I have two servers Server1 and Server2 On both servers i have a Database called QAI is there a way that i can create a linked server with an alias from Server2 to Server1 but instead of Server1.QAI.dbo.tbBlah Have it aliased as QAI.dbo.tbBlah This is needed due to the QAI DB on server2 failing and needing to fall back to the Server1 instance while it is fixed Thanks Julle This works.

I'm trying to pull in data from a remote SQL Server. I can access the remote server using SQL authentication; I haven't had any luck using the same credentials with sp_addlinkedserver.

SQL Server 2008 Linked Server and ad-hoc INSERTs cause a rapid memory leak which eventually causes the server to become non-responsive and ends with the following error: Msg 701, Level 17, State 123, Server BRECK-PC\SQLEXPRESS, Line 2 There is insufficient system memory in resource pool 'internal' to run this query.
