Have trouble query after creating a linked server from SQL Server 2008 to EXCEL 2007

I created a linked server from SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express to an EXCEL 2007 workbook using:
sp_addlinkedserver @server='LSERVER_EX0', @srvproduct='EXCELDATA', @provider='Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', @datasrc='C:\Temp\abc.xlsx', @provstr='EXCEL 12.0'
The linked server LSERVER_EX0 was created, but I cannot see any table(excel sheet), and when i ran the following to query tables,
sp_tables_ex 'LSERVER_EX0'
I got:Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES" for OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "LSERVER_EX0". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
Any hint why?
on another note, i was able to import the EXCEL sheets using the Import and Export Data wizard, but i cannot control the column data type and size in this way.

Open management studio, goto "Server Objects"->"Linked Servers"->Providers, select the provider you use, right click it and in provider options, check "Allow inprocess".

  • How to create a Linked Server from SQL Server 2012 to Postgresql

    Hi, I am working on a third party application which is using Postgresql version 9 database and I am trying create a linked server in SQL Server 2012 using the below stored procedure.
    EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'LINKEDSERVERPOSTGRES', @srvproduct=N'PostgreSQL',
    @provider=N'MSDASQL', @provstr=N'Driver=PostgreSQL;uid=pguser;Server=pghost;database=pgdatabase;pwd=somepassword'
    Error: Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server.
    I have no clue if a jdbc provider exists in SQL Server to connect to Postgresql or what the right provider is? Could you please let me know if there's a workaround to achieve this.
    Thanks in advance............

  • How could I create a "Linked Server" link from SQL Server 2008R2 64-Bit to Oracle Database 11.2 64-Bit?

    How could I create a "Linked Server" link from SQL Server 2008R2 64-Bit to Oracle Database 11.2 64-Bit?
    Let's say the SQL Server and Oracle Database are in the same Company Internet Network.
    I have the code, but I do not know how to use it. Such as what is System DSN Name? Where could I get it. What does it look like?
    Do I need to install any Oracle Client Software in order to link from SQL Server to Oracle? Or SQL Server has the built-in drivers installed already that I can directly create a Linked Server from SQL Server to Oracle?
    I need to know details. Thanks.
    USE master
    go
    EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
         @server  = '{Linked Server Name}'
        ,@srvproduct = '{System DSN Name}'
        ,@provider  = 'MSDASQL'
        ,@datasrc  = '{System DSN Name}'
    EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
         @rmtsrvname = '{Linked Server Name}'

        ,@rmtuser  = '{Oracle User Name}'
        ,@rmtpassword = '{Oracle User Password}'

    You need an OLE DB provider for Oracle. There is one that ships with Windows, but it only supports very old versions of Oracle. Oracle has an OLE DB provider that you can use. I don't know if it's part of Oracle Client or how it is bundled.
    You should not use MSDASQL or any DSN.

  • Linked Server from SQL 2008 to Connect to 2012 read only replica never works

    I have two Production Database Servers
    1. SQLServer2008 (2 Nodes Cluster)
    2. SQLServer2012 with 2 read only replica (3 Nodes Cluster)
    I would like to draw a line here, We have routing table and URL working perfectly fine. 
    We have tested LINKED Server from 2012 Box to production Server by Specifying APPLICATIONINTENT = ReadOnly; it works perfectly fine, the routing is being used.
    When we create linked server from SQL Server 2008 Box (Please note we have installed SQL Server 2012 Client tools on this box and Restarted the Servers) using the below script
    USE [master]
    EXEC master.dbo.sp_dropserver @server=N'AGL1', @droplogins='droplogins'
    GO
    EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'AGL1'
    ,@datasrc='AGL1'
    ,@provider='SQLNCLI11'
    ,@provstr='ApplicationIntent=ReadOnly;Database=AdventureWorks2012'
    Linked Server is created, Now when I run the Query 
    exec ('select @@servername') at AGL1
    It always brings the Primary READ/WRITE node name only, after lots of research I found that, this linked Server is always using SQL Native Client 10.0 only, even after creating Linked Server using SNC 11, That is the reason it is not going to routing
    table. Its always connecting to Primary node.
    Below is the way I found it, on 2012 Production Server I executed below Query
    SELECT session_id, protocol_type, driver_version = 
    CASE SUBSTRING(CAST(protocol_version AS BINARY(4)), 1,1)
    WHEN 0x70 THEN 'SQL Server 7.0'
    WHEN 0x71 THEN 'SQL Server 2000'
    WHEN 0x72 THEN 'SQL Server 2005'
    WHEN 0x73 THEN 'SQL Server 2008'
    ELSE 'SQL Server 2012' 
    END,client_net_address ,client_tcp_port,local_tcp_port ,T.text
    FROM sys.dm_exec_connections
    CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(most_recent_sql_handle) AS T
    The help is taken from msdn (Link Provided below) for the above Query
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd339982.aspx
    and I found it always uses SQL Server 2008 SNC.
    My Question is, is there a way to force SQL Server to use SQL Server Native Client 11.
    Has anyone tried this setup?
    Thank you in advance.

