I've used a linked server as an experiment, but I chose to approach the database directly from my C# application with the Progress ODBC driver. I didn't see any added value of the linked server for my use case. If I remember correctly, you still have to use Progress/ODBC SQL syntax even if you use a linked server.Tue, 23 Oct 2012 02:10:05 GMTaddielemanhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic921014-148-1.aspxThanks too much ....Quoting name of field as you suggested , i solved my problem.I have to write a .docx to remeber all particular syntax querying data from an OPENEDGE database.Besides this problem i encountered a problem with 3 problems :SQL WIDTH of field different from format of the field.([b]I solved [/b]this using DBTOOL utility of PROGRESS RDMS)field as EXTENT (similar to array) i found only in OPEND EDGE PROGRESS DB.([b]I solved this [/b], treating these kind of fields, Finally this problem to query name of field with MINUS CHARACTER....[b]T H A N K S a lot.[/b]PS. Do you suggest to write all problems i encontered pull data to an OPEND EDGE PROGRESS using LINKED SERVER ?????????Regards and many thanks AGAIN !!!!!i FEEL better...:-)Mon, 22 Oct 2012 08:59:53 GMTmaretixhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic921014-148-1.aspxJudging from the error message I would say that the column PREZZI.PRE is missing from the SELECT statement specified for the OPENQUERY.Also the "AND PUB.PREZZI.pre-anno = 2012" will indeed give errors: you have to quote the column name when reserved characters are used, like so:AND PUB.PREZZI.[b]"[/b]pre-anno[b]"[/b] = 2012Mon, 22 Oct 2012 08:22:16 GMTaddielemanhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic921014-148-1.aspxCiao many thanks for your kind reply.For this , me too i have the same doubt.I used also LINKED SERVER but with it , i encountered a syntax problem i was not able to solve.The problem is written below.I have a query with a field name with MINUS character and this it does not like to LINKED SERVER.wHAT CAN I DO ????Do you ha ve any suggest to override the MINUS problem ???For this reason, i am trying to solve problem with reading directly PROGRESS OPENEDGE In any way i write below my query in LINKED SERVER too, in BOLD font the name field with MINUS...The query give me the error written below after the query...It seems LINKED SERVER treat character '-' as a keyword or reserved word.In any way...i am blocked about these problems...T H A N K S in advance if you have any suggest.Ciao Mauro.======================SELECT 1 AS CodAzienda, codpro AS CodProdotto, codcema AS CodMagazzino , scmin AS Scmin , scmax AS Scmax, priord AS PuntoRiordino, leco AS Lotto, locali1 AS Locali1 , locali2 AS Locali2, locali3 AS Locali3, locali4 AS Locali4, locali5 AS Locali5, locali6 AS Locali6, abcpick AS ABCpick , abcsco AS ABCsco , abcfatt AS ABCFatt , tipvend AS Tipvend, indrot AS Indrot, coefsic AS CoeffSicurezza, tiprior AS TipoRiordino ,leadtime AS LeadTime, settor AS SettOrd, dommed AS DomMed , devsta AS Devsta, incmed AS Incmed , scsic AS Scosic, dotmin AS Dotmin, limmax AS Limmax, stprod AS Stprod, settorf AS SetOrdFor , cuaz AS CuAz , cmcaz AS CmcAz , Cufil AS CuFil, cmcfil AS CmcFil, dtultve AS UltimaDataVendita, codfil AS Codfiliale , CONVERT(DECIMAL(18,0),REPLACE(SUBSTRING(quantita,1,CHARINDEX(';',quantita)),';','') ) AS QuantitaGiacenzaAttuale, CONVERT(DECIMAL(18,2), REPLACE ( SUBSTRING(importo,1,CHARINDEX(';',importo)),';','') ) AS ValoreGiacenzaAttuale FROM openquery( COMETA_BASE01P , 'select parmag.codpro, parmag.codcema , parmag.scmin, parmag.scmax, parmag.priord, parmag.leco, parmag.locali1, parmag.locali2,parmag.locali3,parmag.locali4,parmag.locali5,parmag.locali6, parmag.abcpick,parmag.abcsco,parmag.abcfatt,parmag.tipvend,parmag.indrot, parmag.coefsic,parmag.tiprior,parmag.leadtime, parmag.settor,parmag.dommed, parmag.devsta,parmag.incmed, parmag.scsic, parmag.dotmin, parmag.limmax,parmag.stprod, parmag.settorf, prezzi.cu AS Cuaz , prezzi.cmc AS CmcAz, ypremag.cu AS CuFil, ypremag.cmc AS CmcFil, parmag.dtultve , yfilmag.codfil , magsin.quantita , magsin.importo from pub.parmag left outer join pub.magsin on pub.magsin.codpro = pub.parmag.codpro and pub.magsin.codcema = pub.parmag.codcema left outer join pub.prezzi on pub.prezzi.codpro = pub.parmag.codpro AND PUB.PREZZI.[b]pre-anno [/b]= 2012 left outer join pub.ypremag on pub.ypremag.codpro = pub.parmag.codpro AND pub.ypremag.codcema = pub.parmag.codcemaleft outer join pub.yfilmag on pub.yfilmag.codcema = pub.parmag.codcema where parmag.codpro <> '''' ') ===============================E R R O R===========OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "COMETA_BASE01P" returned message "[DataDirect][ODBC Progress OpenEdge Wire Protocol driver][OPENEDGE]Column "PUB.PREZZI.PRE" cannot be found or is not specified for query.
