Connecting to local SQL database

I have tried everything to connect to a SQL database which is
located on the same machine I'm using for development. Is there any
special way of doing this. I tried to create a new connection in
every way possible and I can't seem to be able to establish a
connection. i would appreciate your input with this problem.
Thank you,
Marequi

And posting your connection string would be helpful.

What's a better connection to an SQL database? ODBC or OLE DB

NEw user here, but what would be a preferred way of connecting to my SQL database? So far I have option of using ODBC (RDO) connection or OLE DB(ADO) connection. I'm not sure what the differences or when to use one or the other.
Thanks

I like OLE DB for the simply because it's "portable". With OLE DB the connection info is stored in the report. With ODBC, the report is using a system dsn connection. It means that if you want to send it to another user / computer, you also have to make sure the other computer has the same ODBC connection.
In terms of performance... I've used both and have never seen a difference.

Query regarding connecting dashboards with SQL DATABASE using WSDT

Hello Sir,
I am trying to connect dashboards with Sql database via WSDT, but i have encountered the same problem as described in your SAP community blog (SAP Web Service Design Tool: From web service creation to Xcelsius consumption).
when i tried connecting CR server with WSDT ,it still shows that total number of available licenses is 0.
What can be done to solve this issue.
for your detail reference, we are using CRS NUL version's 60 days Evaluation keys and same with Xcelsius Departmental edition.
I would really appreciate, if you revert back to my mail as soon as possible

Which version of Crystal Reports are you using? The regular ReportDocument SDK probably isn't robust enough to handle this, unless you create a connection using that connection string at design-time which you don't change at runtime. You might be able to add those properties using the in-proc RAS SDK, though. This is available with CRXI R2 as of SP2, and CR2008.

Applet connecting to MS SQL Database (Remote DataSourse)

Hello,
I started by building my interface to a Database within an Application. I am not to the point where I am ready to make it an applet but want to get some tips when the time comes very soon.
First of all what security issues do I have to deal with to let the applet connect to the database?
Second I currently created a local Datasource via ODBC call JavaDB and linked it to my MS SQL Database.
QUESTION
How do I link to the with a remote Datasource so that the local machine does not have to worry about the datasource.
Lastly can I use the "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" in an applet. I sure hope so...
Then the part of my code that connected to the database was this:
private void initDB(){
String url = "jdbc:ODBC:JavaDB";
Connection con;
String query = "select * from COFFEES";
Statement stmt;
try {
//Class.forName("myDriver.ClassName");
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
} catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
try {
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, DBADM, DBPWD);
stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
System.out.println("");
int numberOfColumns = rsmd.getColumnCount();
for (int i = 1; i <= numberOfColumns; i++) {
 if (i > 1) System.out.print(", ");
 String columnName = rsmd.getColumnName(i);
 System.out.print(columnName);
System.out.println("");
while (rs.next()) {
 for (int i = 1; i <= numberOfColumns; i++) {
 if (i > 1) System.out.print(", ");
 String columnValue = rs.getString(i);
 System.out.print(columnValue);
 System.out.println("");
stmt.close();
con.close();
} catch(SQLException ex) {
System.err.print("SQLException: ");
System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
Thanks,
Kenny

Kenny,
As no one has replied, I've managed to implement a database that uses applets.
Firstly, one needs to obtain a JSP server (apache tomcat is free and can be configured into a IIS 4 server).
Secondly, write all the DB connection stuff within a jsp page (ex.) "builders.jsp"
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%!
protected String driver="sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
protected String url="jdbc:odbc:PhotoDBase";
protected String userid=null;
protected String passwd=null;
%>
<html><head><title>Builder Example</title></head><body>
<%!
public static String GET_BUILDER_QUERY =
"SELECT * FROM BuilderInfo WHERE BuilderID =?";
%>
<%
String bID = "24"; //normally this would use
//request.Parameter("bID");
//in order to pull up a specific
//record. In this test case it is
//hard coded to pull only builder #24
%>
<%
Class.forName(driver);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, userid, passwd);
PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(GET_BUILDER_QUERY);
stmt.setString(1, bID);
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
rs.next();
 String buildID = rs.getString("BuilderID");
 String bName = rs.getString("BuilderName");
 String bAddress = rs.getString("Address");
 String bCity = rs.getString("City");
 String bState = rs.getString("State");
 String bZip = rs.getString("Zip");
 String bCName = rs.getString("ContactName");
 String bCLast = rs.getString("ContactLast");
 String bPhone = rs.getString("Phone");
 String bFax = rs.getString("Fax");
 String bMobile = rs.getString("Pager/Cell");
rs.close();
stmt.close();
if (bName == null)
 bName = "No Builder";
if (bAddress == null)
 bAddress = "N/A";
if (bCity == null)
 bCity = "N/A";
if (bState == null)
 bState = "N/A";
if (bZip == null)
 bZip = "N/A";
if (bCName == null)
bCName = "N/A";
if (bCLast == null)
 bCLast = "N/A";
if (bPhone == null)
 bPhone = "N/A";
if (bFax == null)
bFax = "N/A";
if (bMobile == null)
bMobile = "N/A";
%>
Builder: <%= bName%> BuilderID #: <%= buildID%>
 Contact: <%= bCName%> <%= bCLast%>
 Address: <%= bAddress%>
 <%= bCity%>, <%= bState%> <%= bZip%>
 Phone: <%= bPhone%>

