Multiple servers in a distributed environment

  • Can anybody tel me the below query..

    Companyxyz.com has multiple servers in a distributed environment. You work with two SQL

    Server 2005 computers named SQL1 and SQL2. Each server uses SQL Server Authentication

    and they use different logins. You need to write a distributed query that joins the data on SQL1

    with the data on SQL2. What should you do?

  • You would need to setup Linked Servers on the SQL Servers and either grant login rights to the users on both servers and use "pass-through" authentication or map users on the source server to a specific user on the destination(linked) server that only has permissions needed for these queries.
