DBMS: Pass-Through Query (Definitions)

"A query that is passed uninterpreted to an external server for evaluation. The result set returned by a pass-through query can be used in the FROM clause of a query like an ordinary base table." (Microsoft Corporation, "SQL Server 7.0 System Administration Training Kit", 1999)

"A query that is passed through uninterrupted to an external database engine." (Marilyn Miller-White et al, "MCITP Administrator: Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005 Optimization and Maintenance 70-444", 2007)

"An SQL-specific query you use to send commands directly to an ODBC database server." (Microsoft, "SQL Server 2012 Glossary", 2012)
