Okay, i am attempting to run a query with a full path inside of it. Such as:

SELECT * FROM [Server\Instance Name].[Database].[Owner].[Table]

The problem is it runs an a query whom eventually times out, and never fully executes. However, if i run:

SELECT * FROM [Database].[Owner].[Table]

It works just fine.... Does anyone have any idea as to why this is? Thanks in advance for your help

Create linked server to [Server\Instance Name] and query via linked server.
