Multiple catalogs search

[Jerry C]

This is about the same subject as the previous post but I am trying it
differently.

I just create a list of the servers I want to search run the queries and
then merge the data sets from each query. But I want to put the name of the
machine in the query string like this.

select 'cdxyz' as computer, filename, path, size, write, attrib,
characterization from cdxyz.System..FILEINFO_ABSTRACT where filename like
'%text%' order by rank desc


I have everything working but when I put in the "'cdxyz' as computer" I get
a error.

Incorrect syntax near ''cdxyz''. Expected '*', ALL, CREATE, ID.
SQLSTATE=42000

Thank you,

Hi Jerry,

I'm in the process of building a test and will update you with the
conclusion. Please wait for my follow up.

Have a good weekend.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang

Hi Jerry,

I've confrimed with our IS team. The AS keyword isn't a supported keyword
for our OLEDB provider.

SQL Queries and SQL Extensions

ml/ixrefqls_3wj7.asp?frame=true

If you check the instruction on MSDN above, you will see it isn't listed
above as well.

So I'd suggest you expand the data set in your code to add the computer
name field manually. Or please refer to Hilary's suggestion to try using an
union query.

Please update here if you have further question.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang
