Table Structure Of Linked Server

Aug 2, 2005

Hello!

Does anybody know how to get tables structure of linked server (DBF tables
via ODBC connection). I know that table structure of "normal" (not linked)
server can get from systables and syscolumns tables, but now I need a
structure of linked server tables.

Thanks!

Copy SQL Express Table Structure To SQL Server

Dec 16, 2005

How does one generate Transact-SQL for table structure in SQL server express 2005?
I have very limited access to an SQL server database (using rudimentary web based interface) for my hosted website.  I am ready to deploy an application that was developed with Visual Studio 2005 using SQL server express as the database.  I have four tables that I want to copy (structure only) from "express" to the hosted SQL server.  I think I need to generate Transact-SQL statements to "create" the table structure, then run these statements as a stored procedure on the web based SQL server.  I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to generate the code from SQL express 2005.  Anyone had any experience with this?
thanks.

The OLE DB Provider MSDAORA For Linked Server .... Does Not Contain The Table COUNTRY. The Table Either Does Not Exist Or The Current User Does Not Have Permissions On That Table.

Jun 13, 2006

I am using SQL Server 2005 and trying to create a linked server on Oracle 10. I used the commands below:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'test1',
@srvproduct = 'Oracle',
@provider = 'MSDAORA',
@datasrc = 'testsource'
exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = 'test1',
@useself = 'false',
@rmtuser='sp',
@rmtpassword='sp'
 
When I execute
select * from test1...COUNTRY
I get the error. "The OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "...." does not contain the table "COUNTRY". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table."
The 'sp' user I am connecting is the owner of the table. What could be the problem ?
Thanks a lot.

SQL Server 2008 :: Transmission Table Structure In Database Is Inconsistent

Jun 1, 2015

I have an issue in my production , SQL server 2008 R2 , in Error log it is said “ An error occurred in dialog transmission Error : 9655 , State : 3 and Error : 9736 Severity : 16 State 0

I checked in sysmessages , it is said :” The transmission queue table structure in database is inconsistent. Possible database corruption “

So do you think I need to run DBCC checkdb ? Should I run it after working hours or it is fine within working hours ?

So condition like. If table A Column Data does not Equal Table B Column data then

If datatype is Date then display Difference of Days.

if Datatype is Numeric then display Difference between value.( it display 0 if doesn't have difference)

if Datatype is Varchar then display No Match word.

Append Query From Access Table To Linked SQL Server Table Failing

Jun 18, 2004

Strange one here - I am posting this in both SQL Server and Access forums

Access is telling me it can't append any of the records due to a key violation.

The query:

INSERT INTO dbo_Colors ( NameColorID, Application, Red, Green, Blue )
SELECT Colors_Access.NameColorID, Colors_Access.Application, Colors_Access.Red, Colors_Access.Green, Colors_Access.Blue
FROM Colors_Access;

Colors_Access is linked from another MDB and dbo_Colors is linked from SQL Server 2000.

There are no indexes or foreign contraints on the SQL table. I have no relationships on the dbo_ table in my MDB. The query works if I append to another Access table. The datatypes all match between the two tables though the dbo_ tables has two additional fields not refrenced in the query.

I can manually append the records using cut and paste with no problems.

I have tried re-linking the tables.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brad

Altering Table Definition On A Linked Server Table.

Aug 11, 2000

SQL Server 7.0 (SP1)
Error:
------
OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata. An extra column was supplied during execution that was not found at compile time.

A column was deleted from the a table on the linked server and now this message appears when using the linked server definition to access the table. Deleting/Recreating the Linked Server has no effect. I found an earlier note on this...but it just kind of ended with no resolution. Anyone have any thoughts on this now.

Thanks for any input.

Database Automatically Creates Xxx_Temp Table While Modifying / Updating Table Structure .

Dec 16, 2007

Hello friends,

I am new to the SQL Server 2005 development.

From last 1 week or so, i have been facing very strange problem with my sql server 2005s database
which is configured and set on the hosting web server. Right now for managing my sql server 2005 database,
i am using an web based Control Panel developed by my hosting company.

