HOW DO WE MAP THE LOGINS USING EM AFTER ADDING THE SERVER USING SP_ADDLINKEDSERVER
Can anyone explain me as to how to map my local_userid to the linked server. Under the security tab of the linked server properties what options are to be used..any help in this regard is greatly appreciated
I got asked a question yesterday about queries that JOIN between two databases on a single server... Simple enough
SELECT e1.employee_number FROM Database1.dbo.employees As e1 INNER JOIN Database2.dbo.employees As e2 ON e1.employee_number = e2.employee_number
But what about joining tables from two separate servers? I figured that this would use full 4 part naming
SELECT e1.employee_number FROM Server1.Database1.dbo.employees As e1 INNER JOIN Server2.Database2.dbo.employees As e2 ON e1.employee_number = e2.employee_number
But I got the following error message
Server: Msg 7202, Level 11, State 2, Line 1 Could not find server 'Server2' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers.
So off I went to trusty BoL and Google to see what sp_addlinkedserver was all about and came up with the following
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'Server2', N'SQL Server'
Is this syntax correct?
I have yet to execute it because I have a couple of other questions that I was hoping you people could help me with first... Is this process reversible? I've not found a sp_removelinkedserver or similar yet (it's probably staring me right in the face!) Does the link affect all databases on a single server, or just the one I'm playing with? How do I connect to a specific database on a specific server? Is it a simple case of linking the two servers and then using 4 part naming to do so?
Hmm, I think that pretty much covers it! EDIT: highlighted in pink
Our Production server is Windows 2003 and SQL 2000 Enterprise. The server name is VB-GP.
I dumped 2 of the databases from the production server and restored them to server name SQL2K5-Pub (a TEST server) which was a fresh install of Windows 2003 and SQL 2000 Enterprise. I then upgraded this "TEST" server to SQL 2005 Enterprise. All is fine so far.
Now I'm setting up Transactional Replication in my test environment. I configured SQL2K5-Pub as a Distributor which went well. I created a a Publication of 1 database which went well. I attempted to create a Publication of the second database and received the following error.
Error Message ********************************************************************* Could not find server 'VB-GP' in sys.servers. Verify that the correct server name was specified. If necessary, execute the stored procedure sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sys.servers. Could not use view or function '[dbo].ContractBillingStatus_ *********************************************************************
Remember - server name VB-GP is the production server but I have restored to a test server with a different server name. I do not want the production server to have any part of my test environment.
I have used this command sp_addlinkedserver 'linkedserver', 'Access', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','C:CATS_MDBintrax_1_db.mdb'
to link an .mdb databse. the trouble is, I do not know how to query tbl_user which is inside. When I try
Code Snippetselect * from [linkedserver].catalogs.dbo.tbl_user
it throws this error:
Msg 7312, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid use of schema or catalog for OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "linkedserver". A four-part name was supplied, but the provider does not expose the necessary interfaces to use a catalog or schema.
when i login using Domain user it is throwing an error as "Login Failed for the User(Domain user)", but when i use "sa" user it works fine. Is there any settings which i have to take care while using domain user. can anyone help on this.
I am trying to write a stored procedure that will automatically link a server and then run a stored proc on the newly linked server. At the end the stored proc will drop the server. I do not want a permanantly linked server due to the fact that this only has to be ran once a month, can you run a remote stored proc any other way then linking the servers?? Cheers to all who reply
Msg 7202, Level 11, State 2, Procedure LoadConvertsDB, Line 24 Could not find server 'CONVERTSDB' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers.
SQL 2005 Std, Win2000 Pro SP4, same computer. F is the network drive. SQL Log with the Windows NT domain account. F is the network drive.
Symptoms:
1. I can execute the T-SQL in the Query window in the SQL2005 Management Studio without any issue. After that, CONVERTSDB is in the Linked Servers lists.
2. If I put the T-SQL into a stored procedure, it does not work, and generate the above error. (EXEC dbo.LoadConvertsDB)
3. In the same Query window, If the above T-SQL is executed first and then execute the stored procedure, it will succeed. In the stored procedure, only the below T-SQL is before the sp_addlinkedserver.
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
IF EXISTS (SELECT srv.name FROM sys.servers srv WHERE srv.server_id != 0 AND srv.name = N'CONVERTSDB') EXEC master.dbo.sp_dropserver @server=N'CONVERTSDB', @droplogins='droplogins';
a different scenario leads to the same problem, the error message: Could not find "Standby" in sysservers. Run "sp_addlinkedserver" to add the server to sysservers"
I browsed the thread for the same error message and the solution doesn't applies to me. Here is my system settings. we have a kind of backup system. a primary server is set up to copy the database files to a standby server. when the primary is off, the standby server will take over primary's name and ip. and our application runs on the standby as if in the primary. in both machine the odbc connection are set to point the primary server.
this setup works well in SQL server 2000 for both primary and standby servers, but it gives the error message on SQL 2005 in the standby server. I noticed that this is because the application opens an empty table. after inserting a record by hand, the error has gone away.
I know it doesn't make too much sense, but it 's what I observed. Could anyone give me some input how could this happens and what' s the solution?
This morning I can not connect to our SQL Server 7.0 whatever from client or server. The error message which I list below:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A connection could not be estabished to server--Timeout expired Please verfy SQL Server is running and check your SQL Server registration properties and try again. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We use windows NT authentication. We did not do any change on NT. The SQL Server daily schedule job usally stoped at 10:00AM, but today from the Window NT Task Manager, we can see that the SQL Server is still running untill now.
hi, I have settup up sql mail and did the following: 1. created an E-mail account and configured Out look by creating a pop3 mail profile. tested it by sending and receiving mail, that is ook 2. I Created one domain account for MSsqlserver and Sql Agent service. both services use same account and start automatically in the control panel-services 3. I used the profile that I created in outlook to test the sql mail but got an error: Error 22030 : A MAPI error ( error number:273) occurred: MapiLogon Ex Failed due to MAPI Error 273: MAPI Logon Failed
I really do not know what went wrong. I followed the steps from bol and still having a problem. Am I missing something.
I do have a valid email account I do have a valid domain account I tested outlook using the email account and it worked. so why sql server does not recognise MAPI.
My next question, How to configure MAPI in Sql server if what I did was wrong.

