AVOID updates to a linked server

  • Hi everyone...

    I have a question related to linked servers. I have set up a linked server to an AS/400 box but I just need that linked server connection to be "read only"... I mean, that tables in the AS/400 cannot be dropped, altered, updated and so on.

    is it possible?

  • The security would be implemented on the AS400 side. So have a chat with the AS400 admin. If it is like SQL server, they would create an ID with read-only permissions and you would define the connection for the LinkedServer using that ID.

  • I think we'll try that, thank you very much.

  • My pleasure. Good luck.
