Connect to database in Personale Database

I tried to connect to the exiting database (demo one)in the Personal Database, but I could not do it.
Any body know how? SID/database instance? UserID/Password?
Do I need TNSNAMES? ODBC? or what do I need?

What error?
What steps did you perform to get the error?
What version?
What operating system?
Try:
scott/tiger
system/manager
sys/change_on_install
Leave the host field empty.

Can't save BISM file pointing to excel sheet (data source). ErrMsg: "There were errors found while validating the page: Cannot connect to the server or database."

Hi,
Me and a collegue is administrering our new enterprise BI portal in SharePoint 2013 (On Premise) and have a problem with using a specific Excel file including general ledger data as data source through a BISM file.
This particular BISM file can't be saved without getting the error message "There were errors found while validating the page: Cannot connect to the server or database."
BISM files against other Excel sheets and sources (for example SSAS tabular databases) works well.
Can anyone help us pinpointing whats wrong here, this is a really important stakeholder in our organization requesting this reporting?
Cheers!

Error message when trying to connect to a SQL Server Database

All:
I get the following message when I try to connect to a SQL Server Database within a form:
"Connection for Source DataConnection failed because the environment is not trusted"
Can anyone help me solve this problem?
Thanks,
BR

Hi Brian,
In Acrobat, security concerns dictate that you cannot specify an ODBC connection string by using the Driver=; syntax. Therefore, the client computer using the form needs to have a DSN pre-configured for ODBC connections.

How to determine the connection string to a SQLite database, in C# code

Hello. I'm trying to figure out how to specify the connection string to a SQLite database, I would like to access using the following code:
string connectionString = null;
SqlConnection connection;
SqlCommand command;
SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
DataSet ds1 = new DataSet();
string sql = "SELECT DataName, Data, Id, UserId, DateLastUpdated FROM MainTable";
connectionString = "Data Source=C:\\SQLITEDATABASES\\SQLITEDB1.sqlite;Version=3;";
connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
try
connection.Open();
command = new SqlCommand(sql, connection);
catch
The value I assigned to the variable connectionString, in the code above, I obtained somewhere from the Internet. It does not work. I'm using Visual Studio 2013, against the file sqlite-netFx451-setup-bundle-x86-2013-1.0.96.0.exe, which
I installed, and got from
here.
My application's App.config file looks as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
</configSections>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DC_Password_Saver.Properties.Settings.DC_Password_SaverConnectionString" connectionString="data source="C:\Users\patmo_000\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\DC Password Saver\DC Password Saver\DC Password Saver.db"" providerName="System.Data.SQLite.EF6"/>
</connectionStrings>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.1"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
I tried to use the value assigned to connectionString in the XML settings above, replacing single backslash characters with double backslash characters, because the Visual Studio editor flagged them as unrecognizable, and wound up with the
following.
SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
DataSet ds1 = new DataSet();
string sql = "SELECT DataName, Data, Id, UserId, DateLastUpdated FROM MainTable";
connectionString = "data source="C:\\Users\\patmo_000\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2013\\Projects\\DC Password Saver\\DC Password Saver\\DC Password Saver.db"";
connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
The above code however does not work either. So again, does anyone know how I can specify in C# code, a connection string to access my SQLite database? Thanks in advance for your reply.

What does SQLite connection strings has to do with WPF?
You will find some valid connection strings here:
https://www.connectionstrings.com/sqlite/
But you cannot use the SqlConnection class to connect to a SQLite database. You will need to download and add a reference to the System.Data.SQLite library and then use the SQLiteConnection class:
connection = new System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteConnection(connectionString);
try
connection.Open();
command = new System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteCommand(sql, connection);
catch
Please refer to the following article for more information and an example of how to connect and read and write data from an SQLite database using C#:
http://blog.tigrangasparian.com/2012/02/09/getting-started-with-sqlite-in-c-part-one/.
There is contains a link where you can download the required assemblies.
Hope that helps.

