Hi Everyone,

Need help on using sub queries with linked openquery

Trying to query two different servers such as

select *
from linked1.test..names
where fname in (select fname from employees where active = 1)

The above will get results but will download the thousands of records and waste resources. I am trying below with openquery but cannot get it to work. Can someone assist?

Select * from OpenQuery (linked1, 'Select * from test..names where in ' (select fname from employees where active = 1) ')

What is the best way to accomplish the above?

[code]
select *
from linked1.test..names l
inner join employees e
on e.fname = l.fname
and e.active = 1
[/code]