    Unfortunately no, there is no other way of forcing it without restart. The SQL Server stack has no idea of the existing Native Client as it booted prior its installation. And you cannot force "DLL reload" without proper service restart.

  • Oracle InstantClient with Linked Server in Sql Server 2005

    We are trying to connect ORACLE server from sql server 2005 using Linked Server Feature in SqlServer 2005

    I agree that Oracle Client software is used to connect oracle from SQL SERVER 2005.
    But my doubt is can we use Oracle InstantClient instead of Oracle Client software to connect oracle from SQL SERVER 2005
    with respect to Oracle Instant Client - I would like to know the development steps (Not the installation steps of Oracle Instant Client in windows machine) to connect ORACLE server.

  • Can I preserve carriage returns in a string variable from SQL Server?

    I have an OLE data source that pulls data from sql server via a SELECT query.  One of the fields is an NVARCHAR(max) which goes into a string variable which is later used in an expression.  I am noticing that in the expression, carriage returns
    / line breaks in this field are being lost.  Does anyone know how I can preserve these in the expression?

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions.  I am certain there are both \r and \n in the database as when I print the field and then copy/paste to textedit to show the hidden characters, I can see both the CR and LF's.  
    I have implemented a workaround that is by no means elegant, but it gets the job done.
    I found that \r and \n will evaluate in an expression but if they are part of another string variable, SSIS escapes them. My workaround was to change my OLE_DB select statement (which fetches the custom SQL query) to explicitly change the hidden characters
    to '\r' and '\n' respectively:
    SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE([CUSTOM_SQL],char(13),'\r'),char(10),'\n')
    Then, in my SSIS expression, I de-escaped these characters:
    REPLACE(REPLACE(@[User::vAlertCustomSQL],"\\r","\r"),"\\n","\n")
    Now when the expression is executed, the SQL is formatted correctly and oddly placed comments in the query no longer break the query.  

  • Unable to access table even after creating Database link

    Hi
    I have created a data base link.It was created properly.
    The Syantax that I have used is follows:
    create database link X_link connect to User1 identified by User1 using 'Other_Database'
    And on running the query:
    select count(*) from table1@X_link
    I am getting the error as follows:
    TNS could not resolve the connect identifier specified... TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
    Please tell me where is the problem?
    Thanks in Advance

    Your database link does not work because the entry you used does not exist in the tnsnames.ora in the database $ORACLE_HOME.
    Login to the database server, set the environment, and try to tnsping the entry you used for the database link, then fix the tnsnames.ora file (probably in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin)
    You can test a database link using :-
    select sysdate from dual@link;

    I guess its stuck, can you see some blocking or any other process blocking the rollback.
    can you check rollback status using below command. Or you can use sp_who2 and check status column
    select percent_complete,estimated_completion_time from sys.dm_exec_requests

  • Query Perofmance is much more fast in SQL server 2000 than Oracle 9i

    I have converted a database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle (9.0.2).

    Most sites have a job that runs every night to keep the statistics up to date.Really? I would be very surprised if that was the case. Firstly, many sites don't want to take the hit of running stats for a whole system each night. Secondly, I would hope that many DBAs know this statement...
    Always keep up to date statistics if you want your database to be efficent. ...is wrong.
    The best that can happen from refreshing the statistics every night is that it makes no difference to your application. If your application is running nicely - that is, no users are yelling at you - then your current statistics are good enough. Refreshing statistics introduces instability into the system and might lead to queries performing worse than before.
    Gathering stats is not the sort of thing you want to do with a scattergun. Analyze your database once, after you've reached what is a representative data volume and then leave it alone. Only refresh statistics if you have a specific issue (user complaint) and you think stale statistics might be the cause.

