Connecting to network SQL Server from SQL Developer

Hi All,
I am trying to connect to network SQL Server from SQLDeveloper but I am unable to connect( I am getting could not connect to SQL Server...). I have searched many sites but could not find the solution. I am giving HostName as MachineName\InstanceName and keeping the port as 1433.
Can anyone explain how that connection string should be given.
Thanks.

From help with additional comments
Host Name: Host system for the Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server database.
E.g., sybase.myCompany.org (DNS name or IP address)
Port: TCP/IP Port on which Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server will listen.
As mentioned by others, need to know how server is configured. Common values: 1433, 5000
Retrieve Database: Name of the Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server database.
Once the other data is correct, press this to populate list box and select which database you want associated with this connection. E.g., pixar, pubs2, etc.

  • Able to connect via Oracle SQL Developer, but not sql plus

    Using Oracle 10.2.0.
    I can connect using the TNS connection type in SQL Developer, but cannot do so in SQL PLUS. SQL Plus gives me the error -- could not resolve the connect identifier.
    When I do tnsping USPO_ADHOC, I get:
    C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
    Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
    Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION =
    TNS-12533: TNS:illegal ADDRESS parameters
    So here is my tnsnames.ora file:
    INTL_ADHOC =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.239.162.108)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SID = intl1)
    USSYN_ADHOC =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.239.162.109)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SID = USSYN)
    USPO_ADHOC =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.239.162.107)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SID = uspo)
    Any assistance gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

    I actually did not have that environmental variable, so I added it, but nothing changed.
    I would note that if I do tnsping foo, I get: failed to resolve name.
    If I do tnsping USPO_ADHOC, I get: illegal address parameter.
    In both cases, the output correctly identified the path to my sqlnet.ora file, which is in the same directory as my tnsnames.
    So I would conclude from that, that the system was already able to find my tnsnames file.
    Anyway, here's my sqlnet.ora:
    SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
    NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
    Thanks again for any ideas!

  • Sybase connection tab not showing in New connection option in SQL developer

    Hi,
    I do not see a Sybase connection tab in New connection option in SQL developer 2.1 where as it was available in ver 1.5
    Why is that? how to fix it?

    Hi,
    Have you installed the JTDS JDBC driver yet into SQL Developer.
    This is required before you get the connection tab for SQL Server and Sybase.
    You can install the JTDS driver from the Check For Updates action.

    Did you perhaps do a custom install? The DB software includes a version of sql developer and, by default, installs it in the sqldeveloper folder of the DB_HOME. Does that folder have sql developer in it?
    I suggest that you NOT use the version of sql developer that ships with the database. That version will NOT be the current version.
    Download the current version of SQL Developer, unzip it into a new folder and create a desktop icon for it.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
    The current version includes many, many bug fixes from that earlier DB version and you will have far fewer probems with it.

  • Create connection with Oracle SQL Developer

    Hello,
    my test to connect my Oracle database with SQL*PLUS works. Here I need only the username (I test with system), my password and the hostname (orcl).
    Now I want to create this connection with the SQL Developer.
    Here I need the Port. I don't know the port of my database. How can I find it out?

    Hi, the port must be the used by listener, review the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora file or get the listener status(lsnrctl status) for get the correct port.
    You can try with the default port. (1521).
    Luck.
    Havea good day.
    Regards.

  • Typing letter doesn't skip to connection name in SQL Developer 1.5

    When I open SQL Developer 1.5 and execute a query, a popup window lets me choose a database connection. In SQL Developer 1.2.1 and before, I could type a letter to jump to a specific name, similar to any dropdown menu. However, this doesn't work in SQL Developer 1.5, where I have to mouse click to find the connection. This keyboard functionality was very useful and should be put back. Thanks.

    Yep... ur right... I can confirm this.

  • Is it possible to disable Export connections functionality (Connections view) in SQL developer?

