I am using a SQL database residing on my local computer. I want to access a table from a database residing on another computer using SQL query.
I have been able to connect the remote database with my database and all its tables are shown in Enterprise manager on my local machine. I have added remote SQL Server in my local SQL Server.
When I use select statement in my local SQL server it gives the message database does not exist or access denied.
Any help in this would highly be appreciated.
EDITED
Select * from [ServerName].DatabaseName.dbo.tableName
Use OPENROWSET
Example
SELECT t.version FROM
OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'server=Myserver;UID=xxxx;pwd=yyyy',
'select ##version version') t
Note:
SQLNCLI is the name of installed OLE DB provider
Datasource: {server=Myserver;UID=xxx;pwd=yyy}
You have to enable OPENROWSET by executing the following script:
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
reconfigure
go
sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1
reconfigure
OPENROWSET is like connecting to a linked server

I've set up a linked server between an instance on SQL 2012 and SQL 2008R2 but
I keep getting the below error when trying to execute a stored procedure on a remote server:
Msg 7201, Level 17, State 4, Line 1
Could not execute procedure on remote server 'TEST' because SQL Server is not configured for remote access. Ask your system administrator to reconfigure SQL Server to allow remote access.
I've checked on both servers and they're configured to allow remote connections. The login that I've used has sysadmin access on the remote server and I can see all the databases when I expand 'Catalogs' within the linked server. When I test the connection this also says it's connected successfully. The SQL Service account also has SA on both instances for what it's worth
The odd thing is when I run a simple select query on one of the tables within the database it shows a result but it doesn't seem to like the SP.
Select * from Linkserver.database.dbo.table
The above works fine but this SP doesn't:
EXECUTE Linkedserver.database.[dbo].[SP] ....
Any recommendation would be appreciated.
Despite being an old thread, forget about enabling remote access (and restart service) on remote server and try:
EXECUTE (N'database.[dbo].[SP]') AT Linkedserver
If you want to run SPs from Server B, then make Server B as the linked server in server A.
Run the script below in Server A, not B:
EXEC sp_configure 'remote access', 1; RECONFIGURE;
Then restart SQL Service in A.
Done.
Please first check your server properties if remote connections is allowed (related picture below). IF yes, use: exec nameofyourSP 'remote access', 1 reconfigure and try again.
First Run:
EXEC sp_configure 'remote access', '1';
RECONFIGURE;
You now need to restart MSSQLSERVER in order for the sp_configure command to take effect.
Once you restart it, run sp_configure again and notice that the run_value is 1 now. That's what you want.
I am new to SQL, so please forgive my ignorance. I downloaded the free version of SQL Server Express Edition 2014 and have a 32 bit machine. I'm using Microsoft SQL Server Mgmt Studio. I am trying to setup a process to either link to or import 50 Access tables that are in 50 individual Microsoft Access 2013 databases (updated weekly) into SQL. I currently do this in an Access 2013 db but I am trying to replace the process. I downloaded the free version of SQL Server Express Edition 2014 and have a 32 bit machine. I'm using Microsoft SQL Server Mgmt Studio on my PC. Below is the code I put together. however, this is the result in the message window:
Configuration option 'show advanced options' changed from 1 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.
Configuration option 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' changed from 1 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.
Msg 7403, Level 16, State 1, Line 8
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.12.0" has not been registered.
I am a newbie so I would greatly appreciate no assumptions in knowledge. Thank you.
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE;
GO
sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE;
GO
INSERT INTO TEST2.dbo.MyTest
SELECT * FROM OPENDATASOURCE(
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.12.0',
'Data Source="D:\data\EXCEPT2.accdb"')...Testtbl;
GO
Turns out I had to run the below code to get the sql to work. I also had changed 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.12.0', to 'Microsoft.Jet.ACE.12.0',
USE [master]
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'AllowInProcess', 1

GO
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
RECONFIGURE
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'ad hoc distributed queries', 1
RECONFIGURE

The SQL Server Error Message if a user have no rights for SQL Server TEMP directory:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)"