Problem i am facing is that, whenever i try to modify (i.e. add new columns) tables in the database,
it gives me error saying that,

"There is already an object named 'PK_xxx_Temp' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider".

where xxx is the table name.

I have done quite a bit research on the problem and have also searched on the net for solution but still
the problem persist.

Thanks in advance. Any help will be appreciated.

Transact SQL :: Table Structure - Inserting Data From Other Temp Table

Aug 14, 2015

Below is my table structure. And I am inserting data from other temp table.

CREATE TABLE #revf (
[Cusip] [VARCHAR](50) NULL, [sponfID] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, GroupSeries [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [tran] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [AddDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [SetDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [PoolNumber] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Aggregate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Price] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [NetAmount] [VARCHAR](max) NULL,

[Code] ....

Now in a next step I am deleting the records from #revf table. Please see the delete code below

DELETE
FROM #revf
WHERE fi_gnmaid IN (
SELECT DISTINCT r2.fi_gnmaid
FROM #revf r1, #revf r2

[Code] ...

I don't want to create this #rev table so that i can avoid the delete statement. But data should not affect. Can i rewrite the above as below:

SELECT [Cusip], [sponfID], GroupSeries, [tran], [AddDate], [SetDate], [PoolNumber], [Aggregate], [Price], [NetAmount], [Interest],
[Coupon], [TradeDate], [ReversalDate], [Description], [ImportDate], MAX([fi_gnmaid]) AS Fi_GNMAID, accounttype, [IgnoreFlag], [IgnoreReason], IncludeReversals, DatasetID, [DeloitteTaxComments], [ReconciliationID],

[Code] ....

If my above statement is wrong . Where i can improve here? And actually i am getting 4 rows difference.

Creating Table On A Different Linked Server

May 6, 2007

Using Microsoft SQL 2000

When creating a table I want to be able to specify not only the db to create it on but also which server to create it on. I have two servers that are linked together, I can view all data without issue.

Doing further research it looks like with the create table command you can tell it the new table name and the database but you can't tell it which server to use. Is there a way of doing this?

Example :

CREATE TABLE LAPTOP.database.dbo.tableName (a INT) gives the following error:

The object name 'LAPTOP.database.dbo.' contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 2.

I am new to linked servers so basically my question is, how do you point to a server within sql before I execute the create table command?

Tx in advance

Foreign Key From Another Table In A Linked Server

Apr 19, 2008

Hi,

We're having a few linked servers in our company. some tables in one of the linked servers include columns (better saying, foreign keys) of tables in another server. I wonder if there's a way to create a foreign key referencing one column in another server. That is, suppose there's Column A in table A in Server A which references Column B in table B in server B, is there a way to create column A as foreign key referencing column B?

Any idea is appreciated.

Temp Table On Linked Server

Oct 7, 2005

Trying to do this all day and googling for answers but found none, hopesomeone can help. Thanks in advance.select * intoOPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB','SERVER';'uid';'pwd',##test) from LocalTableReason: I am joining local tables with linked server tables using theformat "LinkedServer.database.owner.object" to execute a query, ittakes forever to execute since the tables joined on the remote servershave more than 50Mil records. I read somewhere that sql server needs tocopy the tables locally to the temp db and does the join there, hence Iwas hoping to dump the data of the local database into a temp table onthe remote server and then do a join with OPENQUERY, which will executethe query on the linked server and return the results.

Insert Into Table On Linked Server

Oct 23, 2006

Insert statement to remote server is running very slowly. I have run Profiler and find there is a 'sp_cursor' call for each row. The source system is SQL2005 and destination is SQL2000(sp4). The linked server is using 'SQL server' type connection. Source query is against a single table with a where clause. source and destination table are identical with Primary keys. Purpose is just to move the rows. Connection is a slow network connection - should be ok. I have already overcome same problem for related update and delete queries by use of 'EXECUTE (query) AT LinkedServer' that works great - but insert can not take advantage of this...

INSERT [LinkedServSQL2000sp4].dbname.schema.tablename
({column list})
Select
 {column list}
from tablename
WHERE col1 =  '7/20/2006'
  AND col2 in (2,5,7,12,32,54,45,33)

Any thoughts?

