Author Connect from MS-SQL Server to Sybase
Elangovan Raman

2005-04-06, 8:03 pm

How would someone use the following Stored Proc in MS-SQL
Server :

Creating a linked server:

Exec sp_addlinkedserver

@server = 'alias name of the linked server',

@srvproduct = '',

/*this is the product name of the OLE DB
data source to add as a linked server.*/

@provider = 'provider_name',

@datasrc = 'data_source',

@location = 'location',

@provstr = 'provider_string',

@catalog = 'catalog'

to connect to Sybase ASE 12.5.0.3.

The usage would be to connect to the Sybase ASE Server with
the User-id and Password stored on a MS-SQL Server User
Table.

Your inputs are most welcome.

Thanks.

Elango.

I could be wrong, but as of SP3 you can no longer create DbLink servers to
Sybase because there isn't a "certified" OLE-DB driver for Sybase (as far as
MS is concerned). I could be wrong, maybe you can force the issue with the
command below. Maybe that's a limitation of Enterprise Manager however.

Where I am, we go the other way (ASE -> MSSQL) with Direct Connect - ODBC :)
