I have a SQL Server 2012.(120.120.55.15)
Today I linked MySQL server(120.120.55.30) to my SQLServer and gave it a name "MYSQL".
In Object Explorer everything seems fine. I can see MySQL server's database "exampleDataBase" and tables in it.
But when I try to run select query like this:
SELECT *
FROM openquery
(
MYSQL,
'
SELECT *
FROM [exampleDataBase].[msProcMatrix]
'
)
I get a mistake:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MYSQL" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error. Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MYSQL".
What should be additionally done to use my linked MySQL server?
Found the decision:
SELECT *
FROM openquery(MYSQL, 'SELECT * FROM exampleDataBase.msProcMatrix')
Without brackets!
Strange for me but works...