  • How to detect whether a database was created by Restoring (from SQL Server Enterprise Manager) or by Attaching (from SQL Server Enterprise Manager)

    Ours is a SQL Server Express Edition 2008-R2 - Windows Forms based application. We have a backup/restore utility provided with our software which performs some logical checks before restoring a backup to ensure that the backup is functionally valid.
    However, our clients often use the SQL Server Enterprise Manager utility to 1) Restore backups or 2) Attach data files (kept aside before formatting) directly. This type of action bypasses all our functional checks and allows the user to restore an invalid
    backup.
    We want to detect that a database was restored/attached and may be we will stop the software from loading if such a thing happened. We think that this information (attach/restore) should be available within some table of SQL Server itself but don't know the
    right location/query.
    If any change is required in our software to achieve the above, we are ready to do the same too, e.g. may be we need to store some data at some point of time to make the detection happen, please advise.
    So, how can we detect that
    A database backup was restored using SQL Server Management Utility
    (Note: MSDB.Restorehistory may not be a good option as we have often found this table blank for unknown reasons even after backup was restored and just in case user restores the MSDB from MSDB backup or MSDB template due to a data corruption, may be due to
    abnormal shutdown of system, then the RestoreHistory table data is gone)
    A database was created by attaching a data/log file using SQL Server Management Utility
    Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

  • Reading BLOB from SQL Server 2005 using DB Link from Oracle 10g

    Hi All,
    I am trying to read a table's data from SQL Server 2005 using ODBC DB Link created in Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3/4) database. I am not using oracle gateway.
    I am able read all data except for the BLOB data from SQL server 2005. It gives error given below when I try to execute query SELECT * from T_TRANSACTION_DATA@sdeslink inside a stored procedure:
    ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables
    Kindly help how to read BLOB from SQL server 2005 inside Oracle 10g.
    Best Regards!
    Irfan

    Irfan,
    If you can read the blob data using 10.2 HSODBC then there should be no problem using the 11g gateway.
    I recommend you download the latest version which is 11.2.0.3 available from My oracle Support as -
    Patch 10404530: 11.2.0.3.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER
    This is a full version and does not need a previous version to have bene installed. When installing it needs to be in a completlely separate ORACLE_HOME from the existing 11.2 install.
    For the Ora-22992 problem have a look at this note in My Oracle Support -
    Ora-22992 has a workaround in 10gR2 (Doc ID 436707.1)
    Regards,

  • DB LINK Oracle to SQL Server SQL Server TimeStamp converts to Oracle Date

    Hi All,
    I have created a DB link between Oracle 10g 10.2.0.5 to SQL server 2005 using Oracle 11g gateway. When I execute a query from Oracle that selects data from SQL server using the DBLINK then the column value of type Timestamp from SQL server gets converted to Date data type in Oracle and it losses the time value.
    Is there some way (in gateway configurations or in select query sql ) that the SQL server data type Timestamp gets converted to Oracle's Timestamp?
    Please help.
    Best Regards!
    Irfan
    Edited by: irf_mas on Mar 13, 2012 3:23 AM

    You're getting the ORA-2070 error as the gateway that you are using is not supporting the to_timestamp function in this context. You need to rewrite the code.
    Best would be if you first check out the data format that is sent as a string when you just select the date column - for example:
    data_create_dt
    Jan 11 2012 1:40PM
    Now the easiest way is to make sure the format you are using in your where clause matches the string from the SQL Server:
    select * from "data_ms_view"@FREETDS_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_11_2_0_3 where "data_create_dt"<'Jan 11 2012 1:41PM';
    which will result in:
    data_create_dt
    Jan 11 2012 1:40PM
    BTW,
    it works with all formats the SQL Server understands:
    SQL> select * from "data_ms_view"@FREETDS_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_11_2_0_3 where "data_create_dt">'11-JAN-12 01.40.00.000000000 AM';
    data_create_dt
    Jan 11 2012 1:40PM
    Another way using binds:
    SQL> variable datum varchar2(26);
    SQL> exec select to_char(systimestamp,'MON dd yyyy hh:mi') into :datum from dual;
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    SQL> print datum
    DATUM
    MAR 19 2012 08:29
    SQL> select * from "data_ms_view"@FREETDS_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_11_2_0_3 where "data_create_dt" <:datum;
    data_create_dt
    Jan 11 2012 1:40PM
    There are several ways to get a result, just make sure you don't use an unsupported function in your statement. A list of supported functions is found in the manual.

