Error: No active Connection
I got this error in lauching the codes :
import java.sql.*;
* Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Test1 program
public class Test1 {
public Test1() throws Exception {
// Get connection
DriverManager.registerDriver(new
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver());
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://SERGE_TCHITEMBO:1433;databaseName=AutClust","autoclust","clust");
if (connection != null) {
          System.out.println();
          System.out.println("Successfully connected");
          System.out.println();
          // Meta data
          DatabaseMetaData meta = connection.getMetaData();
          System.out.println("\nDriver Information");
          System.out.println("Driver Name: "
          + meta.getDriverName());
          System.out.println("Driver Version: "
          + meta.getDriverVersion());
          System.out.println("\nDatabase Information ");
          System.out.println("Database Name: "
          + meta.getDatabaseProductName());
          System.out.println("Database Version: "+
          meta.getDatabaseProductVersion());
}// Test1
public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception {
Test1 Test1 = new Test1();
I google this error but i did find response.
Please could help me.
Vovo.

This is a database sever side forum. Your problem is client side db driver connectivity (the connection does not even reach the database from your description).
Thus I doubt that you will have much luck in getting the problem resolved here. I suggest you try a client language/driver forum instead.
Side note: I would add a test method to the code that takes IP/hostname and port as input, and then simply attempts a tcp socket open with these parameters. If socket connect works, close it and return a success. Else return a fail. Call this with the IP/hostname of the db server and port number of the server's listener (default 1521). Easy method to test network connectivity from client device to database server, without using any JDBC driver class and dealing with issues such as app protocol version differences and so on.
