Querying a linked sql server

Question

I added a linked server, which is showing in the linked server list, but when I query it, it throws an error with the db server name.

EXEC sp_helpserver
EXE         


        

Answer 1

SELECT * FROM [server].[database].[schema].[table]

This works for me. SSMS intellisense may still underline this as a syntax error, but it should work if your linked server is configured and your query is otherwise correct.