  • Linked clones , sysprep sql server , how does storage works

    Hi,
    I have created a sysprep install of SQL Server 2008 R2 . deployed linked clones from this templates.
    Everything works fine !!!
    I just want to know how the installatioon takes place. will the linked clones share the binaries and files from parent ?
    will there be any performance degration in future ?
    or all the SQL Server program files and installation files actually gets copied over ?
    What exactly happens ...
    Thanks

    The deployed linked clones of your SQL template contain only the difference in data between themselves and the original template.  Therefore when they are 1st deployed there is very little data attributable to them.  Once you've powered them on, and loaded some data in, the linked-clone's virtual disk files will contain, the difference between themselves and the base template, and will grow in size as they're used and data changes.
    So (overly simplifying things) the OS and SQL application will reside in the VM template, and the SQL data imported after clone/deployment will reside in the linked clone.  If you update the OS or SQL install (or make any otehr changes that will affect data stored on the VM's disks), these changes will occur in the linked-clone, but will still be dependant on the original template.
    So far as performance is concerned, there can be some performance drop when using linked clones as opposed to full fat VM's, in a similar fashion to normal VM's with snapshots.  Normally it isn't a problem, even if you have a chain of linked clones of linked clones, but it can be.  All depends on how much you need to push your SQL servers, and how much grunt is available from your ESX's and the storage that your VM's are running from.

  • How to Create a Temporary Table with SQL Server

    I know you can create a temporary table in SQL Server 2000, but not quite sure how to do it in CFMX 7, i.e., does the SQL go inside a <CFQUERY dbtype="query"> tag?
    I'm pulling the main set of records from an Oracle server (1st data source), but it does not contain employee names, only employee IDs.  Since I need to show the employee name along with the Emp ID, I'm then pulling a list of "current" employee names from a SQL Server (2nd data source), which is the main database on our CF server.
    I've got a QofQ that works fine, except it only matches EmpIDs that exist in both result sets.  Employees who are no longer employed, don't match, and don't display.  Since I can't do a LEFT OUTER JOIN with a QofQ, what I need to do is get the records from the Oracle server into the SQL Server.  Preferably in a temporary table.
    I was hoping if I could get those Oracle records written to a temp table on the main SQL Server, in same database as the Employee Name table, I could then write a normal <CFQUERY> that uses a LEFT OUTER JOIN.
    I think I could probably write a Stored Procedure that would execute the SQL to create the temporary table, but am trying to avoid having to write the SP, and do it the simplest way.
    This query will be a program that can be run hundreds of times per day, with a form that allows users to select date ranges, locations, and other options.  That starts the queries, which creates the report.  So I just need the temp table to exist only until all the SQL has run, and the <CFOUTPUT> has generated a report.
    If the premise is right, I just need some help with the syntax for creating a SQL Server temp table, when you want to write records to it from an external data source.  I'm trying the following, but getting an error:
    <CFQUERY name="ITE_Temp" datasource="SkynetSQL">
    CREATE TABLE #MyTemp
    (   INSERT INTO #MyTemp
    ITE2.TrueFile char (7) NOT NULL,
    ITE2.CountOfEmployee int NULL,
    ITE2.DTL_SUBTOT decimal NULL,
    ITE2.EMPTYPE char (3) NULL,
    ITE2.ARPT_CD char (3) NULL
    </CFQUERY>
    So I actually created a permanent table on the SQL Server, and wrote the below SQL, which does work, and does write the records to table.  I can then write another CFQUERY with a LEFT OUTER JOIN, and get all the records, including those that don't have matching employee name:
    <CFQUERY datasource="SkynetSQL">
    <CFLOOP index="i" from="1" to = "#ITE2.RecordCount#">
    INSERT INTO ITE_Temp
       (FullFile,
       EmployeeCount,
       DTL_Amount,
       EmployeeType,
       station)
    VALUES  ('#ITE2.TrueFile[i]#',
       #ITE2.CountOfEmployee[i]#,
       #ITE2.DTL_SUBTOT[i]#,
       '#ITE2.EMPTYPE[i]#',
       '#ITE2.ARPT_CD[i]#')
    </CFLOOP>
    </CFQUERY>
    But, I hate to have to create a table and physically write to it.  For one, it seems slower, and doing it in temp would be in memory, and probably much faster, correct?  Is there some way to code the above, so that it does something similar, but in a TEMPORARY TABLE?   If I can figure out how to do this, I can pull data from multiple data sources and servers, and using SQL Server temp tables, work with the data as if it was all on the same SQL Server, and do some cool reports.
    Everything I've done for the past few years, has all been from data from a single source, whether SQL Server, or another server.  Now I need to start writing reports where data can come from 3 or 4 different servers, and be able to do joins (inner and outer).  Thanks for any advice/help.  Much appreciated.
    Gary

