Question

Hi
I have tried to access a remote SQL server by many ways but all failed
here is my trying :
String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
String url= "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://217.52.98.102:1433";
Class.forName(driver);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"sa"," " );
String selectStr = "select * from FleetWatch..table_name";
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(selectStr);
DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver());
// connect to the DB by using the driver.
String connString = "217.52.98.102:1433;databasename=FleetWatch";
String strDBConnect = "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://" + connString;
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(strDBConnect, "sa", "");
String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
Class driverClass = Class.forName(driver, true, jdbcLoader);
Driver currDriver = (Driver)driverClass.newInstance();
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.setProperty("sa", (String)paras.get("sa");
prop.setProperty("password", (String)paras.get(" ");
String url= "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://217.52.98.102:1433";
conn = currDriver.connect((String)paras.get(url, prop);

Answer 1

String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
String url= "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://your servername:1433";
Class.forName(driver);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"username ","password " );
this user name and password may be diff becoz if u have only sql authentication then u have to know that user name or it can have windows nt authentication so if it is so then no probs can use ur windows nt login..
know the server name where ur sqlserver is connected to.
set the classpath for the sqlserverdrivers jar files which u have downloaded where ur working on.
then it works
i did the same and worked for me.
try it.
