Problem with Missing tables in Linked Server in SQL server 2005

  • I have a linked server that contains multiple databases. One of the databases is only showing 5 tables and there are quite a few more on that database. Does anyone know why or what to do to get the rest of the tables to be available to query?

    This is the script I am using to create the linked server.

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'KOPDEV01', @srvproduct=N'SQL Server'

    GO

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'KOPDEV01', @optname=N'collation compatible', @optvalue=N'false'

    GO

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'KOPDEV01', @optname=N'data access', @optvalue=N'true'

    GO

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'KOPDEV01', @optname=N'dist', @optvalue=N'false'

    GO

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'KOPDEV01', @optname=N'pub', @optvalue=N'false'

    GO

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'KOPDEV01', @optname=N'rpc', @optvalue=N'true'

    GO

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'KOPDEV01', @optname=N'rpc out', @optvalue=N'true'

    GO

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'KOPDEV01', @optname=N'sub', @optvalue=N'false'

    GO

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'KOPDEV01', @optname=N'connect timeout', @optvalue=N'0'

    GO

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'KOPDEV01', @optname=N'collation name', @optvalue=null

    GO

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'KOPDEV01', @optname=N'lazy schema validation', @optvalue=N'false'

    GO

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'KOPDEV01', @optname=N'query timeout', @optvalue=N'0'

    GO

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'KOPDEV01', @optname=N'use remote collation', @optvalue=N'true'

    GO

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • It's probably a question of rights. The login you're using for the link probably doesn't have access to the other tables.