    While waiting to hear back, I was able to write the query results from an outside Oracle server, to a table on the local SQL Server, and do the LEFT OUTER JOIN required for the final query and report to work.  That was with this syntax:
    <CFQUERY name="AddTableRecords" datasource="MyTable">
    TRUNCATE TABLE ITE_Temp
    <CFOUTPUT query="ITE2">
    INSERT INTO ITE_Temp
    (FullFile,EmployeeCount,DTL_Amount,EmployeeType,station)
    VALUES
    ('#TrueFile#', #CountOfEmployee#, #DTL_SUBTOT#, '#EMPTYPE#', '#ARPT_CD#')
    </CFOUTPUT>
    </CFQUERY>
    However, I was not able to write to a temporary table AND read the results. I got the syntax to run to write the above results to a temporary table.  But when I tried to read and output the results from the temp table, I got an error.  Also, it wouldn't take the single "#" (local) only the global "##" table var, using this syntax.  Note that if I didn't have the DROP TABLE in the beginning, the 2nd time you run this query, you get an error telling you the table already exists.
    <CFQUERY name="ITE_Temp2" datasource="MyTable">
    DROP TABLE ##MyTemp2
    CREATE TABLE ##MyTemp2
    FullFile char (7) NOT NULL,
    EmployeeCount int NULL,
    DTL_Amount decimal NULL,
    EmployeeType char (3) NULL,
    station char (3) NULL
    <CFOUTPUT query="ITE2">
    INSERT INTO ##MyTemp2 VALUES
    '#ITE2.TrueFile#',
    #ITE2.CountOfEmployee#,
    #ITE2.DTL_SUBTOT#,
    '#ITE2.EMPTYPE#',
    '#ITE2.ARPT_CD#'
    </CFOUTPUT>
    </CFQUERY>
    So even though the above works, I could use some help in reading/writing the output.  I've tried several things similar to below, but they don't work.  It't telling me ITE_Temp2 does not exist.  It's not easy to find good examples of creating temporary tables in SQL Server.
    <CFQUERY name="QueryTest2" datasource="SkynetSQL">
    SELECT *
    FROM ITE_Temp2
    </CFQUERY>
    <CFOUTPUT query="ITE_Temp2">
    Output from Temp Table<br>
    <p>FullFile: #FullFile#, EmployeeCount: #EmployeeCount#</p>
    </CFOUTPUT>
    Thanks for any help/advice.

  • Linked Servers Diff Domains server type SQL Server vs OLE

    Ok, we have two different servers ETL03 (2012) and SQL03 (2012 ent). Each on Separate domains SQL03 server has many instances. i have kerberos set up and it appears to be working fine (run SELECT auth_scheme FROM sys.dm_exec_connections WHERE session_id
    = @@spid ;).  For the different instances to work with Kerberos, i had to assign a static port to each of the instances.  The main server instances are using the default 1433.  When i created a linked server from SQL03\TestInstance to ETL03,
    i can put the
    Link server: ETL03
    Server Type: SQL Server
    Security 'Be made using the login's current security context'
    If i make this exact same linked server but from ETL03 to SQL03\TestInstance  i get the error Login failed for user 'NT Authority/Anonymous Login'.  
    If i create the connection where the Server Type is OLE DB, it works. However, not all of the databases show up in the catalog.
    So here are my questions:  
    1- anyone have any ideas as to why the OLE DB connection works and the SQL Server connection doesn't work when going from ETL03 to SQL03\TestInstance
    2- If i have to use the OLE DB connection, fine, but where are all of the db's? Most show up, but a few do not.
    FYI, the linked server from ETL03 to default instance of SQL03 works perfectly, i can see all db's etc.  So has something to do with these named instances.  Thanks for all and any input.

    So i figured out what it was looking for, if anyone is interested.  In order to use SQL Server as the type, i had to use the FQDN so when making the connection the server name is, SQL03.subdomain.domain.local\TestInstance.
    This works and you can see all of the db's etc.  I'd still like to know why the other doesn't work. When setting the spns for the service account, i included two entries: 
    MSSQLSvc/SQL03:50001
    MSSQLSvc/SQL03.subdomain.domain.local:50001
    so technically i shouldn't have to use the fqdn, but as long as it works....
