  Could someone please provide steps to create Linked Server within SQL Server 2008. I want to create a link between two databases that reside in different servers and instances.

  Thanks.

  RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
  First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
  ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

  Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
