alter table in Excel linked server-help!!!

Post by IP » Mon, 24 Jun 2002 21:35:28



I have an Excel linked server with some tables in it.
I have an SQLServer 7.0
I can insert new entries into the Excel tables, select and update.
Is it possible to define a new column in the Excel table by an sql command
"Alter table <table> ADD newcolumn int"
I tried the syntax of
"alter table excelserver...table Add newcolumn int"
but it didn't work
 
 
 

1. ALTER TABLE on Linked Server

Hi-
We wish to disable a trigger on a linked server.  The ALTER TABLE statement
raises the error, "...contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The
maximum is 2."  Is there another method short of calling a remote SP on the
linked server?
Thanks,
John
