Hello....
I have two linked server... (ServerB and ServerC) which reside on ServerA. I am able to connect to the remote database using "Select" statements without any issues.
When I run this query, It is successful:
delete [SERVERB].MyDatabase.dbo.TableName
from [SERVERB].MyDatabase.dbo.TableName t1
Left join MyDatabase.dbo.TableName t2 on ( t1.ID = t2.ID and
t1.EmployeeNumber = t2.EmployeeNumber and
t1.AccountNumber = t2.AccountNumber)
where t2.ID is null;
However, when I change [SERVERB] to [SERVERC], I receive two errors:
"Could not find server 'ELEARN-FRM-BETA' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers."
And
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "ELEARN-FRM-BETA" returned message "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
When I run profiler on ServerC, I see traffic... mainly a whole bunch of exec "sp_cursorfetch" operations, so I know the connection is valid.
Any ideas?
