I have created a Linked server through LAN,

SQL

Linked server Name-[DELL-PC]

Here, I'm not able to run this query to select Values from Linked server

SQL

case :1
    select *From  [DELL-PC].[BTS_Server].[dbo].Assy_ProductionOrder_ParameterSetting
    select *From  [DELL-PC].[BTS_Server]..Assy_ProductionOrder_ParameterSetting

it says "Invalid object name 'BTS_Server.dbo.Assy_ProductionOrder_ParameterSetting'."

but if i use openquery, it is working smoothly

SQL

case :2
    select *From openquery([DELL-PC],'Select *From [BTS_Server].[dbo].Assy_ProductionOrder_ParameterSetting ');

How do i access linked server Table like case 1 statements, kindly assist me.

I tried it with dynamic query and it worked for me

SQL

declare @SqlServer  varchar(100)
declare @DatabaseName   varchar(100)

SET @query = @query + ' SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [@SqlServer$].[@DB$].dbo.Table1

SET @query = replace(@query, '@DB$', @DatabaseName)
SET @query = replace(@query, '@SqlServer$', @SqlServer)

I tried this query too

SQL

SELECT * FROM [server].[database].[scheme].[table]

It worked.
