I am trying to call an RPC from SQL2KSP3 to Sybase ASE 12.5. SQL2K is on an IBM Intel Server running Win2KSP4, ASE is on an IBM RS6000 w/ AIX 5.2.
I have the ASE server set up as a linked server in SQL 2000, and doing queries is working fine, i.e. I can SELECT * FROM asesrvr.testdb.dbo.tablename and get back all the data in tablename from the testdb database on the ASE server asesrvr.
However, when I try to run an RPC using the same syntax, I get a generic 7212 error (Could not execute procedure 'procname' on remote server 'asesrvr'. I am calling the rpc with DECLARE @output char(1) EXEC asesrvr.testdb.dbo.procname @output output
I'm using Sybase's ASE OLEDB provider; on the Linked Server Properties, I have
General Tab Product name: asesrvr Data source: devprod Provider string: <empty> Location: greyed out Catalog: <empty>
Security Tab One local login, sa, which has impersonate checked as the sa passwords on the two servers are the same (I want to eliminate security as an issue while I try to get this working).
Server Options Tab Collation Compatible: checked Data Access: checked RPC: checked RPC Out: checked Use Remote Collation: unchecked Collation Name: <empty> Connection Timeout: 0 Query Timeout: 0
SQL2K's @@version is Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86) Dec 17 2002 14:22:05 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 4)
Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this further? It does not appear to be limited to this one procedure (this one only has one output parameter and one line of code, so it's about as simple as it can get for testing purposes). Again, queries work fine, so the linked server itself is connected and working, at least for queries.
How can I call UDFs on linked servers in SQL Server 2005?
More details:
I have some UDFs on Instance "VAXPServerA" in Database "DB1", for example "getSomething(number)".
It might look like this (for example):
---- CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[getSomething] ( @theNumber int ) RETURNS int AS BEGIN DECLARE @result int SET @result = theNumber * 5 RETURN @result END ----
I can call this function inside of the DB by typing:
---- SELECT dbo.getSomething(5) ----
I also can call the function from another DB on instance "VAXPServerA" by typing:
---- SELECT DB1.dbo.getSomething(5) ----
I have a second instance called "VAXPServerB", and "VAXPServerA" is a linked server in "VAXPServerB". I can do selects and stuff, it works fine. But when I want to call the function...
The linked server was not created When I executed the query. However, I was able to create the linked server when I executed this query(batch 2) alone. Is there any limitation of SP which I am not aware of?
I was wondering if anyone knows the best way to call a function that is located in database on a different server then the database that is calling the function. Is it possible to do this with out linked servers? I am running SQL Server 2000. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Hello all SQL Server 7 gurus, I need your help!!! I can use SELECT to query a table on the remote server but I can't use UPDATE,DELETE OR INSERT. Please tell me how to get around this problem. Thanks in advance.
PS. The remote server is added by using sp_addlinkedserver
I need to be able to query remote server tables and join them to local tables. Thought that linked server would be best so that I can use local stored procs for parameters if needed. I have no administrative control over remote server. I have been given select permissions only to one db on remote server. Both servers are sql2000, local machine has spk3.
I have established the remote server in network client utility. I can register the remote server in EM, look at tables. I can run select statements against the remote server in QA when I log in and specify that server. I can reference an odbc data connection with web pages and display rowsets.
Next, I created a linked server under security, using sql (since it's an sql 2000 db) with the same name used above in the client utility and the em. I created a local login with the same name and password as the login used successfully above (Paragraph 2). On the security tab, I've used sa as the local login and entered the remote user and password, using the default 'be made without using a security context'. When I try to view the tables (which I can do through registered) or run this through QA: SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(CASCE, 'SELECT person_pk, lastname FROM dbName.dbo.tblName (NOLOCK)'),
I get: sql error 17: sql server does not exist or access denied
If I edit security, wipe out the top settings and specify the security context below using the login information, same thing. Tried messing around with different security contexts, no help or ole db error.
Any help? In addition, any tutorials out there a little more user friendly than the bol? I think I want to use the linked server option and stored procs.
