I've used linked servers before to connect to remote data, but I'd like to use ODBC instead. We have a very cross-platform environment here and linked servers don't always behave.

So is it possible to setup an ODBC connection on the SQL server and call to it from a stored procedure? That would solve tons of problems.

Thanks
