mixed success. My problem right now is in trying to write a View using
a linked server. The linked server is another SQL-Server, and it was
set up using the 'Enterprise Manager' interface. When the server was
created, the name was given as the full server address -
name.pyr.ec.gc.ca.
When I try and use this name in a new view, I enter the name in the
query as [name.pyr.ec.gc.ca].database.dbo.table. SQL-Server rewrites
this name as name.[pyr.ec.gc.ca.database].dbo.table table_1
I'm sure this is me not understanding something about using linked
servers, but it seems strange to me none the less. Is there a way for
me to create the linked server using sp_addlinkedserver, which would
not require the full server address as the linked server name? Or is my
view syntax not correct? Or can I just not create the query as a view?
I've looked around the new groups, but have no answers yet. Any help
would be much appreciated.
Timnever mind....finally found a single entry in BOL that explained it.
