    <p>I'm trying to pull user data from 2 tables, one locally and one on a linked server, but I get the wrong results when querying the remote server.</p> <p>I've cut my query down to</p> <pre><code>select * from SQL2.USER.dbo.people where persId = 475785 </code></pre> <p>for testing and found that when I run it I get no results even though I know the person exists. (persId is an integer, db is SQL Server 2000 and dbo.people is a table by the way)</p> <p>If I copy/ paste the query and run it on the same server as the database then it works.</p> <p>It only seems to affect certain user ids as running for example <br></p> <pre><code>select * from SQL2.USER.dbo.people where persId = 475784 </code></pre> <p>works fine for the user before the one I want.</p> <p>Strangely I've found that</p> <pre><code>select * from SQL2.USER.dbo.people where persId like '475785' </code></pre> <p>also works but </p> <pre><code>select * from SQL2.USER.dbo.people where persId &gt; 475784 </code></pre> <p>brings back records with persIds starting at 22519 not 475785 as I'd expect.</p> <p>Hope that made sense to somebody</p> <p>Any ideas ?</p> <p>UPDATE: Due to internal concerns about doing any changes to the live people table, I've temporarily moved my database so they're both on the same server and so the linked server issue doesn't apply. Once the whole lot is migrated to a separate cluster I'll be able to investigate properly. I'll update the update once this happens and I can work my way through all the suggestions. Thanks for your help.</p>

    2. CODo you get the same results if you use OPENQUERY instead of 4 part names? It would also be helpful to see of script of your linked server add to see which driver your linked server uses to connect.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