Hello, I am facing a huge problem in my sql server database using access as a front end.The main problem is trying to execute queries "views" ,since they reside on sql server now,and using variables or parameters in reports and forms to filter on this query. Ex. how can the following be implemented using the same query but in sql server? Access ------ SELECT MAT_Charts.YYYYMM FROM MAT_Charts WHERE ((([Area_Code] & "-" & [GROUP_CODE])=[Reports]![MAT_Chart_C1].[MAT_Key])) GROUP BY MAT_Charts.YYYYMM;
It is specifically this statement in which I am interested: [GROUP_CODE])=[Reports]![MAT_Chart_C1].[MAT_Key]))

Hi Guys i write a thread before asking for help with reading an uploaded csv file, i have my code, it reads the csv file and currently displays it in a datagrid but what i actually want is to take the read information and import it into my sql express db.

Hi, I am trying to make a backup of my database using Sql-DMO
When I do the backup on my server, my code runs fine. But when I backup from across the network from another computer, the database is saved on the server and not on the computer from where I am executing my application. How set SQLl-DMO to backup on the computer from where I am?
here is my code (found on the net)... Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor 'create an instance of a server class Dim my_srv As SQLDMO._SQLServer = New SQLDMO.SQLServerClass 'connect to the server my_srv.Connect("servername", "userid", "password")
'create a backup class instance Dim my_backup As SQLDMO.Backup = New SQLDMO.BackupClass 'set the backup device = files property my_backup.Devices = my_backup.Files 'set the files property to the File Name text box my_backup.Files = Me.txtFilePath.Text 'set the database to the chosen database my_backup.Database = "MYDB" 'perform the backup my_backup.SQLBackup(my_srv) MsgBox("Database successfully backed up.", MsgBoxStyle.Information) Cursor = Cursors.Default
I've a bactch file that is ran by the user and it looks for files and if it doesnot exist it waits for it and when it exsits, through isql it truncates the table and bcp in the file. In bcp files the loginname used in isql has dbo rights to truncate the table and the batch file also has password. The user who runs the script can also view the batch file and can know the password, Is there any way I could rewrite it so that the user cann't view the password or other way like SQL DMO or DTS package