Best practise for creating an application that connects to a SQL Server database

I have created an application that connects to a SQL Server database and views information using a datagrid and performs several updates when a button
is selected.
I have created a SQLcontrol.vb using the following code:
Imports System.Data.Sql
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class SQlControl
'connection 1
    Public SQLCon As New SqlConnection With {.ConnectionString
= "Data Source=;Initial Catalog=;Integrated Security=True"}

        Try
            SQLCon.Open()
            sqlcmd = New SqlCommand(query,
SQLCon)
            'LOAD
SQL RECORDS FOR DATAGROD
            sqlda = New SqlDataAdapter(sqlcmd)
            sqldataset = New DataSet

I am fairly new to vb.net and have read a few books and followed a few tutorials on youtube, what I would like to know is, are there any disadvantages
to the way I have connected to a SQL database using the SQLControl.vb. A lot of the vb books include data adapter and dataset within the form, I'm not sure if I'm following best practice by have the connection details outside of the form.
My other question is, I have created two connections in the SQLControl and call these connections within the same form using the same data adapter
and dataset. It all works fine but I just wanted to know of any potential issues?
Public SQLCon As New SqlConnection With {.ConnectionString
= "Data Source=;Initial Catalog=;Integrated Security=True"}
'connection 2
    Public SQLCon1 As New SqlConnection With {.ConnectionString
= "Data Source;Initial Catalog=;Integrated Security=True"}
Thanks

My other question is, I have created two connections in the SQLControl and call these connections within the same form using the same data adapter and dataset. It all works fine but
I just wanted to know of any potential issues
1) You are not using Sepration of concerns for a solution that is doing data access, like using a DAL.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_concerns
2) You are directly issuing SQL commands at the UI, leading to sql injection attacks.
3) You are not using a UI design pattern, which leads you to tightly couple database activity to the UI.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/228214/Understanding-Basics-of-UI-Design-Pattern-MVC-MVP
@System243trd, parameters are important to prevent SQL injection attacks (people will insert SQL commands into the database if you do not perform basic checking of what you are passing to the database). If you write a stored procedure try to make
the variables the correct SQL server data type to avoid problems later of people trying to call it directly.  Darnold924 is right, I see no code to prevent against SQL injection attacks. In addition, during development in some instances LocalSQLDB
database system is used and during deployment you usually need to use the production SQL server database. Moreover, Linq-to-SQL is used on Windows Phone 8.1 and it is required for phone development later and so I highly recommend learning
it if you plan on developing windows phone applications.
@System243trd, If you want the code for the windows phone app I think it uses the MVVM model or that might be for universal apps or regular windows phone apps. I have been using the windows phone Silverlight pivot or panorama template (it might
be pieces of both). I've already submitted to the windows phone marketplace and it had to go through certification first. I plan on later making an article on it but I need to first fix one or two simple problems I have with it. Here's a link to
the source code if you later want to look at the source code (in vb.net):

Problem in OWB: connecting to a non-oracle database

Good day,
i'm working on a windows 32 bit machine,i have Oracle database , OWB 11.2.0.1 installed on it
i'm trying to make OWB connect to a "Sybase" source database on another server , using ODBC
i've tested the connection from SQLPLUS and it's working perfectly
but when i test the connection from OWB locations , it gives me this error:
"ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[OpenLink][ODBC][SQL Server]Statement(s) could not be prepared (0)
{42000}[OpenLink][ODBC][SQL Server]"DUAL" not found. Specify owner.objectname
or use sp_help to check whether the object exists (sp_help may produce lots of
output).
(208) {42S02,NativeErr = 208}
my questions are :
-why would OWB check for DUAL table on a sybase database? is that a bug in OWB?
-can i bypass this step and just import metadata from the sybase source database? (i tried importing,but OWB performs the same test before importing)

Hi Chris,
I haven't tried it, and these are just some of my thoughts, but I
think you would need to load the JDBC driver for the other database
into the Oracle database (using the "loadjava" tool, of-course).
Then your java stored procedure should be able to instantiate the
third party JDBC driver and obtain a connection to the other database.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck,
Avi.

