In a Visual Studio SQL Server Database project, how can you resolve the errors associated with linked server references within the project?
1 Open SQL Server Management Studio, navigate to the Object Explorer pane, and select Server Objects > Linked servers > Providers. 2 Right-click mrOledb. Provider and select Properties. 3 Select allow in process, and then click OK.
Linked servers enable the SQL Server Database Engine and Azure SQL Managed Instance to read data from the remote data sources and execute commands against the remote database servers (for example, OLE DB data sources) outside of the instance of SQL Server.
In SQL Server management Studio click right on the linked server, choose "Script Linked Server as' then choose 'DROP and CREATE to' and then "New Query Editor Window'. You can now adjust any settings that you want to adjust in the script and then run it. The existing linked server will be dropped and a new one created.
You can check each one by going into SQL Server Management Studio, Server Objects, Linked Servers. Right-click on each server and look at its security information.
