How to query remote linked server

    I have linked a remote server successfully. Linked server name is "DATA2".

    Now I need to issue a sql query against the remote server.

    So I do this :

    select * from DATA2.DB_name.TableName

    Now I am getting the errors:

    Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    Invalid object name 'DATA2.DB_name.TableName'.

    What am I doing wrong?

    You need the 4-part name. In your case it seems like the schema is missing.

    Assuming it's dbo, the query would look like

    select * from DATA2.DB_name.dbo.TableName
