Thank you very much for your help. Does the procedure that is mentioned in the link you provided to us in your answer works as Mysql being the main server. In other words if we have to make the connection to the path of the data base do we make it in this case to SQL or mysql since both are on different servers.
Thank you again.
SELECT * FROM <MySQLLinkedServerName>&<Tabl
You may need to use the MySQL reference to go that way. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/r

There is a new engine for MySQL called Federated Storage Engine that is build exactly with this purpose in mind, to access remote databases. I've never used it, I don't even know if it is out yet as my research on the subject stopped at some point. Here is the link:

Keep in ming though that this engine is to be used ONLY with remote MySQL servers.
The answer to your question is that there is no method outthere at this moment to access a MS-SQL server as a linked server from a MySQL server.

1. Load the MySQL ODBC driver ucts/conne ctor/odbc/ ) on the server with
---------- --- ma.TableNa me ---------- ---
(http://www.mysql.com/prod
your SQL Server.
2. From there add an ODBC call to the MySQL server.
3. Create a link from the SQL server to the MySQL server. Google sp_addlinkedserver.
4. Depending on the user id (and other issues), from there you should be able to do
--------------------------
SELECT *
FROM MyLinkedServer.DBName.Sche
--------------------------
There may be restriction on the rest of what you can do.
Note that you really only want to change data from one server only. It is the "master" of the data. All sorts of conflicts if changing from both.