Grant rigths to TEMP directory
(i.) This step is required only for 32-bit SQL Server with any OLE DB provider
The main problem is that an OLE DB provider creates a temporary file during the query in the SQL Server temp directory using credentials of a user who run the query.
The default directory for SQL Server is a default directory for SQL Server service account.
If SQL Server is run under Network Service account the temp directory is like:
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\Temp
If SQL Server is run under Local Service account the temp directory is like:
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Temp
Microsoft recommends two ways for the solution:
A change of SQL Server TEMP directory and a grant of full rights for all users to this directory.
Grant of read/write rights to the current SQL Server TEMP directory.
See details: PRB: "Unspecified error" Error 7399 Using OPENROWSET Against Jet Database
Usually only few accounts are used for import operations. So we can just add rights for these accounts.
For example, icacls utility can be used for the rights setup:
icacls C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\Temp /grant vs:(R,W)
For more information follow this Link
Try these settings
Open SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Select the SQL Server Services folder in the left pane.
Right-click the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service in the right pane.
Click Properties.
Click the Advanced tab in the properties dialog that pops up.
Add “-g512;” to the front of the value for parameter “Startup Parameters”.
Click OK.
I'm trying to working with Openrowset on SQL Server 2008 R2 installed in Windows 2008 64 bit machine.When I execute the below query, i got an error like below.Please help me out.
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=E:\01112012.xls;','SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')
ERROR:
Msg 7403, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" has not been registered.
Have you installed: ->Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable
This download will install a set of components that facilitate the transfer of data between existing Microsoft Office files such as Microsoft Office Access 2010 (*.mdb and .accdb) files and Microsoft Office Excel 2010 (.xls, *.xlsx, and *.xlsb) files to other data sources such as Microsoft SQL Server. Connectivity to existing text files is also supported. ODBC and OLEDB drivers are installed for application developers to use in developing their applications with connectivity to Office file formats.
To run OPENROWSET in 64 bit version of windows.
1- Install AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe (Restart is required).
2- If you are using SQL Management Studio, run Management Studio as administrator. If you don’t run it as an administrator account you will have this error (Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MICROSOFT.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)".
3- Run this command to configure your Database
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE with override;
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
RECONFIGURE with override;
GO
EXEC master . dbo. sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' , N'AllowInProcess' , 1
GO
EXEC master . dbo. sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' , N'DynamicParameters' , 1
GO
4- Don’t use ‘select * from sheet1$’ in OPENROWSET function. Try this code.
select * from OPENROWSET('MICROSOFT.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;DATABASE=D:\test.xlsx', sheet1$)
If still you have (32 bit) error, try to restart your SQL service and check your C:\Windows\Temp and see do you have access to this directory or not.
I'm running a SQL Server 2005 database from a VB 6 Application. I connect to the database
through an ODBC DSN.
I renamed the computer on which I'm running the default instance of SQL server from 'Software' to 'IT'. I then ran the sp_dropserver and sp_addserver stored procedures to rename the instance.
On restarting the SQL Server service, the server was able to pick up on the new SQL Server name.
After configuring the ODBC data source name to the new name, the connection was Ok. I'm able to run my application and read records through ADO record sets. However I'm unable to update any recordset using the .Update method. I get the following error instead ... SQL Server not configured for data access
How can I enable data access on the renamed server instance?
How to: Rename a Computer that Hosts a Stand-Alone Instance of SQL Server 2005
You should be able to run this but not against any linked server. It's not a linked server. It's local.
EXEC sp_serveroption 'YourServer', 'DATA ACCESS', TRUE
Just go to the linked server properties > Server options > Data access --> true
Works on SQL Server 2014.
Regards
I just would like to add to the previous answers that, at least in my case here, I needed to enable data access in both places.
for instance:
there is server A and server B
On server A
I have a linked server LB that links me from server A to server B
I need to execute the following:
-- on server A
exec sp_serveroption 'LB', 'data access', 'true'
-- on server B
exec sp_serveroption 'B', 'data access', 'true'
with this
use master
go
exec sp_serveroption 'server name', 'data access', 'true'
go
linked servers generated for replication still showing same error
I've just come across this error and found that it was caused by me trying to run OpenQuery against the local server (doh!). Changing the server name to that of an actual linked server resolved my issue.
