Linked Servers - Postgres 8.0.2

Hi,

I have: (WinXP+SP2+MSSQ L2k+Postgres 8.0.2)
I'm trying to link the PostgreSQL 8.0.2 server
in Enterprise Manager Tree
and don't know some of the parameters.
Has someone of you a Postgres server linked to MSSQL?
Could you tell me, what data you have, please?

Security / Linked Servers / New Linked Server...

Linked Server:........ ....???
Provider Name: PostgreSQL OLE DB Provider (do you us this one?)
Product name:.......... ...???
Data source:........ ......???
Provider string:........ ..???
Location:...... ...........???

Distributed Transaction Coordinator i running.
What else should I do?

Thanks a lot if you could help,
Maniek.

I don't know Postgres, but it's not really that much different
from connecting from a client.
Linked Server:........ ....???
This is just an alias, so you can put any name here.
Provider Name: PostgreSQL OLE DB Provider (do you us this one?)
Product name:.......... ...???
Try Postgres.
Data source:........ ......???
You can leave this blank, if you include the data source in the
provider srting.
Provider string:........ ..???
The connect string you would use in an application using the
PostgreSQL OLE DB Provider.
Location:...... ...........???


Odds are good that you can leave this blank, although it depends
on the OLE DB provider.

Thank you very much you've tried to help me.
Finally I've solved the problem using ODBC.
With OLE DB it was very difficult - it's not very stable.

I have two SQL Server 2000 machines (server_A and server_B). I've used sp_addlinkedserver to link them both, the link seems to behave fine. I can execute remote queries and do all types of neat things from one while logged onto the other. I'm working on a project to keep the data in the two systems synchronized, so I'm using triggers on both sides to update each other. For testing, I've created a simple, one-column table on both...

Trying to do this all day and googling for answers but found none, hope someone can help. Thanks in advance. select * into OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB','SERVER';'uid';'pwd',##test) from LocalTable Reason: I am joining local tables with linked server tables using the format "LinkedServer.database.owner.object" to execute a query, it takes forever to execute since the tables joined on the remote servers

Hello All- We are in the process of converting the back end of our large MS Access application to PostgreSQL. My question today concerns linked tables and how their connections are managed by Access. It appears that Access does a *lot* of connecting and disconnecting to these linked tables. This is causing me a major headache, as I'd really like to store some session-based information in the back end that can be referenced by the linked...

Hi Folks, I'm having a strange situation here between 2 Linked MS SQL 2K servers. One of the servers died recently and I rebuilt it. All seems to be working fine, except that when I create views that access tables on the other (linked) server, I can not modify any data, because I get the Invalid object name server.database.dbo.TableName error. The View does work fine otherwise, ie displays the data in it, I just can't modify. The...
