I'm using the Data calculation in the WHERE Clause.
WHERE Effective_Date < CONVERT(DATE, DateAdd(yy, - 5, GetDate()));
Does it matter which method I use as far...

Scot - your suggestion worked. I had to enable the MSDTC service and now the distributed queries run.Thanks for the pointer !

No problem. That's the most common fix,...

You could also just add a "GO" after the ALTER TABLE; that will put the SELECTs in a separate batch, by which table SQL should "know" they already exist, having...

After you issue the command(s) below, the next time SQL starts, tempdb will be sized accordingly.
Split the 2GB into equal parts, for however many tempdb data files you have.
For this...

First verify that DTC (Distributed Transaction Coordinator) is up and running properly on both(/all) instances.

I think SQL parses things a batch at a time. All your code is in the same batch, and the table is created in that batch. That might...

It's a kludge, but when I really needed it, I simply change the db context to tempdb if the function already exists in the main db, then delete the function...

ISNULL() has its own oddities:
DECLARE @var1 char(1)
SET @var1 = NULL
SELECT ISNULL(@var1, 'N/A') -- Result = 'N'

I'd suggest using COALESCE also, keeping in mind the difference between it and ISNULL in regard to data types.
Given that, in this case you could explicitly CAST the 99 to...

IIRC, partitioned views are allowed in Standard Edition (at least as long as you don't try to update using a distributed partitioned view?).
As I noted first, a truly partitioned table...

Ouch -- partitioning would be ideal for that situation.
Depending on exact circumstances, you might be able to change the current table to be a view that's defined as a concatenation...
