Hi All,
I want to get the database from my remote server for tablea using the link server by executing the following sql statement on my local server:
select * from link-server.mydatabase.dbo.tablea

The errror message return back is:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '-'.

What is the problem? Can I select the data from my remote server using the link server?
Thank
JP
