  All,

  I have a remote MySQL database which has IP based security restrictions. If I create a stored procedure on a SQL Server 2000 instance and run it from a client will it run on the server or on the client?

  I don't want to open up the IP restrictions to all our machines but I could open it up to allow the SQL server to have access.

  Sorry for the basic question.

  Thanks

  Andrew

  all code, whether a TSQL statment or a procedure, is executed on the SQL server, and the results(if any) are returned to the client.

  so if you have a linked server to your mySQL database, the calling machine is the SQL server.

  does that help?
