Want to query data from other database server like Oracle, Access, IBM DB2 or even Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet, ODBC data source and file system? All you need to do is to add them as linked server on Microsoft SQL 2008. And remote stored procedures can be executed too.
Run below queries to add linked server
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N’ServerName‘, @provider = N’SQLOLEDB’, @datasrc = N’DataSource‘, @srvproduct=”
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N’ServerName‘,@useself=N’False’,@locallogin=NULL,@rmtuser=N’UserName‘,@rmtpassword=’Password‘
sp_addlinkedserver is used to create a linked server.
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin is used to create login on the linked server.
That’s all.
