[dba-SQLServer] SQL Server linked to Teradata

Given that OpenQuery is a return set statement, maybe doing something like:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(LinkedServer, 'Drop Table TableName; SELECT * FROM
DBC.TABLES WHERE TABLENAME = TableName ;'
Ideally you should be running something like the equivalent of Select
@@Error that way you can get a confirmation, of what occurred on the
TeraData system.
