Remote link issue

  • Looks to me weird problem. I am running distributed quries on the server and it's working fine with all the tables except one. I am getting following error while executing distributed queried on one table.

    Msg 7313, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    An invalid schema or catalog was specified for the provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "GMSC12MS".

    This owner of this table is dbo.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    To beat a thoroughly dead horse that's been hashed multiple times in this forum: Is there a question here? Do you want help with understanding the error message? Do you want help rebuilding your database to be internally consistent? You have an error message talking about schema, catalog, provider and linked server. Then you say the owner of this table is dbo. That's very nice.

  • Hi,

    Can you post the exact query you are using??

  • I have figured out the issue.

    The query I was using was like that.

    Select * from serverName.DatabaseName.dbo.[tablename]

    but the table name had space at the end like this [tableName ] so I was using table name without a space.

    Following is the right query for the table name which has space in it. when I use this I don't get error.

    Select * from serverName.DatabaseName.dbo.[tablename ]

  • Hi

    Please check your SQLSERVER service account.

    Start service with domain account

  • Thank you so much! I've had exactly the same problem and it's been driving me mad for 2 days now.

    A quick note to Mr or Mrs. 500 - if you don't have anything useful to post then please don't bother.;)
