Hi Debra,

From the sound of it, you're fine just keeping the data on the remote server. The only time you might need to load the data into your local server is if you need to join tables on the linked server with tables on your local server. When you need to do that it creates a lot of network traffic and is not efficient.

As for the actual queries you need, it sounds like you just need a basic select statement like:

SELECT member_name

FROM members

WHERE memberid = 1234

however since it's on a linked server you need to use the fully qualified name which includes the lined server name:

SELECT member_name

FROM [linkedservername].[databasename].[dbo].members

WHERE memberid = 1234

That should perform the query. Just replace the names above with your linked server name, and it's database name and it should work.

Answered: what is view in sql server 2005

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:35:36 +0000

Hi,

A view is simply a saved select statement. It does not contain data. When you call a view, it executes that select statement.

let's use this sample view as an example:

CREATE VIEW vw_customer

AS

BEGIN

SELECT * FROM customer

END

If you make a call to the view like this:

SELECT * FROM vw_customer

it's the same as if you are executing the following:

SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER)

Another reason to create a view is to provide a layer of abstraction for the underlying table. This could be for security reasons, or to alias the columns, or to provide additional columns.
