Linked Server In SQL Server Express?

Yes you can. Setup the LinkServer on the SQL Express then just pass your query in the four part name format server . Database .

Schema . Object example select * from LinkServer.mydatabase.dbo.Table.

Configure a linked server to enable the SQL Server Database Engine to execute commands against OLE DB data sources outside of the instance of SQL Server. Typically linked servers are configured to enable the Database Engine to execute a Transact-SQL statement that includes tables in another instance of SQL Server, or another database product such as Oracle. Many types OLE DB data sources can be configured as linked servers, including Microsoft Access and Excel.

The ability to access data from outside of SQL Server. The ability to issue distributed queries, updates, commands, and transactions on heterogeneous data sources across the enterprise. The ability to address diverse data sources similarly.

You can configure a linked server by using SQL Server Management Studio or by using the sp_addlinkedserver (Transact-SQL) statement. OLE DB providers vary greatly in the type and number of parameters required. For example some providers require you to provide a security context for the connection using sp_addlinkedsrvlogin (Transact-SQL).

Some OLE DB providers allow SQL Server to update data on the OLE DB source. Others provide only read-only data access. For information about each OLE DB provider, consult documentation for that OLE DB provider.

You can use this sp to do it EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = 'MylinkedServer', @useself = 'FALSE', @locallogin = NULL, @rmtuser = 'me', @rmtpassword = 'myrmtpassword.

You can use this sp to do it. EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = 'MylinkedServer', @useself = 'FALSE', @locallogin = NULL, @rmtuser = 'me', @rmtpassword = 'myrmtpassword.

I have tried this. I get the following error: OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "MyServerName" returned message "Communication link failure". Msg 10054, Level 16, State 1, Line 0 TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 0 Login failed for user 'Me'. – Billy Logan Oct 21 '09 at 20:58 This approached worked for me after I changed to the proper user. Thank you very much.

You could try using the sp_addlinkedserver stored procedure: blogs.techrepublic.com.com/datacenter/?p... Sql server Express supports linked servers.

Can you please explain how to setup a linked server between a SQL Server (A) and a SQL Server Express (B) scenario. Server A is SQL Server 2000, whereas Server B is SQL Server 2005 Express. I have set these up in the past, but none where connected to a SQL Server Express version.

If your linked server allows it, then you can run sp_executesql remotely and by that means you can do absolutely anything on the linked server. Eg. Create a database: exec .master.sys.

Sp_execute_sql N'create database foo.

See: MSDN: Linking Servers You basically need to call the sp_addlinkedserver stored proc: sp_addlinkedserver @server= 'server' , @srvproduct= 'product_name' , @provider= 'provider_name' , @datasrc= 'data_source' , @location= 'location' , @provstr= 'provider_string' , @catalog= 'catalog' Something like: EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server='S1_instance1', @srvproduct='', @provider='SQLNCLI', @datasrc='S1\instance1' For details, see the MSDN docs - it's really pretty good!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
