Editor's Notes
- #9 You can use the OPENROWSET function wherever the OLE DB provider returns rowsets either by specifying a table (or view) name or by specifying a query that returns a rowset. The OPENROWSET function can be used in the place of a table or view name in a Transact-SQL statement. --This example uses an ad hoc name to retrieve data from the Customerstable of a Microsoft Access version of the Northwind sample database. SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MSOfficeAccessSamples orthwind.mdb';'admin';'password', Customers) Use OPENDATASOURCE only when the provider exposes rowsetsand uses the catalog.schema.object notation. This function can be used in the same Transact-SQL syntax locations a linked server name can be used. Thus, in the catalog.schema.object notation, OPENDATASOURCE can be used as the first part of a four-part name that refers to a table or a view name.-- SELECT from a table on another instance of SQL Server. SELECT * FROM OPENDATASOURCE( 'SQLOLEDB', 'Data Source=ServerName;User ID=MyUID;Password=MyPass' ).Northwind.dbo.Categories
