Now I have to use a Linked Server from the DB I earlier used to fecth data. The syntax I'm using is Select * From [1.1.1.1.].MyDB.dbo.MyTable Now I'm neither getting a result nor an error. Can someone help me on this? Any workarounds ? Any functions that can help me get what is stopping the data to come by?
