Explanation

The error typically occurs when there's an issue with the query passed to the Open Query statement.

User action

Review the following potential causes and recommended solutions for this error.

OPENQUERY doesn't return a result set

  • Use four-part names (linked_server_name.catalog.schema.object_name) to perform insert, update, or delete operations.
  • Reference the OPENQUERY function as the target table of an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement, depending on the capabilities of the OLE DB provider, as documented in the Examples section of "OPENQUERY (Transact-SQL)."

The OLEDB provider for a pass-through query returns zero columns

  • Examine and correct the pass-through query text to ensure it returns valid columns from the remote data source.
  • Execute the pass-through query directly against the remote data source using the client tools provided for that data source and ensure at least one valid column is returned. For examples of pass-through queries, see OPENQUERY (Transact-SQL).
  • Use a four-part linked server query as an alternative linked_server_name.database.schema.object.

The first line in the query is a comment

  • Move the comment to the end of the query or procedure.
