Include sp_AddlinkedServer in an insert Trigger problem!!!

  • Hi there, i need to append record to a dbf table from a sql table's insert trigger. I had tried 2 ways to make things work however, i m stuck and could not get it right.

    1) I code link server in the insert trigger like this,

    Create TRIGGER iTR_Insert_SQLTable ON SQLTable

    AFTER INSERT

    AS

    BEGIN

    --Do other job first

    ...

    ...

    EXEC sp_addlinkedserver

    @server = 'MyDBF',

    @srvproduct = 'xyzDBF',

    @provider = 'VFPOLEDB.1',

    @datasrc = 'D:\Temp\VFP\data\',

    @location = '', @catalog = ''--values to insert

    Insert into MyDBF...country (Code, CountryName)

    values (ltrim(rtrim(@Code)), ltrim(rtrim(@cName)) )

    END

    PROBLEM:

    The trigger return error after in tried to insert a record to my sql table

    The procedure 'sys.sp_addlinkedserver' cannot be executed within a transaction.

    2) I create a stored procedure to make a linked server and then i change my trigger look like this

    Alter TRIGGER iTR_Insert_SQLTable ON SQLTable

    AFTER INSERT

    AS

    BEGIN

    --Do other job first

    ...

    ...

    Insert into MyDBF...country (Code, CountryName)

    values (ltrim(rtrim(@Code)), ltrim(rtrim(@cName)) )

    END

    PROBLEM:

    The trigger return error after in tried to insert a record to my sql table

    The requested operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "VFPOLEDB.1" for linked server "MyDBF" does not support the required transaction interface.

    .

    Can any pro advice where did I do wrong?

    Thank you.

    Together, we can make wonders!