I have created a linked server (to an AS/400) via MSDASQL. It works fine when I execute queries locally (i.e. from Management Studio running on the SQL 2005 server).
However, when I execute a query from a remote machine I get an error (see below for the exact message).
I know the ODBC connection is between the SQL server and the AS/400, and that the remote client does not have connectivity to the AS/400. But shouldn't the SQL server be able to pass the query through to the linked server even if the query is initiated from a remote machine?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can resolve this problem so that queries against the linked server can be executed from remote machines?

The following T-SQL 2005 snippet executes a remote sproc on an Oracle database. DECLARE @OutParam VARCHAR(5) EXEC ('{Call getnextpin(1)}') AT ALTTEST GetNextPin takes a single input parameter. I need to modify the above code snippet to return the next PIN number into @OutParam. Any ideas? Any help appreciated.
Can someone please shed some light on what seems to me to be a common requirement.
If I create an alias or linked server to Server1 - say Alias1 - on Server1 and then use that name in a query on Server1, a remote/distributed query is always used (even though we are running on the local server and that overhead is completely unnecessary).
Is SQL Server really not capable of deciding that select * from Alias1.db1.dbo.table1 and select * from Server1.db1.dbo.table1 should be optimized and executed exactly the same when Alias1 is Server1, but that it is a distributed query ONLY when Alias1 is really referring to a remote server? I realize that the four part name is not necessary when I am referring to objects on the current server, but I am trying to write code that is server instance independent.
It just seems that if that is not possible, then the only way to create system independent stored procs that can run in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers is to create all sorts of scripts to regenerate all the procs whenever you move a database between servers?
If SQL Server is even close to the enterprise big iron server that MS now claims it is, it surely needs to support running in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers?!
I'm really looking for someone to tell me I'm missing something simple, and of course you can do this - but complex workarounds are invited too :-) This is not something I am investigating as an academic exercise, I am already doing this, but I have to figure out how to do it better because with all these unnecessary distributed queries, performance is horrible.
I have 2 servers: #1 -- SQL 2005 SP1 publisher ; #2 -- SQL 2005 SP2 subscriber
originally I had #1 as pub and dist but dist but killing my CPU so I was in the process of moving the dist to #2... Got it all configured and when I tried to add #2 as a dist for #1 it fails when I get to the administrative password screen... It give me an error about how it cannot connect with the given password but under that is says linked server failed.
Since it mentioned linked server I tried to connect via the previous linked server to #2 and it failed... I cannot connect to #2 anymore from #1. I can login directly to #2 and I can use osql to connect to #2 but linked server does not work. I tried all drivers and many configurations...
I have a database that is off site, it has a database one it that I have a Linked server connection to. We have no other means of connecting to that server database except via that linked server connection. Is there a way I can Copy eplicatemoves etc... that database to an internal server with out doing it table by table. It is apx 80gig db
Copying a backup file is not an option either, and Mailing it on media make it a significant delay.

UPDATE CD SET col1=SR.col1,col2=SR.col2,col3=SR.col3,col4=SR.col4,col5=SR.col5,col6=SR.col6,col7=SR.col7,

FROM LNKSQL1.db1.DBO.Table1 CD

join table3 SR on USRI.col00 = SR.col00
Here, I'm trying to tun this from an instance and do a remote update. col00 is a primary key and there is a clustered index that exists on this column. When I run this query, it does a 'select * from tabl1' on the remote server and that table has about 60 million rows. I don't understand why it would do a select *... Also, we migrated to SQL 2005 a week or so back but before that everything was running smooth. I dont have the execution plan from before but this statement was fast. Right now, I can't run this statement at all. It takes about 37 secs to do one update. But if I did the update on a local server doing remote joins here, it would work fine. When I tried to show the execution plan, it took about 10 mins to show up an estimated plan and 99% of the time was spent on Remote scan. Please let me know what I can do to improve my situation. Thank you
In an ASP, I have a dynamically created SQL statement that amounts to "SELECT * FROM Server1.myDB.dbo.myTable WHERE Col1 = 1" (Col1 is the table's primary key). It returns the data immediately when executed.
