Linked Server missing rows on Sql 2005

  • Hi All,

    We have 2 servers (A and B). when we run remote query from B to A using linked server, sometimes nto all the rows are being transfered. but if i run manually the same process again all the rows are transfered.

    the version and SP on the server is:

    Microsoft sql server 2005 Service Pack 3 - 9.00.4054.00 standar edition on windows nt 5.2 SP2

    regards,

  • It depends on what you are doing.

    If you are running queries that join between tables in the two server instances, and transferring large amounts of data, then you have a bottleneck that you need to be aware of.

    If the servers are on their own subnet with a 1GB link, then you should not have to worry a great deal. I would be concerned if the two servers are connected by a shared, slow link.

  • Hi and thanks for your answer!

    About the query it has not join, only simple select.

    the query is something like this:

    select * from openquery([LinkedServerName],'select X,y,z from AB')

    "transferring large amounts of data": is 14K or 20K a large amount?

    Anyway if i have bottleneck...i will see that as missing rows or as a timeout?

    About the subnet i really dont know the details, how can i check it? the servers are from a customer.

    thanks a lot again.
