51.06 and succsesfully created 2 odbc sources to the MySQL database with the ODBC data source administrator. One is a User DSN, the other a system DSN (Q1: what's the difference?) The test in that applet perfoms positively.
Running a dataimport of the tables using the import data option in enterprise manager does work as well.
Now for the part that gives me trouble. I would like to create a linked server using enterprise manager of SQL server 2000 (SQL 8.00.194) but I'm totaly stuck there. So Q2: how to get this set up?
Does anyone know where to get a migration tool for porting Informix stored procedures to SQL Server? I'm not looking forward to hand migrating 111 stored procedures. I can't find a migration tool on the net. :eek:
Thanks for any tips.

Hi i have a sql server instance on my system and it is linking into an oracle database on another server. When i run queries against this other server...it takes forever...
However, when i use access, and link the table and run the same query against the oracle database...it runs immediatly.
I am very confused as to why there would be such a performance difference and why sql server would run so slow.
I am wondering if it has something to do with the way i configured the linked server. there are several options that I didn't know what they meant.
collation compatible (not selected)
Data access (selected)
RPC (not selected)
RPC Out (not selected)
collation name
connection timeout
query timeout
Hi all,
I hope someone can help me with linked servers.
In one of my applications running on a MSSQL database, I need to issue a select call to an Oracle database to pull information into my application.
To accomplish this,
1. the ORacle Admin has created a view of the Oracle database for me.
2. I have installed the Oracle client on the SQl server box.
3. A friend has told me that one way to accomplish this is create a linked server from SQL to use OLE/DB for Oracle to connect to the Oracle database
4. So I create the linked server successfully; create the server login sp_addlinkedsrvlogin successfully
5. When I go to query the database, I get the error below:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 (or greater) client software installation.
You will be unable to use this provider until these components have been installed.]
Anybody understand this?
Thanks in advance,
Faustina
I would like to query a linked server and join that database to my local database. I finally was able to get it to work and I got this query to work:
select * from openquery([hcda-storagesrvlaserfiche], 'select * from toc where parentid=358')
I would like to join one of my tables from my local database to the query. How can I do this? Thanks!
