How to create MySQL Link Server in SQL Server 2012

Workbench is a free tool for MySQL but it is collection of issues in working environment. So I came back on SQL Server management studio. But think if our requirement is something like what , data will be at same place in MySQL and we have to access from SQL Server. Then we can use SQL Server's  Server object’s Link serverToday I am going to share 7 steps how I have made linked server from SQL Server to MySQL. 



1st Ensure that we have MySQL Connector/ODBC 5.2 is installed. To verify check Control panel, if it is not then download and installed.



2nd Now open ODBC Connection Manager Window from control panel/Administrator Tool and ODBC Data Source. I have been selected 64 bit because my system is 64 bit platform.



3rd Now Add New Data Source Name, Server name, Port and Credentials. Then Check by Test option, is everything is all right. If all is OK then click on ok and just close this window.


4th Now Go to SQL Server and drill-down the Server object. We will see Linked Server. Just right click and choose New Linked Server.

5th Now Create Link server by Filling required information like below: give appropriate server name, provider as given, Product name, Data Source Name and Provider string and we can also give catalog. Linked Server name I have given XXX and Data-source name will be XYZ, which i gave created earlier from ODBC Connection manager.


6th Now give the Remote Login and Credential in Next Tab of window.


Or 
we can also use below script to create Linked Server


USE [master]
GO

/****** Object:  LinkedServer [XXX]    Script Date: 26-11-2014 15:20:54 ******/
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'XXX', @srvproduct=N'MySQL', @provider=N'MSDASQL', @datasrc=N'xyz', @provstr=N'DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 5.2 Driver};SERVER=xx.xx.1.xx;PORT=3306;DATABASE=xxxxxx; USER=suman;PASSWORD= Blue@123;OPTION=3;', @catalog=N'xxxx'
 /* For security reasons the linked server remote logins password is changed with ######## */
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'XXX',@useself=N'False',@locallogin=NULL,@rmtuser=N'suman',@rmtpassword='########'


EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'XXX', @optname=N'collation compatible', @optvalue=N'false'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'XXX', @optname=N'data access', @optvalue=N'true'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'XXX', @optname=N'dist', @optvalue=N'false'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'XXX', @optname=N'pub', @optvalue=N'false'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'XXX', @optname=N'rpc', @optvalue=N'false'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'XXX', @optname=N'rpc out', @optvalue=N'false'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'XXX', @optname=N'sub', @optvalue=N'false'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'XXX', @optname=N'connect timeout', @optvalue=N'0'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'XXX', @optname=N'collation name', @optvalue=null
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'XXX', @optname=N'lazy schema validation', @optvalue=N'false'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'XXX', @optname=N'query timeout', @optvalue=N'0'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'XXX', @optname=N'use remote collation', @optvalue=N'true'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'XXX', @optname=N'remote proc transaction promotion', @optvalue=N'true'

7th After that we will see the Linked server created as below …

8th Now run below query to select record from sql server to mysql using link server.

select * from openquery(xxx,'select * from DB.TABLE')

How to encrypt and decrypt Table data in postgres

For encrypting and decrypting , we must use the bytea data type on the column which we implement. Bcoz bytea will use the pgcrypto method by default. However, you will need to create the pgcrypto extension to enable these functions as they are not pre-defined in PostgreSQL/PPAS. Example CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto; CREATE TABLE userinfo (username varchar(20), password bytea); >>    Inserting the data in an encrypted format INSERT INTO userinfo VALUES(' suman ',encrypt('111222','password','aes')); select * from userinfo ; >>    Retrieving the data as decrypted format SELECT decrypt(password,decode('password','escape'::text),'aes'::text) FROM userinfo; Thanks for reading Plz dont forget to like Facebook Page.. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sql-DBAcoin/523110684456757

SQL71562: external references are not supported when creating a package from this platform

Last week I got this error from one of developer who was trying to deploy his project from Testing server to SQL Azure QA server. He was using “Deploy Database to SQL Azure” option from SSMS Tool-Task option. After connecting to SQL Azure portal when operation started to deployment below errors occurs. Validation of the schema model for data package failed. Error SQL71562: Error validating element xx.xxx.xx:function .dbo.xxx has an unresolved refrence to object xx.dbo.xxxx external refrences are not supported when creating a package from this platform . Reason: The reason of the this error was; some functions of project was dependent on master database and only single database was being deploy to SQL Azure. DACFx must block Export when object definitions (views, procedures, etc.) contain external references, as Azure SQL Database does not allow cross-database external references So, this error was coming. Solution : I suggested him to create those function to locally
