Session 1: Setting Up and Using SQL Server Linked Servers, Jean Sigouin
Having access to data, wherever it might be is critical for business. In a world where data is stored and distributed onto multiple database servers and multiple server platforms, it’s important to have the tools to bring it all together in a seamless, integrated point of access. The goal of this session is to show the DBA how to use SQL Server’s “Linked Server” capabilities to build bridges between a SQL Server instance and separate SQL Servers, Oracle, Access, Excel and pretty much any other data source out there. You will see how to retrieve, combine and modify data from a linked SQL Server. Techniques to abstract linked server objects to improve usability and simplify queries will also be covered.
