When I try to execute the below query it shown an error
Select * from [Domain].[Database Name].dbo.tblUser
Error:
Could not find server 'Domain' in sys.servers. Verify that the correct server name was specified. If necessary, execute the stored procedure sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sys.servers.
Like the error says, if you wish to connect from one SQL Server to another, you need to add the other server as a linked server.
See the definition for sp_addlinkedserver for how to do this.

I would like to insert data from prod server to dev server for a particular table.
I am using insert into SQL query and fully qualified name. That is I am specifying server name, databsename, schema name and table name.
insert into ServerADev.[ING_DB].dbo.[Table1]
select *
from ServerAProd.[ING_DB].dbo.[Table1]
where ID = '08914'
ID is the column in Table1.
For above query I am getting an error:
Cannot find ServerAProd in sys.servers. Verify that the correct server name was specified. If necessary, execute the stored procedure sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sys.servers.
When I EXEC sp_addlinkedserver #server='ServerAProd', I am getting:
User does not have permission to perform this action.
Do I need to make a request to DBA (database admin) to grant permission to perform this query?
You need to set up a linked server to query a foreign server.
So, either:
ServerAProd is not what you named the linked server
or
You didn't create a linked server yet. You can use the sp_addlinkedserver from the error message, or browse to "server objects" in the object explorer then right-click -> new on "Linked Servers". See the link above for more details.
For your edit... yes this requires permissions:
When using Transact-SQL statements, requires ALTER ANY LINKED SERVER permission on the server or membership in the setupadmin fixed server role. When using Management Studio requires CONTROL SERVER permission or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role.
1. create linked server for the dev server on production server,
2. use this openquery() to insert data, so that you can insert large data very quickly.
INSERT OPENQUERY (devservername, 'SELECT * FROM devservar_database..dev_server_table_name')
select * from production_table_database_name..production_table_table_name
Besides from Import and Export Wizard, Is there any query to transfer a table from a server to another server in SQL Server 2008?
SELECT * INTO [Server1].[db_name].[dbo].[table_name]
FROM [Server2].[db_name].[dbo].[table_name]
There are several options. If you have the correct permissions, you can create a Linked Server following instructions here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff772782.aspx
and then use OPENQUERY (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188427.aspx) to select the records:
SELECT * INTO new_db.new_schema.new_table
FROM OPENQUERY(linked_server_name, 'select * from old_db.old_schema.old_table');
Or you can do something similar with OPENROWSET (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190312.aspx) if you don't want to go through setting up the linked server:
SELECT * INTO new_db.new_schema.new_table
FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=OldServer;Trusted_Connection=yes;',
'select * from old_db.old_schema.old_table');
Both may require some tweaking based on the authentication method you're using, usernames, privileges, and all that.
Assuming you can log into Server1, and have a linked server setup for Server2, another option is OPENQUERY.
SELECT *
INTO [db_name].[dbo].[table_name]
FROM OPENQUERY([Server2], 'select * from [db_name].[dbo].[table_name]')
Keep in mind, this will not copy indexes/statistics. Those would need to be scripted and re-created.
If you need to keep them in sync, then I would look into SQL Replication.
You can define a linked server to server2 inside server1, then run the query in server1:
SELECT * INTO [db_name].[dbo].[table_name]
FROM [Server2].[db_name].[dbo].[table_name]
More about linked servers:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188279.aspx
Assuming both server1 and server2 are sql server then You do not need a openquery. Create a linked server on server1 for server2 and write query
select * into server1.schema.table_name
from server2.schema.table_name
I have a table named 'Application' on linked server (hosting server) in schema 'ID'.
I am trying to view the details of same using sp_help.
But I'm not able to do it.
The problem is:
1. sp_help is in schema dbo. (It is obvious!)
2. But my table in another schema named ID. (e.g. select * from ID.Application)
I've added linked server to my local sql server management studio.
And tried:
exec [198.198.198.198].[sms].[dbo].sp_help applicantion
exec [198.198.198.198].[sms].[dbo].sp_help id.applicantion
exec [198.198.198.198].[sms].[dbo].sp_help sms.id.applicantion
'sms' is my database on linked server.
Results: syntax error.
I tried: SQL using sp_HelpText to view a stored procedure on a linked server
But my problem is 2 different schema.
Any suggestions??
Does this work?
exec [198.198.198.198].[sms].[dbo].sp_help 'id.applicantion'
I am using SQL Server 2008 R2.
I am getting the following error when I try to execute a SP from java side. The same SP is running well when I use query browser to run.
I have tried using hot fix also but it is not working.
ERROR :: The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "server name" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
when executed in transaction
Inside SQL Server Management Studio, expand Server Objects, then Linked Server, then right click on the linked server in question and choose 'Properties.' Select the 'Server Options' page, and make sure 'Enable Promotion of Distributed Transactions' is set to 'False'
Or you can do it with T-SQL:
USE master;
EXEC sp_serveroption '<<your linked server name>>', 'remote proc transaction promotion', 'false';
Given the remote server 'Production' (currently accessible via an IP) and the local database 'Development', how can I run an INSERT into 'Development' from 'Production' using T-SQL?
I'm using MS SQL 2005 and the table structures are a lot different between the two databases hence the need for me to manually write some migration scripts.
UPDATE:
T-SQL really isn't my bag. I've tried the following (not knowing what I'm doing):
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
#server = N'20.0.0.1\SQLEXPRESS',
#srvproduct=N'SQL Server' ;
GO
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin '20.0.0.1\SQLEXPRESS', 'false',
'Domain\Administrator', 'sa', 'saPassword'
SELECT * FROM [20.0.0.1\SQLEXPRESS].[DatabaseName].[dbo].[Table]
And I get the error:
Login failed for user ''. The user is
not associated with a trusted SQL
Server connection.
create a linked server and then use 4 part notation
insert table
select <column names>
from LinkedserverName.DatabaseName.SchemaName.TableName
you can also use OPENROWSET
example
insert table
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=Seattle1;Trusted_Connection=yes;',
'SELECT GroupName, Name, DepartmentID
FROM AdventureWorks2008R2.HumanResources.Department
ORDER BY GroupName, Name') AS a;
try this to create the login
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin #rmtsrvname=N'20.0.0.1\SQLEXPRESS',
#useself=N'False',
#locallogin=NULL,
#rmtuser=N'sa',
#rmtpassword='saPassword'
You can define the PROD Server as Linked Server to the DEV box and then access it.
However I think it would be easier to get a backup from PROD Box and Restore it to DEV or use SSIS for Schema Import.
Look into the RedGate tools, esp. SQL Data Compare. If that's not an option you should look at OPENDATASOURCE or OPENROWSET to access the remote database.
Well you can use a linked server and then use the 4 part names for objects (See BOL for how to set up a linked server)
Or you could use SSIS to set up the data migrations and connect to the remote server
Or you could use OPENROWSET
I'd probably use SSIS, but I'm already familiar with it.
Use SSMS. Right click on the target DB and select "Tasks", "Import Data". You will be able to preview the data and make conversions visually. Save the package in SSIS or run it now.
