ODBC Link Server in MS SQL
yuibox July 17th, 2008
Here is how you link you ODBC server. Just open SQL Management Studio-> New Query and type this:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = ‘MyServer’, — the name of your linkserver
@srvproduct = ”,
@provider = ‘MSDASQL’, — This is the default for ODBC server, for more info please reffer to MS Site
@datasrc = ‘lotus’ –DSN name
GO
This code will just add the server to your Link Servers list.In order to ensure it executed succesfully you can try this:
EXEC sp_tables_ex ‘MyServer’
go
EXEC sp_tables_ex @table_server = ‘MyServer’
go
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(MyServer, ‘SELECT * FROM TableName’)
go
If it has user and password use this:
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = ‘MyServer’,
@useself = false,
@locallogin = NULL,
@rmtuser = ‘yuibox’,
@rmtpassword = rawr
GO
Hope it helps!
Stumble it!
