What are the uses of linked server and explain it in detail?..

Answer / Dharmendra Kumar Bharti

A linked server is a feature in SQL Server that allows you to access data from other databases or data sources as if they were local tables. This can be useful for integrating data from multiple sources, such as different databases or Excel files. Here's an overview of how it works:
1. Create the linked server: You define a linked server object that provides the connection information to the remote database.
2. Create a linked server login: You create a login for the remote server, which is used to authenticate the connection.
3. Create views or stored procedures on the local server: You create views or stored procedures that reference the linked server as a source of data.
4. Query the linked server: When you run your query, SQL Server sends the request to the linked server and retrieves the results.
