After creating a linked server to a remote server, I needed to log in using
sp_addlinkedsrv login to get my stored procedure to work. However, I noticed
that after stopping SQL Server and the DTC and then restarting both, that my
stored procedure worked without having to execute sp_addlinkedsrv login.
Is the log-in information stored in the machine, such that if SQL Server is
stopped or the server is rebooted, on does not have to execute
sp_addlinkedsrv login again? Or is there a point at which one would have to
re-log-in to a linked server?
Thanks.

You appears to have missunderstood the purpose of sp_addlinkedsrv login. The
procedure does not login into the remote server. I have not checked, but I
would assume that you can run sp_addlinkedsrv login without the linked server
being available.
What sp_addlinkedsrv login does, as you already have discovered, is to store
information, so that when you issue a query to the linked server, SQL Server
can log in to that data source. So this is a configuration procedure that
you run once, or possible when you need to give a new user access to the
linked server.

Speaking of linking to a server, is it possible to assign a linked server an
alias at the time it is linked? The reason is that our linked server is a
web server, and it's possible that sometime in the not-too-distant future
its address will change, and, at that point, I'd have to go into the stored
procedures and manually change the server name. Can I assign an alias so
that if a new server has to be linked it can have the same alias?
Thanks.

If you are on SQL 2005, you can always use synonyms.
If you are on some earlier version of SQL Server you can use
sp_addlinkedser ver. You see, what you define with sp_addlinkedser ver is
really an alias.
In its simplest form, you just say:
sp_addlinksedse rver 'THATSERVER'
and THATSERVER will refer to a server with that name. However, you
can also say:
sp_addlinkedser ver 'MYSERVERNAME', '', 'SQLOLEDB', 'THATSERVER'
so that you can use MYSERVERNAME as a reference to THATSERVER. Thus,
when you web server changes, you just drop the server, and recreate
it with the new information.
Note: the syntax above may not work exactly like that. I usually have
problem with more advanced usage of sp_addlinksedse rver myself. But
it usually sorts out when I've been looking at the topic for
sp_addlinksedse rver in Books Online for a while.

So, basically:
sp_addlinkedser ver @server = 'MYSERVERNAME', @provider = 'SQLOLEDB',
@datasrc = 'THATSERVER'
I'll give that a shot. Thanks.

Yup, you were right. Used '' and it worked fine. Thanks!

Yeah, but as I recall the second parameter, @srvproduct, may not be NULL.
But you'll find out. :-)

It would be nice if general query logging could be switched on and off
while the MySQL server is running, and not only at startup time.
While debugging an application that uses foreign database access
libraries, this would be very helpful. One could switch on logging,
perform an activity, switch off logging, and look what has happened.
Otherwise, the server has to be restarted to change logging, which
is a bit annoying......

Hi,
while working on something in my current project I have made several
improvements to the logging package in Python, two of them are worth
mentioning:
1. addition of a logging record field %(function)s, which results in
the name
of the entity which logged the record. My version even deduces the
class name in the case which the logger is a bound method, and assuming
the name of the "self" variable is indeed "self".