CONNECTING ORACLE 9I OR 10G DATABASE WITH ORACLE 10G FORMS AND REPORTS

pls tell how to connect oracle 9i or 10g database with oracle developer suite 10g . though the forms are getting connected but not running with error as
FRM-10142 the HTTP listner is not running on pls start the listner or check your runtime preferences.
now pls tell how to start listner and how to chage runtime preferences.
though i have worked with oracle 9i and forms 6i where we used to copy the tnsnames.ora from network/admin of oracle to forms 6i tnsnames.ora.
thank you, you may be thinking such a long question.....

sir
By server i mean the computer where oc4j and backend database are running is one one of the client pc not a dedicated server..., these database and 10g dev suite are installed in one of the client machine,
all the clients are using same internet explorer as browser.
no message is being displyed on some of the client machine where these forms are not being uploaded on browser instead it displays as done in status bar without actually showing anything at all...
sir so far as jinitiator or JRE is concered i have seen on the client machine (where my forms are running on internet explorer) a pop up is displyed telling one activex control is required to run this program and click to install it..
after clicking it download jinitiator from server and after installing jinitiator my forms are loaded and start functioning...
what i feel is as i said this machine where oc4j and database is running is one of the client machine so some other clients do not have acess to this machine, so this might be the reason why those clints are not able to run the said forms on the internet explorer.... can it be so... kindly tell..
thank you for your patience for reading the question

Can I connect my form to a database to populate data?

Can I connect my form to a database to populate data?

Hi;
You want to poplulate your form with data from a database, or to populate the database from the form?
There isn't any way to import the data into the form in FormsCentral from a database. To populate and external database from the table on the View Responses tab there are no APIs to do it automatically but you can export to Excel or CSV and then import the Excel or CSV into your database: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1383

Exception Message=Unable to connect to the VMM database because the database is in an inconsistent state.

Hello,
I have a problem with SCVMM 2012 R2, it always gives error when tries to "Run the dynamic optimizer" process. The process starts automatically every 30mins. When I analyzed report.txt file I found error message:Exception Message=Unable
to connect to the VMM database because the database is in an inconsistent state.Contact an experienced SQL administrator whenever this error occurs. In some cases, it may be necessary to restore the VMM database. If the problem persists, contact
Microsoft Help and Support.
NOTE: If I start the process manually, it completes without any errors.
Any help would be appreciated

I'm led to believe this is a bug in UR5 and I think it was a bug in VMM 2012 SP1 RTM.
Our TAM says this will be fixed in UR6. We had to turn off Dynamic optimizer or we could have rolled back to UR4 but there were other bugs in UR4 which hurt us more.

Oracle 11.2 client connecting to Oracle 10.2 databases

I have an application which currently uses 10.2.0.4 Oracle Client to connect to Oracle 10.2 databases using java (jdbc).
Now I have to do setup on another linux server and looking into whether I can use 11.2 Oracle clinet avaiable on tcehnet.oracle.com to connect to
10.2 databases. I will be using jdbc for connectivity.

