Hi everybody,

I need somebody to help my case.

First I create addlinkedserver:

SQL

sp_addlinkedserver 
@server = 'dbDev', 
@srvproduct = '', 
@provider = 'MSDASQL',
@provstr = 'DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=121.12.1.34;UID=xxx;PWD=xxx!;' Provider_string

then i query script below:

SQL

select * from dbDev.DbData.dbo.user

this is successfull query,

What I want to ask is:
1. can I update sp_addlinkedserver example i want to update @server=dbDev to dbProd and @provstr?

2. can I delete sp_addlinkedserver i have made?

thank you.

You can delete a linked server definition using sp_dropserver and then recreate again instead of updating.

you can edit the details by using SQL Server Enterprise Manager
