How to Database Connection from Windows 8.1

Hi, I am a newbee with SQL from Windows Azure.
Is it possible to see the Azure SQL server in my Windows Explorer browser? Or how to connect to this newly created database from my application. I would like to store the database in the cloud..
I have installed on my local PC a administration software package. Also installed on another PC the sql express version of SQL.
But wanted to use the database from Azure instead of my on-premmis sql server.
Please can some help me out with this?
Regards,
Rense Prakken

Hello Rense,
There are many tutorials/online documentation available which can guide you as how to connect to a SQL Azure DB from your application. I'm providing you some basic as well as how to articles which you can go through.
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-get-started/
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee336282.aspx
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-dotnet-how-to-use/
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-manage-azure-ssms/
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee336243.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee621781.aspx
You also had a question if you can see the Azure SQL DB in your Windows Explorer. The answer to this question
is NO, but you can certainly see your Azure SQL Database in the Object Explorer in the SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio).
Hope this helps.
Thanks and regards...

Problem connecting DataBase Link from windows oracle to oracle on Linux

I'm facing a problem with database links from windows oracle to Oracle hosted on Linux server.
I'm able to successfully create the Database Link using the following query on oracle database hosted on a windows server
CREATE DATABASE LINK SampleDB
CONNECT TO myuser IDENTIFIED BY password
USING 'sample';
The tns names entry on windows for database in Linux server is as follows
DSOFT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.100)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = sample)
But while executing the query "select count(*) from doctor@SampleDB;" in sql developer on windows, I'm getting the following error
SQL Error: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
12154. 00000 - "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
*Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using
a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a
net service name then the net service name could not be found in a
naming method repository, or the repository could not be
located or reached.
Using the above tns entries, i'm successfully able to connect to the database in Linux server through sql developer installed on the windows machine. Then why i'm getting this error while executing the query on Database Link?. Can any one help me?

Then why i'm getting this error while executing the query on Database Link?. Can any one help me?A database link is acting as a client to the target, remote database in exactly the same fashion and using exactly the same tns infrastructure as any other client trying to connect to that remote database. your ORA-12154 when querying a db link means exactly the same as if you had gotten it trying to connect with sqlplus, from the same server. Check the link SB provided. Keep in mind that the tnsnames file of concern is the one on the source database server.

Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine

Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine...
I tried to install driver on connecting PC, i tried to install printer as Local printer with local port - \\WIN7-32bit\HP PSC 1310 Series\ - and i got access denied, and before i reinstall Windows on 64Bit machine its worked correctly... anyone know how to solve this problem ?
*Edited*
When i connect it on 64 Bit machine printer requesting driver *.inf and not specific file...
i try to install 64bit driver on 32 bit machine in sharing options and they didn't support it...

More than likely, you are receiving the access denied error because there may not be a HomeGroup in place.
To handle networks securely with Windows 7, Microsoft took a different approach. A HomeGroup essentially creates a trust among all the devices in that home group. If a device is not in that homegroup, then that system will essentially be denied access.

How do I connect a Windows 8.1 tablet to a new Macbook Pro?

I am going to be purchasing a new Macbook Pro soon. In addition, I'll probably purchase a new Windows 8.1 tablet to replace my aging iPad 2. How can I connect the Windows tablet to the new Macbook Pro so I can add/remove data & movies?
Thanks to everyone for this help on this; I appreciate it.

Windows 8.1 is designed as a desktop operating system, so it doesn't need to be connected to any PC and you won't be able to connect it to your MacBook Pro because it hasn't got any port to do it.
Instead, what you can do is to install iTunes on the tablet and access to all your content purchased from the iTunes Store by using your Apple ID, or transfer your songs by using Home Sharing > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819

HT1296 How to transfer photos from windows XP to IPad2

Want to know how to transfer photos from windows xp to IPad2

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Errors connecting from windows

i try and connect from windows and it gives me this:
[2006/10/24 21:39:25, 0] pdbods.c:odssamgetsampwnam(2327)
odssam_getsampwnam: [0]getsam_recordattributes dsRecTypeStandard:Users no account for 'XXXX'!
funny thing is, if i connect using ADMIN and enter propper password, it works fine
it seems windows is trying to autofill the username (that is logged into windows) in the XXX field, and it doesn't match the server's account name.
thanks in advance!!

We're having something similar to this where Entourage users are apparently handing off the incorrect user name and password and thereby disabling their Apple user account on our mail/webmail OSX server.
I don't know how to stop the accounts from being disabled, nor do I know when the user has been automatically disabled by the server. We only know when the customer contacts us (which can't be by email).
This has already cost us some accounts and business.
Users who are not Windows or who are not using Entourage are having no problem. Since the problem also happens with Mac Entourage users, it may have more to do with Entourage than Windows.
Anyone know how to set the authentification of OSX or Entourage to be more friendly?

