linked-server

I am currently running a third-party software suite, which uses SQL Server as its database. I have a second instance of SQL Server running in a different location, and some apps that I am building in that instance SQL Server needs to access some data in the third-party software. So, I created an ODBC connection between the boxes, and set up the third-party SQL server as a linked server on my version of SQL Server. As a test, I ran something like the following statement from my SQL server, accessing one of the third-party's tables: SELECT * FROM LinkedServerName.SchemaName.dbo.TableName To

I have a linked server setup in SQL Server to hit an Oracle database. I have a query in SQL Server that joins on the Oracle table using dot notation. I am getting a “No Data Found” error from Oracle. On the Oracle side, I am hitting a table (not a view) and no stored procedure is involved. First, when there is no data I should just get zero rows and not an error. Second, there should actually be data in this case. Third, I have only seen the ORA-01403 error in PL/SQL code; never in SQL. This is the full error message: OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "OM_ORACLE" returned

How do I connect to a named instance of a linked SQL server. If its not linked, I would do the following: ServerName.DatabaseName.dbo.TableName If it is linked, I would assume the following: ServerName\InstanceName.DatabaseName.dbo.TableName but SQL doesn't like the "\" What is the correct syntax Jhonny D. Cano -Leftware- Check this You can surround server name with brackets Martin Kafka the correct syntax is [ServerName\InstanceName].DatabaseName.dbo.TableName . If you are using the default instance, you don't need to specify the instance name. Example using the default instance: [MyServer].

I have a Stored Procedure (SP) in which I pass in one value. In this SP, I am trying to create/populate a Temp Table from the result of another SP that is on a Linked/remote server. That is I am trying to executute an SP in my SP and populate a temp table which my query will use. I have tried using the following syntax, but it does not work as it seems openquery does not like the "+" or the @param1 parameter. select * into #tempTable from openquery([the Linked server],'exec thelinkedSPname ' + @param1) If I have the parameter value hard coded in this it works fine. select * into #tempTable

I have a table say Table1 on SQL Server 2014 and MySQL both. Table1 ID INT,Code VARCHAR(100) I created a linked server MyLinkedServer in SQL Server using "Microsoft OLEDB Provider for ODBC". **Linked Server ** EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'MyLinkedServer', @srvproduct=N'MyLinkedServer', @provider=N'MSDASQL', @datasrc=N'MyLinkedServer' EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'MyLinkedServer',@useself=N'False',@locallogin=NULL,@rmtuser=N'username',@rmtpassword='########' Linked Server Settings EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'MyLinkedServer', @optname=N'data

I recently upgraded our SQL Server from 2005 to 2014 (linked server) and I am noticing that one of the stored procedures which calls the exec command to execute a stored procedure on the upgraded linked server is failing with the error Could not find server 'server name' 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. The issue is that the linked server exists and I have done tests to ensure I can query the tables from the linked server. Here are the checks I did to see if the