Create Temp Table On Linked Server From Local Server

Jan 15, 2004

Hi,

I would like to join two tables: one on a local server which I have admin access to and another server which I only have read access. The local table is very small, but the remote table is very large.

If I look at Query Analyzer's execution plan, it appears that the join will be done locally (i.e. the entire table is transferred from the remote server and then joined to my local table). Is there a way to create a temp table using linked servers, transfer my small local table to the remote server and then perform the join on the remote server? In the past, I have been able to use openquery to restrict the data to a small subset that is transferred but the local table is a little too large for that.

I appreciate any advice / guidance anyone can offer me!

SQL Server 2012 :: How To Insert Data Into Table From Linked Server

Nov 19, 2013

I wonder if it possible to move data from tables on a linked server to a "normal database"?

Name linked server: Covas
Name table on linked server: tblCountries
Name field: cntCountryName

Name "normal" database: CovasCopy
Name "normal" table: Countries (or dbo.Countries)
Name "normal" field: Country

This is just a test setup. I figure that if I get this working the rest will be easier.

My current query:
select * from openquery(COVAS,'
INSERT INTO CovasCopy.dbo.Countries(Country)
SELECT cntCountryName FROM db_covas.tblCountries;')

Copying Table From Local To Linked Server

Feb 17, 2004

Hi,

I'm trying to copy all the data from a single table across to a remote linked server and I'm having all sorts of problems.

The SQL query I'm attampting is this:-


Code:


EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'GODZILLA', N'SQL Server'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'GODZILLA', 'False', 'rmtUser', 'lclUser', 'password'
Go

--DELETE TABLE
DROP TABLE GODZILLA.Racing.dbo.horse

--SELECT INTO
SELECT horse_id, horse_filename, horse_time, horse_new, horse_driveLetter
INTO GODZILLA.Racing.dbo.horse

FROM Racing.dbo.horse

EXEC sp_droplinkedsrvlogin 'GODZILLA', 'lclUser'
EXEC sp_dropserver 'GODZILLA'




Basically - this doesn't work as an error is returned:-


Code:


The object name 'GODZILLA.Racing.dbo.' contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 2.



Now - it has no problem running a SELECT (ie read-only) query from the remote DB but why does it have a problem with writing? And if thats the issue, why doesn't it say so. Am I going about this the right way???

Please help!

SQL Server Linked Table To Dbase III Files

Feb 2, 2005

Hi,

I am trying to use linked tables to connect SQL Server 2000 to a legacy system using dbase III files. (I need real time read only access to these files)

I have created a linked table from SQL server to a folder on the C drive which contains the dbase III files, using an ODBC DSN which uses "Microsoft dbase driver (*.dbf)". DSN tested successfully using Excel. Linked server connection is then created using "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers".

The dbase tables appear OK in Enterprise manager, but I cannot get a query to work in SQL Anayzer, using the 4-part name syntax.

My query is just :
SELECT * FROM LinkedTable...customers

Error message is "Invalid schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'". Now I am pretty sure dbase files do not support any sort of schema / catalog set up, so I suspect SQL Server is looking for something it is not going to get.

One clue might be that in Enterprise manager, under the catalog column, I get the pathname to the dbase file, ie c:customers.dbf, which I cannot enter in the 4-part syntax.

Any suggestion welcome !!!

How Can I Create A Temp Table On A Linked Server?

Apr 11, 2007

Hello

I have a local SQL2005 server with a linked SQL2000 server. I would like to know how to create a temporary table in the remote server in such a way that I can make an inner join as follows; my idea is to optimized a distributed query by doing so:

create table #myRemoteTempTable

insert into #myRemoteTempTable
select * from myLocalTable

update myRemoteTable
set
Value=#myRemoteTempTable.Value
from myRemoteTable
inner join #myRemoteTempTable on #myRemoteTempTable.ID=myRemoteTable.ID

Linked Server Not Displaying Table Details

I have created a linked server using my local SQL2005. The linked server can be seen as a linked server, but the database can not been expanded to see the tables, stored procedures, views, and other details regarding the linked server. The only method that I have found that will allow me to see all the details is to use XP's Remote Desktop Connection to access the database.