Problem in getting the database connection from a connection pool

Hai All,
I am facing a problem in getting the database connection from a connection pool created on weblogic server 8.1.
I am using the Oracle database 8.1.7.
I have configured my connection pool, datasource and JNDI in weblogic.
In my java program i have the following code to retrieve the connection.
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
class jdbcshp1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     Connection connection = null;
     try {
           Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
           ht.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory"); // Wanna get rid of this.
           ht.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"t3://localhost:7001"); // wanna get rid of this.
           // Get a context for the JNDI look up
           Context ctx = new InitialContext(ht);
        javax.sql.DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource) ctx.lookup ("myjndi1");
          //Create a connection object
          connection = ds.getConnection();
     The above code is working fine but, the two ht.put statements are creating problem.
The problem is, after converting the application into WAR file it can be deployed
on any machine or different port on same machine. My application fails if its deployed on
weglogicserver which is at different port.
Is there any way that i can get rid of those ht.put statements or any other way to solve the problem.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Pooja.

Hai All,
Firstly, thanks for ur reply.
Even i have seen some code which uses context constructor with out any parameter and works fine.
i dont understand why its not working for my code.
When i remove those ht.put code and use context constructor with out any parameter, it giving an error.
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
javax.sql.DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource) ctx.lookup ("ocjndi");
connection = ds.getConnection();The error is as follows:
javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial
the above error is forcing me to include those code but if the port number is changed the code will not work. Plz let meknow if some setting have to be made.
I appreciate all ur valuable help.
Thanks once again.
Pooja.

I just bought a new iMac and I am using a apple air port router. How do I connect mt windows PC to the air port router do I can move files

I Just purchased a 21.5 iMac and connected it to the Internet using a apple air port router. How do I connect my windows PC to my air port router so I can transfer files.

It makes life easier to install the airport utility for windows.. which has a couple of different apps in it.. if you airport is new type then the utility is too old.. but is still valuable for Bonjour which provides network information for shared devices in the apple world to windows.. and a disk access agent..
It will also help the Apple computer access shared directory in the windows computer.. nowadays this is pretty easy.

How to transfer files from windows 7 to macbook pro

how to transfer files from windows 7 pc to my new macbookpro

You can use your external hard drive that is used to backup your important data to transfer the data from your PC to your Mac.
If your Windows 7 PC is a laptop and you live near an Apple store, make an appointment at the Genius bar where they will help you transfer the data you want transferred from your PC to your MBP.

Office for Mac, http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products, can open/edit/create Office documents.If your external drive is formatted NTFS then you can copy the Office documents to your computer and work on them. You won't be able to save the files back to your NTFS formatted drive. But you will be able to save the documents to your internal drive. You can move all the external files to your internal drive then format the external drive for Apple. Then you can copy the files back to your external drive for ongoing use.

Is Apple compatible with Microsoft Office?
Any computer is compatible as long as it can read and write Office files. But for perfect (or at least near perfect) compatibility, you would want to purchase Office 2011 for Mac.
How can I transport from Windows to Mac?
You can't directly transport any installation of Windows. All PC's come with a machine specific version of Windows intended for that PC. They don't have all of the hardware drivers the retail disks cover.
If you want Windows on your Mac, you would first purchase a full version copy (NOT an upgrade disk) of Windows 7 or 8. Those are the only supported versions on newer Macs. You install it through the supplied Boot Camp utility that comes with the Mac to create a new partition for Windows, and then install the retail copy of Windows you purchased.
The reason only these versions of Windows are supported is the same basic reason as a machine specific version of Windows for a PC. Apple only includes the necessary Mac hardware drivers for Win 7 or 8 on new Macs.
Once Windows is installed, you could then install the version of Office for Windows you already own. The nuisance of a Boot Camp partition is that you have to physically boot to either Windows or OS X, so you can only use the apps of the OS you're in at the time. To use both at once, you'd have to use virtual machine software (Parallels, VMware, VirtualBox) and then install Windows within that. Then you'd be able to run Windows inside of OS X and have access to both at the same time.

How do I switch from Windows to mac?

How do I switch from Windows to mac on a macmini?

Hi,
I assume you are talking about a BootCamp Windows, right ?
If so, usually you hold down the Alt/Option-key at startup of your Mac to get the Boot Selection screen.
There you can choose which Operating System to boot into.
Once in OSX you might wanna go to System Preferences - Startup Volume and set your OSX to be the default.

How to uninstall portal from windows machine?

Hi gurus,
Can u guid me how to uninstall portal from windows machine.
Also please tell me the installation document procedure or document.

Shivraj Chalke

Hi!
This depends on your EP release.
For Basis release 6.40 (EP6) there should be an UNINSTSAP.EXE somewhere in your SAP-Filesystem which you need to run. Take care with the options you have, you might delete even the OS-Users (even on the domain) if you just click away without reading.
For Basis release 7.00 (EP7) you call sapinst and select 'uninstall' under 'Additional Software Lifecycle tasks'. This will guide you through the process of uninstallation.
If these operations fail you can manually clean the system by removing the files and cleaning the registry. This is only a sort of last resort though.
Regards,
Jörg
