Author odbc open query syntax to db2
Bill

Ok all you Gurus,
Here is a problem we are having, we have a sql server 2000 and we have
another server which is a DB2 server. The db2 server is linked. We are
trying to run an open query and I do not think I have the right syntax
to accomplish this task. Please see query following


go
SELECT *
FROM OPENQUERY(Bacardites
t,'SELECT top 10* FROM USA.accts')
go

I do not know if this is correct concerning the syntax for db2 that
would be the sytax inside of the ()
this query runs fine with a select * instead of the top 10
please advise

thanx
Bill

Try this Bill (untested),

SELECT *
FROM OPENQUERY(Bacardites
t,'SELECT * FROM USA.accts FETCH FIRST
10 ROWS ONLY')
