Question

I am trying to implement Linked Servers. but I am having problems establishing connection to my two servers, SRV-AXDEV and SRV-APP1

I have already created the linked server SRV-AXDEV under SRV-APP1 with the following configurations:

Linked Server: SRV-AXDEV

Server Type:SQL Server

Security: be made using this security context (with the log in
credentials i used when i connect to SRV-AXDEV)

collation compatible: False

Data Access: True

RPC: True

RPC Out: True

Use Remote Collation: True

Collation Name:

Connection Time out: 0

Query Time out: 0

Distributor: False

Publisher : False

Subscriber: False

Lazy Schema Violation: False

Enable Promotion of Distributed Transactions: True

This is the list of my databases in SRV-AXDEV:

But when I try to run this query:

Select * from [SRV-AXDEV].[GFII_AX2009_DB_LIVE].[dbo].[InventTable]

I keep on getting this error:

Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The OLE DB provider “SQLNCLI10”
for linked server “SRV-AXDEV” does not contain the table
“”GFII_AX2009_DB_LIVE”.”dbo”.”InventTable””. The table either does not
exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.

I hope you could help me with this problem.

Answer 1

The properties which have been declared are perfect.
Check the following steps

1. Check wether the table exists on the perticular linked server database.
2. Check the schema of the table as “DBO”
3. check the security login for linked server wether the user having the required permission for access the table(better to login with SA)
