This article provides details for setting up an AcuXDBC database as a MSSQL Linked Server.
There is a need to access the AcuXDBC database through MSSQL Server. How is that accomplished?
One method is to import the data using the MSSQL Server Data Transformation Services (DTS). However, the preferred method is to set up a Linked Server, which provides access to the live data rather than the snapshot created by importing.
