The server details are as follow:</p> <p>RDBMS: MS SQL 2016 Express Host: Amazon AWS/RDS Free Tier</p> <p><strong>Details/History of the Problem</strong> A few months ago, I created a db instance on Amazon AWS and at the time of creation, the 'master/admin' account was setup via the AWS/RDS web page. With this 'admin' account, I have created several databases on that instance without any problems.</p>https://am2.co/2019/10/07/linked-server-from-sql-server-on-aws-rds-to-on-premises-ms-sql-server-database/Mon, 07 Oct 2019 07:17:18 -0400https://am2.co/2019/10/07/linked-server-from-sql-server-on-aws-rds-to-on-premises-ms-sql-server-database/<p><a href="https://dba.stackexchange.com/q/250409/52344"><img src="https://am2.co/images/stack-exchange-question-mark.svg" alt="Question on Stack Exchange" width="96" height="96" class="stack-exchange-question-icon" /></a></p> <h2 id="question">Question</h2> <p>We are planing to migrate an on-premises SQL Server db to AWS RDS SQL Server. My only concern is how can I create a linked server from AWS RDS SQL Server to on-premises SQL Server db? Is it possible? I am checking it because there are many views using linked server to other on-premises dbs.</p>