<applet code="Build.class" width="600" height="300">

</applet>
</body>
</html>
The jsp gets the data from the DB based on the parameter bID which would be passed to it via a search or input page with various error checking included.
The applet then recieves its data via parameters. (Build.class has been shortened here to show you the meat and potatoes of the whole deal)

Need help connecting a MS Sql Database in CF Administrator

Good morning,
I`m hoping someone out there can help me.
I simply want to add a MS SQL datasource within Coldfusion Administrator.
I have connected to it successfully with Sql Server Management Studio, using Windows Authentication.
I`m assuming I need to use Windows Authentication to connect within Coldfusion Administrator
How do I fill out these fields then:
because I am getting this error:
Connection verification failed for data source: test
java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Unknown host: local
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Unknown host: local
I have also tried it with localhost as opposed to local.
Please help?
Thanks;
Rhonda

I believe you DON'T.
ColdFusion, by default, does not run as any type of user that would work with Windows Authentication. It can be set up to do so, through the windows services panel. You configure the ColdFusion service(s) to "Log On As" some windows domain account with the desired permissions. This is normally done to allow CFML code to access network resources for file operations and the like.
But, I don't know if that is good enough for a connection to a SQL server. I've never had to deal with it myself (I have operations and database administrators types who deal with this for me). But I have read many many times on forums like this that the default security configuration of SQL server does not work with ColdFusion. That one has to set up an alternate configuration in SQL, TCP/IP I think?

Can No Longer Connect to Azure SQL Databases

As of this morning, I am no longer to connect to any of my Azure SQL databases by any (apparent) means. I checked the configuration in the azure portal and my IP address is listed as an allowed IP, however:
I am unable to connect via SQL Server Management Studio
My request times out when attempting to visit https://{server_name}.database.windows.net
What might have caused this?

Hi ,
Thanks for posting here.
To resolve the issue you can try the following steps (in that order):
                Check the application’s connection string to make sure that it is correctly configured. For example, make sure that the connection string specifies the correct port
(1433) and the fully qualified server name.
Note You can follow these steps to obtain the connection string from the Azure Management Portal:
                      Log on to the
Azure Management Portal.
                      In the left navigation pane, click
SQL Databases.
                      Select your Azure SQL Database server.
                      Click
Dashboard.
                      On the right side, go to the
quick glance section, and then click Show connection strings.
                Make sure that TCP IP is enabled as a client protocol on the application server. For more information on how to do this, see
Configure client protocols. On application servers where you do not have SQL Server tools installed, you can check this by running cliconfg.exe (SQL Server Client Network Utility).
                Test the connectivity between the application server and the Azure SQL database by using a UDL file, ping, and telnet. For more information about how to do this,
see
Azure SQL Database connectivity troubleshooting guide and
Troubleshooting SQL Server connectivity issues.
Note As a troubleshooting step, you can also try to test the connectivity on a different client computer.
                Try increasing the connection
timeout. Microsoft recommends using a connection timeout of at least 30 seconds.
                As a best practice ensure retry logic is in place. For more information about the retry logic, see
Azure SQL Database best practices to prevent request denials or connection termination.
              If the previous steps do not resolve your problem, follow these steps to collect more data and contact support:
                  If your application is a cloud service, enable the logging. This step returns a UTC time stamp of the failure. Additionally, SQL Azure returns the tracing
ID.
Microsoft Customer Support Services can use this information.
                  For more information about how to enable the logging, see
how to enable diagnostic logging for Azure Web sites and Developing SQL Database Applications section in
Azure SQL Database Development Considerations.
Please write back with the exact Error message/ Error Code if this doesn't help.

