Sp_addlinkedserver
Mar 31, 2008
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.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Terry

Hey guys and gals,
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!

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.

Hi,
Iam trying to use database in different server. i have searched for that i got to know there is something called
"sp_addlinkedserver" & "sp_addlinkedsrvlogin " stored procs exist. i have tried using this code block to register server to sys servers.
Code Block
exec sp_addlinkedserver @server='ServerName'
exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname='ServerName', @useself=false, @rmtuser='testUser', @rmtpassword='pwd'
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.
Thanks,
-Badri

I'm trying to link access table and execute in Query analyzer or query window.
but I'm pretty sure that I connect properly....
1)
sp_addlinkedserver 'linkedserver', 'Access 97', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','C:Mag.mdb'
after i ran this it displays....
(1 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
Server added.
2)
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'linkedserver', true, 'sa', 'sqluser','sqlpassword'
(0 row(s) affected)
(0 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
3)
after that when i try to run the sql statement like
Select * from linkedserver..tablename
I GOT THIS ERROR MESSAGE:
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'linkedserver..tablename'.
I appreciate if anybody have idea about that.
Thankx a lot

QUESTION 1
Is it possible to run a JOIN on tables that are on seperate servers and youre not able to link the servers using "sp_addlinkedserver?"
QUESTION 2
I try to run
"exec sp_addlinkedserver 'sqlserver1'"
and I get the following:
"Msg 15247, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSaddserver_internal, Line 36
User does not have permission to perform this action."
I try to then run
"SELECT *
FROM server1.database1.schema1.table1 AS a
JOIN server2.database2.schema2.table2 AS b
ON a.[column1] = b.[column2]"
and I get the following:
"OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "ITCMSARPT" 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 18452, Level 14, State 1, Line 0
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."
It would appear the the server is now linked, yet it does't accept my credentials. I do have the ability to log into the server on a seperate query.
Can anyone provide a solution to my issue?

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

I wrote the following stored procedure. Note that SERVER_BK is an ODBC connection on the server that links to the remote server database.
--Creates the stored procedure that will be called in the Tablecounts script to send the comparison out to admins
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'sp_compare_table_record_counts') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsProcedure') = 1)
drop procedure sp_compare_table_record_counts
go
create proc sp_compare_table_record_counts as
----Creates the connection to the Remote Database. We need to make sure that the
----ODBC connections on each of the Production and Development Servers
----are named the same, so that we can use the same script and it will refer to the correct server
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'SERVER_BK',
@srvproduct = '',
@provider = 'MSDASQL',
@datasrc = 'SERVER_BK'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'SERVER_BK', 'true'
set quoted_identifier off
select substring(remote_table.tablename,1,40) as Tablename, local_table.tablerowcount as L_SERVER,
remote_table.tablerowcount as R_SERVER,
case when remote_table.tablerowcount = local_table.tablerowcount then 'Counts Match'
else 'Counts Do Not Match'
end as Result_of_Compare
from OpenQuery([SERVER_BK], 'select * from tablecounts') remote_table, tablecounts local_table
where remote_table.tablename = local_table.tablename
order by Result_of_Compare, Tablename
-- table name on R_SERVER but not on L_SERVER
select substring(local_table.tablename,1,40) as 'Tables not on R_SERVER'
from tablecounts local_table where local_table.tablename not in (select * from OpenQuery([SERVER_BK], 'select tablename from tablecounts'))
-- table name on L_SERVER but not on R_SERVER
select substring(remote_table.tablename,1,40) as 'Tables not on L_SERVER'
from OpenQuery([SERVER_BK], 'select * from tablecounts') remote_table where remote_table.tablename not in (select tablename from tablecounts)
----Deletes the connection to the Remote Database to free up resources. This is just cleanup.
EXEC sp_dropserver 'SERVER_BK', 'droplogins'
I tested, and the stored procedure works OK when it is run as a New Query (i.e. I copy the guts and run it). When I execute the following, it fails:
exec msdb..sp_send_dbmail
@profile_name = 'DB Mail Profile',
@recipients = 'Recipient List',
@query_no_truncate = 25,
@query_result_separator = ' ',
@subject = 'Record Counts',
@query = 'exec db..sp_compare_table_record_counts', <--db is the appropriate db where the sp is
@body_format = 'text'
Here is the error I get...any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm kind of new at this:
Msg 14661, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_send_dbmail, Line 476
Query execution failed: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Server L_SERVER, Procedure sp_compare_table_record_counts, Line 28
The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "SERVER_BK" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Server L_SERVER, Procedure sp_compare_table_record_counts, Line 28
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "SERVER_BK".
Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.

Error Message:
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.
T-SQL:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'CONVERTSDB', @srvproduct=N'Access', @provider=N'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', @datasrc=N'F:Converts.mdb';
Environement:
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?
