Hi all,
I like to access a production database server from my development database,
I need to count how fast one table in the production table grows, is there
any way to do it without actually getting on the production server? linked
server?

Thanks.

Thanks for reply.
Even I have sa permission to all sql servers, I still can't have have access
from one server to a different server.

Matthew,

as SQL said:

1. Linked Server
2. OPENROWSET or OPENDATASOURCE - neither requires a linked server to be
created
3. Use EM, QA, OSQL or some other application to connect directly to your
other server.
4. Job or DTS to get the value required to your local db

Another option is to create an xp_sendmail proc job on the production DB
that will mail the result to yourself whenever you execute this job

Thanks guys, based on your replies,I got a idea, I may try DTS job & send
mail functions. This is not a one time process, it runs every week for
reporting Purpose.