Maybe showing my ignorance here, but doesn't the application itself have to be written to use the jdbc thin driver?
That would not be typical. A Java application will normally be modular as regards DB connections.
1. The app itself will be written to take an instance of the 'Connection' interface
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/Connection.html
2. The actual 'Connection' instance will be created by a factory method or other application independent code at startup and then passed to the application code.
Just like TNSNAMES.ORA contains the parameters for OCI connections an application will normally use a config file and/or command-line parameters for the JDBC connection parameters.
Naturally, just like everything else, developers can always screw things up by hard coding values. Nothing you can do about that.
See the 'Database URLs and Database Specifiers' section of the JDBC dev guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/java.112/e16548/urls.htm#BEIJFHHB
Database URLs are strings. The complete URL syntax is:
jdbc:oracle:driver_type:[username/password]@database_specifier
Note:
The brackets indicate that the username/password pair is optional.
kprb, the internal server-side driver, uses an implicit connection. Database URLs for the server-side driver end after the driver_type.
The first part of the URL specifies which JDBC driver is to be used. The supported driver_type values are thin, oci, and kprb.
The remainder of the URL contains an optional user name and password separated by a slash, an @, and the
database specifier, which uniquely identifies the database to which the application is connected. Some database specifiers are valid only for the JDBC Thin driver, some only for the JDBC OCI driver, and some for both.
Then there are examples of each driver type in 'Table 8-3 Supported Database Specifiers'
Thin: "jdbc:oracle:thin:scott/tiger@//myhost:1521/myservicename"
See that table 8-3 for the different OCI options.

Connecting SPSS to my oracle database

Hello I am trying to connect my SPSS to our database.
My system includes:
SPSS 14
Oracle 8.17
Windows XP
and now Oracle 10g
(I am not very computer literate, so if you need more info let me know)
I initially did not have Oracle 10g on my computer, but it was suggested I try it out.
I still get an error, but now its a different error.
Before installing 10g, I was using the SPSS OEM 5.0 Oracle driver to try to connect and was getting the following error:
SQL driverconnect failed: Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 127. (SPSS OEM 5.0 Oracle)
Now after I installed 10g, I tried both the SPSS OEM 5.0 Oracle driver and the
Oracle in OraClient10g_home1 driver and I get the following error:
TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have two different tnsnames.ora files.
Which one you use depends on the database you connect to.
The two files are not in sync which is why you are getting this error.
You need to sync them and/or set TNS_ADMIN to the directory of one of those files.
TNS_ADMIN is a string value in the registry in hkey\local_machine\software\oracle

P6 Web Access connection to MS SQL Server database using TCP Dynamic Ports

Hi,
I am attempting to install P6 Web Access. When I run the installation and do the database configuration I am required to input a port number into the Database Host Port field. I do this and no error is displayed graphically, but I get a connection refused error when I look in the web access log.
"com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The TCP/IP connection to the host has failed. java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect "
The dba is running the database on an sql server farm and does not want to apply a static tcp port to the Primavera database as this will interfere with his other databases.
The fact that it appears to be mandatory to input a host database port during database configuration, has me thinking that P6 Web Access requires that the database be set up with a static TCP port? Is this correct?
I searched the documentation about this but came away with nothing...
any help would be truly appreciated.
Andy

At my previous company we experienced a similar issue with P6 Web. Our P6 database was hosted on an Oracle RAC and when configuring the Web connection I was forced to point it to a single RAC server rather then allow it to utilize the cluster. If you have found a resolution to this I would be interested in hearing about it.

"Could not connect to the ConfigMgr site database" problem with SCCM

The scenario is:
- SCCM 2007 SP1 installed on one server
- SQL 2008 installed on the other server
- Console was also installed on the SCCM server.
Everything was working just fine for about three months. As of few days ago, out of nowhere, I cannot open the console at all, it gives me this error:
" The ConfigMgr console could not connect to the ConfigMgr site database. Verify that this computer has network connectivity to the SMS Provider computer and that your user account has Remote Activation permissions on both
the ConfigMgr site server and SMS Provider computers. For more information, see "How to Configure DCOM Permissions for Configuration Manager Console Connections" in ConfigMgr Help. "
I confirmed all permissions (DCOM) and group settings (SMS Admin) and everything looks fine. I also noticed one other thing and I have a feeling its related - I log on to SCCM server and then from there I try to start RDP
connection to SQL server. I can connect, but as soon as I move the mouse or try clicking somewhere it breaks the connection and the "Trying to re-connect" window appears. It can`t establish normal RDP connection. If I try from any other server to SQL, it works
fine...
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
