The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SQL Server: Error in my sp_executesql

Asked by moosetracker in SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008

Tags: got similar setup working in exec but...

SQL 2005...
So Just got a linked server working. I found the nice  reference of
linkedServer.catalog.schema.table doesn't work (someone said it doesn't for some DB's and it doesn't like either the catalog or the schema.. But the catalog I got from our vendor and the schema is displayed with the list of tables in the linked server.

So I am forced to use Openquery.. I got a simple Open Query to work, then immediately tryed to add a where with a Parameter.. And have been researching that for half a day.. I got two ways
one using the EXEC  which works.. the other using the sp_executesql which does not..

The setup of the Select is copy & paste the exact same except that the EXEC adds the Variable directly into the string and the sp_executesql  is trying to work with parameters..

Does anyone see anything I am doing wrong? Or is it again the fact I have such a poor DB that I have the priviledge to work with???