    Hi,
    because of some security reasons, there is a need to disable export connections functionality in SQL developer.
    Is it possible to do this somehow?
    Many thanks,
    Dejan

    Not that I know of.
    Even if we did, they are still stored in a file that most of your users would be able to access.
    You can however disable the ability to save passwords.
    And exporting connections now do not include passwords by default, although you can include them if you supply an additional password.

  • I was wondering if there's a way to connect to my work server from my home iMac i7. I can't seem to get Share Screen to work. I have tried connecting to server using the vnc but doesn't work.

    I was wondering if there's a way to connect to my work server from my home iMac i7. I can't seem to get Share Screen to work. I have tried connecting to server using the vnc but doesn't work.

    The easiest way would be to use Back to My Mac, but that will only work if the server is a Mac running OS X 10.7 or later and you have the cooperation of the network administrator.

  • Connecting to a NT server from another server

    Hello, All. I was wondering If anyone knew the best and more efficient way to connect to a NT server from another server. Once the connection is made I need to be able to execute .cmd file on the NT server.
    Thanks
    Donald

    I doubt if there is a "best" way. Do you want to do this programatically or interactively?
    Interactive methods include:
    Run a terminal server on the NT box and telnet to it.
    Run a webserver on the NT box and create some simple server side script to execute the .cmd
    Programatically:
    Create a simple server to listen on a port, recieve connections, and execute command that are passed. (This is signicantly more arduous than the interactive methods, especially if you want some user authentication).
    Use RMI or CORBA

  • Can't connect to my VPN server from the WAN addres...

    I've setup a PPTP VPN server on a Raspberry Pi, so that I can connect to it when out and about and avoid having my android internet use sniffed by random public wi-fi hotspots.
    It seems to be working as I setup a Windows 7 connection to it using the LAN address (192.168.1.85) and that connected fine but I can't get it to work through the BT HH3 via the WAN address. I've forwarded port 1723 to 192.168.1.85 and tried disabling the firewall, enabling port clamping and putting the RPi in the DMZ, none of which made any difference.
    Is anyone able to help please?

    Did some testing from my parents house yesterday and whilst connected to their router (Virgin Media) and/or a local BTWiFi hotspot (I can't honestly remember if I tried both or if I only tested with one or the other), I was able to connect to the VPN Server from my phone.
    I can also connect from my home PC using Putty to the VPN Server on SSH (port 22) with that forwarded in the router using the WAN address, so NAT travesal doesn't seem to be an issue.
    Yet I still can't connect to the VPN Server from home, whether connected to my HH3 or a local BTWiFI-with-FON hotspot, using the WAN address, only the LAN address, which doesn't make any sense to me.
    I don't think it's relevant to this problem but I want to ask a question about the router firewall as the description for Default (which is what I have enabled) says "Allow all outgoing connections and block all unsolicited incoming traffic. Games and application sharing is allowed." but it doesn't appear to block unsolicited incoming traffic as otherwise I don't think I'd have been able to connect to the VPN Server from my parent's house, or on SSH from my PC using the WAN address. So is the description incorrect?

    Is it possible to connect to 10g oracle server from 9i client or Should i install 10g client on my machine?

    Depend of what releases you are talking about.

  • TNS connection in Oracle SQL Developer

    We have been using TNS connections in SQL Developer. Today we moved a database to a new server but still used the same TNS alias in tnsname.ora file for the database. However, the tns connections in SQL Developer shows this alias still points to the old database host server, therefore unable to connect. There is only one tnsnames.ora file on my PC and I have TNS_ADMIN set up to point to it. But it seems to me SQL Developer does not read this altered alias, but used some kind of "cached" alias which points to the old host. If I add a new alias in tnsnames.ora file, it reads correctly. But it does not refresh an existing alias.
    So how is this "Network Alias" dropdown list populated? Even after I delete tnsnames.ora file, the drop down list still not changed. How do I reinitialize this list?

    Hi,
    You should try and search SQLDeveloper help for TNS, that would give you some clues.
    The list for selecting a network alias is initially filled from the tnsnames.ora file on your system, if that file exists.
    Connections are stored in IDEConnections.xml.
