"Test Linked Server Connection" feature says successful when it is not. -
Description
"Test Linked Server Connection" feature states successful, but it is not.
Went to Object Explorer | Server Objects tab | Linked Servers and created a linked server. Tested it with the "Test Linked Server Connection" feature, and everything works fine.
However, after hours trying to find a bug implicating the new linked server, it was realized that there was a typo in the datasource. Purposely created a bad linked server, and tested it on SQL Server Management Studio and it fails. But if tested on Toad, and it says it's successful.
