Getting error while using link server from sql2005 to sql2000

  • HI at one of our client side a link server had been created 5 month back from sql server 2005 to sql server 2000.It was working fine.Even now when it right click on it and test connection it succeeds .But when i try to execute a quest which fetches data from sql server 2000 (using link server)

    i get following error

    Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "<Linked Server Name>" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.

    Msg 7312, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    Invalid use of schema or catalog for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "<Linked Server Name>". A four-part name was supplied, but the provider does not expose the necessary interfaces to use a catalog or schema..

    Please tell me whats the issue.IS it related to rights and previliges or its anything else.Or any thing related to pwd.PLz reply fast

    Thanks and Regards

  • can you mask the query and post it which you are trying to run from sql 2005.

  • This may be due to some patch made on one of the servers.

    Can you test with openquery to see there is no permission, configuration issues

    Select * from openquery(linkservername,'select top 1 * from dbname.schemaname.yourtablename')

    I had faced similar issues when creating linked server from 64 bit
