ODBC Driver error using SQL Server 2005 linked server

edited Dec 3, 2019 3:47PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 4 comments

Trying to setup a SQL Server 2005 linked server to the NetCRM database using the ODBC driver.

I installed the SSL and ODBC components according to the NS instructions, I then created a linked server in a SQL Server 2005 database using the following syntax:

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server='NETCRM',
@srvproduct='NetSuite.com',
@provider='MSDASQL',
@datasrc='NetSuite.com',
@provstr='Database=NetSuite.com;Uid=xxxxxx@xxx.com;Pwd=xxxxxx'

When I attempt to query small views its slow but works fine (example administrator.browser ~ 20 rows, takes 11 seconds to return a select *). However, whenever I attempt to query the transactions views the query runs for about 20 - 30 minutes then returns the following error:

Howdy, Stranger!
