Create SQL Linked Server to Access Database

Sometimes, you need to query Access database directly in SQL Server. In that case, you can create a linked server between SQL Server and Access by using this query.

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'AccessNorwind',
@provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@srvproduct = 'OLE DB Provider for Jet',
@datasrc = 'D:\AccessDatabase\NWind.mdb'

After creating, you can run query like this:
SELECT *
FROM AccessNorwind...Orders
