Creating a View in Another Database Using OpenQuery

    Is it possible to use OpenQuery to create a view in a linked server's database? I tried it, but it didn't work for me.

    I think this will be work:

    EXECUTE ('create view dbo.v_test as select 1 as d') AT [linked_server_name]

    Thanks. Will this work if the linked server is NOT a SQL Server database?

    if the command is compliant with the other DBMS (mysql, oracle, etc,) then yes.

    the ODBC driver under the covers of the linked server sends the command, so if it's a valid command(and have the permissions required), you would be good to go.

    What I'd like to know is why you're trying to backdoor something that you apparently have no privs to. Do it up front and in a forthright manner... contact the owner/DBA of that system and request they do it.

    You might also want to read your employee handbook for the company you're working for. What you're doing could be an offense where they could terminate your job with no warning.

    Fortunately, this is just a proof of concept, but you are right. I followed your advice and let the Hive expert/DBA create the view. I was just being impatient.

    Ya know... it takes a lot to admit something like that. Well done all the way around.