Cannot Connect to Azure SQL Database in Visual Studio 2013

Beyond Frustrated here.
I am trying to connect to an Azure SQL database - it has been created, has tables etc. I am trying to create a new Data Connection from within Visual Studio 2013, latest release for VS and Azure. I continue to receive the following error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)
I have ensured that TCP is allowed and above Named Pipes in the Configuration Manager. The associated IP address is allowed on Azure Firewall. Certificate has been added to VS etc. But still no connection. I can see the database in the Azure section in Server
Explorer, but cannot add a Data Connection. What is equally as frustrating is I have a MacBook Pro running Win 7 sitting right next to my office computer and it can access Azure fine, not problems.
If anyone has any other ideas on how I might be able to solve this I would love to hear them. Thanks in advance.
Jeff

Hi,
The Error message "   A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is
configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53) "
The issue comes up mainly because the application is not able to connect to the server.

Hi Affar2k,
According to your description, we need to verify if there is no network issue and the Sqlclient version is older than .NET 4.5. You can try to connect to the Windows Azure SQL database via SSMS and check if it can run well. When you
connect to the SQL Azure database via ADO.NET, you need to verify that the server name and passwords are right in the connection string.
For more information, you can review the following article about how to connect to Windows Azure SQL Database using ADO.NET.

Connecting to Azure SQL database in Access 2010

I've recently purchased a new computer and I had an OBDC connection set up to link to a sql database in azure through access. I am trying to set it up on my new computer but I'm unable to define the specific database. I'm able to make the connection but
it only allows me into the master database. I've added my IP address in the configure servers but still can't get things to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Lynn

Hi,
The following guidelines apply to SQL Database connections using ODBC:
• When using SQL Server Native Client from SQL Server 2008 R2 or SQL Server 2008, the connection string must include the server name as part of the user name (user@server).
• You must use TCP/IP as the protocol when connecting to an Azure SQL Database.
• You cannot create a table in the master database, so therefore you must create a user database to create a table.
• You cannot execute a use database command to switch to your user database. You must disconnect and connect directly to the user database.
• You must have a primary key or clustered index on your table to be able to insert data.

How to connect to Azure SQL database remotely (SharePoint 2013 BI)

Hi,
I am new to using Azure VM's and I am looking for advice. I have created and can connect to an Azure VM with a SQL Server 2012 installed on it (includes SSAS and SSRS). I connect to the VM using Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection.
The problem I am having is connecting to the Azure database from a SharePoint BI site. Are there any good videos or websites that demonstrate how to setup an Azure VM so a user can access a database remotely.
I hope you can help.
ATaylor

Hello,
To connect to the SQL Server Database from another computer, you must know the Domain Name System (DNS) name of the Azure virtual machine. For example: DNSName,portnumber such as SQLVM.cloudapp.net,57500.
(Note: The port number is the public endpoint port which you can configure in the management portal for TCP communication with SQL Server on Azure VM.)
As for datasource credentials, you can use a SQL Server authentication login: create a SQL Server login with password on the SQL Server instance.

Local SQL Database & Labview communication

I created an sql database with sql server 2008 R2. I wish to be able to insert data to this database locally. Can someone please tell me if this can be done, and if it is possible, could someone give me the steps I have to follow?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Another source of information would be a 3 part series on databases (check the link in my signature). The process is largely the same regardless of the DBMS you are accessing.
With SQL Server you will need a user I'd and password. Did you install the SQL Server yourself?

Question on InfoView Multiple Connections opening on SQL Database

Hi, we are using Business Objects XI Release 2 and I am having an ODBC issue to a SQL 2005 database. I have a Crystal XI report that contains 2 parameters and selects roughly 100,000 rows of data and summarizes the data to 1 page. In Crystal Developer it runs fine in several seconds. Within Infoview it runs fine if I do a schedule now and select the parameters. The Issue is if I click on the published report, update the parameters, it then starts to run and run. Looking at the database it opens roughly 32 connections and just keeps opening and closing connections. Since I am invoking infoview through a url it is running on the same server that I can schedule on. I am not sure where or what the problem is, why so many connections open and the report never finishes. Also the connections are bogging down the SQL Database due to high CPU utilization. Any help/insight/explanations would be appreciated.
Thank You

Thanks for the response, see my responses in Italics,
If you try to run the report with multiple connections are you facing this problem, or else is it for all reports.
I am not trying to run for multiple connections intentionally? Is there a setting in the report itself or on the console that could be doing this?
Have tried to run the report other than the same machine where you have sever installed.
I have run the report from 2 different viewers which reside on different machines, both separate from the
database. If I run from Crystal Developer on a desktop it is fine. Also if I schedule in the viewer it is fine. It seems like when I run on demand (not sure if my terminology is correct).
Also try with remote connection to logon to your server and try to run the report and observe if there is any specific error.
I am executing a url that is on the server where Business Objects is installed.

Naveen.
