Link Server's alternate

I have a requirement to write some sp's which will retrieved rows from two different server. I do not want to use Link server or open query. Is there any other way? My plan is to create two different sp in different server and then access both in data in front end and from front end i will w开发者_如何转开发rite the logic. I think it will be complicated.

We are now migrating some part of one vb 6 application to .net. The database for vb 6 is sql 2000 and it will be in one server. In .net the database will be in sql 2008. Now we have created some tables in sql server 2008 which were avilable in sql 2000. We need to call same sp's of the vb application from .net. now because of some table has been changed from sql server 2000 to 2008 i am getting problem. Please suggest. Let me know if you clearly understood the requirement.

Unless I'm mistaken, you have two choices here, assuming you want to make these calls from a stored procedure:

1. Use Linked Servers (which you don't want to do)

2. Write your stored procedures as CLR procedures and create your own database connections in your C# (or VB.NET) CLR code.
