| I'd like to set up an ODBC Data Source to a table in a linked SQL Server, via my local SQL Server. When I use the ODBC Data Sources program to set up the ODBC DSN, it only shows databases in the local SQL Server, not in the linked one. If I try typing it in: [NAMEOFLINKEDSERVER].databasename - it tells me that it is an invalid table. How can I create an ODBC Data Source which uses a database in the linked server as its default database? |

| I've got a similar question. In my case I linked an Oracle database to my SQL Server 2005 Standard database. I also want to see the tables in the linked server. I hope someone can answer this for both of us...
