| Is there a way I can query another server (in a stored procedure)Like i'm on server yyyy and I want to query server xxxx.dbo.mydb.users is this possible? I assume I would have to pass the user credentials somewhere in the query but where? |

| As we want to access the data from other server.First we need to create Linked server using sp_addlinkedserver syntax.After successfully creating the linked server we can write a query like this and get the data.For Eg: SELECT *FROM LinkedServer.DatabaseName.dbo.TableName. |

| if its for an adhoc access you can use OPENDATASOURCE which does not require setting up a linked server connection. |