However, when the same record is updated with "UPDATE Server1.myDB.dbo.myTable SET Comments = 'blah blah blah' WHERE Col1 = 1", the page times out before the query can complete.
I watched the program in Profiler, and I saw on the update that sp_cursorfetch was being executed as an RPC once per each row in the table. In a table of 78000 records, the timeout occurs well before the last record is fetched, and the update bombs.
I can run the same statements in Query Analyzer from a linked server and have the same results. The execution plan shows that a Remote Query is occurring on the select that returns 1 row, and a Remote Scan is taking place on the update scanning 78000 rows (I guess this is where all the sp_cursorfetch calls are happening...?).
How can I prevent the Remote Scan? How can I prevent the execution of the RPC sp_cursorfetch for each row in the remote table?
i have a function Create Function ReturnAmountB(@CMID int) Returns Decimal as BEGIN declare @Return decimal select @Return =sum(PD_PaymentAmount) from Payment_Details where PD_IsRefund=1 and PD_PaymentType=0 and PD_CMID=@CMID return @Return END
when i run this on server(remote) this error shows... Incorrect syntex near 'Function' Must declare the variable '@CMID' A RETURN statement with a return value cannot be used in this context
i am not able to understand why this error shows... Any solution!!!
Could anyone shed some light on the syntax of accessing system function on a linked server?I'm trying to get the recovery models of databases on a linked. However using databasepropertyex locally generates wrong results.e.g. select databasepropertyex(name, 'recovery') RecoveryModel from [server/databasename].master.dbo.SysDatabases I tried select [server/databasename].databasepropertyex(name, 'recovery') RecoveryModel from [server/databasename].master.dbo.SysDatabases which does not work. Thanks.
To get the data through to SQL Server 2005 in a useable format i need to use the progress PRO_ELEMENT function call. How do I delimit this so it gets passed to the progress DB.
I've tried
SELECT
{fn PRO_ELEMENT(fldarr1,1,1)} as fld1
from ls1..pub.tab
This just returns an unknown function message which I believe is on the SQL Server end of the call.
This statement works fine through Business Objects.
Hi, have configured an ODBC linked server for an Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA6.0) database. I have to write a function (not a procedure) that receives a number (@Code) and returns 1 if it was found on a table in the linked server, or 0 if not. Looks very simple... One problem, is that the queries on a linked-server must be made through the OPENQUERY statement, which doesen't support dynamic parameters. I've solved this making the whole query a string, and executing it, something like this:
SET @SQL='SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(CAT_ASA, ''SELECT code FROM countries WHERE code=' + @Code + ''')' EXEC sp_executesql @SQL
(CAT_ASA is the linked-server's name)
Then, i would use @@ROWCOUNT to determine if the code exists or not. But before this, a problem appears: sp_executesql is not allowed within a function (only extended procedures are allowed). Does somebody know how to make what i want?? I prefer to avoid using temporary tables. Thanks!
I'm documenting various server configurations such as linked and remote servers. Rather then clicking on each linked and remote server to view their properties I am trying to query sysservers. According to BOL, the column isremote is 1 if server is a remote server, else 0 if server is a linked server. When I query sysservers I see just the opposite. Is BOL wrong or am I missing something? Through Enterprise Manager I see 3 remote servers and 13 linked servers. syssservers shows 3 servers with isremote = 0 and 13 servers with isremote = 1.
Also, I understand remote servers are provided for backward compatibility. If that is the case, why is the default instance listed under remote server and not linked server. Also, why does replication list repl_distribution under remote server and in some cases the subscriber server is also listed under remote servers.
I need to know if there's any way to call a VB function from within an SQl statement. We have text in Rich Text format in a database and need it converted to regular text before we are able to perform searches on the data. Maybe I can use a stored procedure to accomplish this conversion or to call a function that would do this? Any help would be appreciated.
Does anyone know if you can call an Access function from DTS? I'm trying to delete data from an Access database, Compact the database, and load new data. My snag is calling a function in Access to compact the database.
