Will DW cs5 connect to a database in SQL server?

I work for the government that dictates I use Microsoft SQL server as they do not support php or mySQL.
I need a simple form to collect limited info and display that back for the user.
Dreamweaver is able to accomodate what I need, but I have not been able to get the connections right in order to have my database show up in DW.
IT ensures me this is a Dreamweaver issue as they have tested all the connections and know they are working - and since they don't know Dreamweaver, their answer is for me to drop Dreamweaver and develop the form in Visual Studio which I know nothing about.
I've exhausted every resource and have gone through the connection tutorials on line a dozen times or better and still come up with nothing. Could it be that Dreamweaver cannot connect to a SQL server?
I would appreciate any resources to do this if it can be done, or confirmation that I am not an idiot unable to figure this out but that Adobe Dreamweaver simply doesn't play well with Microsoft SQL Server and I need to learn Visual Studio in order to get along.

I got the impression that no matter what the database, Dreamweaver needs php to access them.
Dreamweaver supports a range of different languages and technologies. PHP just happens to be the most widely used server-side language that connects to a database, but it's not the only one.  Dreamweaver can also use ASP and ColdFusion to connect to a database. There's also limited support for ASP.NET and JSP through extensions that restore functionality removed from the program a couple of versions ago.
I don't know .NET, just took a course in SQL to know enough to create tables and learn to query.
If I'm understanding your advice, it looks like I need to get up to speed in Visual Studio to get this form up and going with a return screen for the user to be able to update the information displayed?
Visual Studio is like Dreamweaver - a tool for working with web technologies. It's not so much the need to learn Visual Studio, but your lack of knowledge of .NET that's the problem. Because Visual Studio is designed specifically for .NET, it might help you build the form more quickly. But without learning the basics of .NET, you're likely to struggle. Unfortunately, my knowledge of .NET is close to zero, so I can't offer any direct advice other than to wish you good luck with your efforts.

  • Cannot connect to Oracle database from SQL Server

    Hi
    We have set up a SQL Server linked server and tried to use this SQL Server linked server to connect to Oracle database. We are using SQL Server 2008 and Oracle client 11g 11.02.00.01. However, we got this error message:
    Msg 7347, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
    OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' for linked server 'OurLinkedServer' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[OraOLEDB.Oracle].Ourfieldname'. The (maximum) expected data length is 6, while the returned data length is 2.
    We are able to connect some of the tables ok but some of the tables are not connected and got the above error message.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks a lot
    Tom

    Hi
    Here is more information. We just found out that the Oracle database team changed the character set to something else and then they changed it back to UTF8.
    Currently, it is using UTF8 character set on the Oracle side. Will this causing us this error message on our sql server linked server?
    The error message said "The (maximum) expected data length is 6, while the returned data length is 2."
    This refers to a field/column with char(1)
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
    Thank you

  • Cannot connect to Oracle 11gR2 database from SQL Server 2005

    Both SQL Server (Windows) and Oracle (Linux) are in 64bit environments.
    I have done the following on a Windows 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2005:
    Install InstantClient from Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64) to C:\Oracle
    Install oledb from 64-bit ODAC 11.2 Release 3 (11.2.0.2.1) for Windows x64 by executing install.bat oledb c:\oracle odac
    Note: Not sure whether 11.2.0.2.1 version of ODAC will cause any problem since I cannot find 11.2.0.1.0 version.
    I have checked the Allow inprocess of OraOLEDB.Oracle provider in SSMS.
    I have executed sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'ORACLE_TEST', @srvproduct = 'Oracle', @provider = 'OraOLEDB.Oracle', @datasrc = '##.##.##.##:1521/TEST'
    The ##.##.##.## is the ip address of the Linux server which has the Oracle 11gR2 database TEST.
    I have executed sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = 'ORACLE_TEST', @useself = 'FALSE', @rmtuser = 'xxxx', @rmtpassword = 'yyyy'
    The xxxx is the oracle username and yyyy is the password for the oracle user xxxx.
    I know the oracle database TEST is up since I have setup connection in Oracle SQL Developer having:
    ##.##.##.## as the hostname
    1521 as the Port
    xxxx as the username
    yyyy as the password
    TEST as the service name
    When I click Test Connection for the linked server ORACLE_TEST in SSMS, it just hang.
    When I issue a query like select count(*) from oracle_test..xxxx.table1, it just run forever. I'm not so sure how to query an oracle table. I have also tried select count(*) from oracle_test.xxxx.xxxx.table1.
    When I retype the password in the Linked Server Properties, it just run forever.
    Do I need to create a tnsnames.ora on the Windows machine?
    Do I need to change the tnsnames.ora on Linux machine?
    I'm very new to Oracle.

    This forum is dealing with connections from an Oracle database to SQL Server - so the Oracle database is the driving site and this is the way round from your linked server set up.
    As you're suing the instant client you might post your issue in the instant client forum:

  • Connect to Oracle database from SQL Sever

    Can you help on an issue of connection from SQL Server to Oracle database:
    In SQL Server, I create a "linked server" to connect to Oracle database on a different machine. But it will take a unreasonable time (about 30 seconds) to call a Oracle query from SQL Server.

    No there are no entries required in the TNSNAMES.ORA
    When you are using ODBC for connection, Oracle does not look fo rany enteries in TNSNAMES.ORA file.
    Now I am able to connect to both SQL Plus and Forms 6i. But while connecting to SQL Plus its giving an error
    Error accessing PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE
    Warning: Product user profile information not loaded!
    You may need to run PUPBLD.SQL as SYSTEM
    Server not available or version too low for this feature
    Connected to:
    Oracle Open Client Adapter for ODBC 6.0.5.35.0
    Microsoft SQL Server 08.00.0534
    Also while disconnecting the Windows Program Error comes, and the application closes abruptly.

    We have been able to test this scenario successfully from SQL Server side
    However, while calling the stored proc via native SQL from ABAP we have come across an issue which is due to SQL 2005 changes (Schema implementation and difference in the security context)
    While calling the stored procedure from the ABAP Code we have an error
                The program short dumps with runtime error DBIF_DSQL2_SQL_ERROR, exception CX_SY_NATIVE_SQL_ERROR. The database error code is 15274, and the error text is
                 "Access to the remote server     is denied because the current security context is not trusted."
    This issue is new after the SQL Server 2005.
    We are trying to resolve that.
    Secondly we have been trying the DBCON option as well as per OSS Note 323151
    We have a few things thatu2019s impacting our scenario:
    The remote servers are in a different domain
    The remote servers are located  in DIZ
    Remote server is a named instance
    Remote server has been configured with a different port than standard (1565) u2013 All Connection strings will need port in there
    The Database name starts with a numeric value
    Due a combination of factors as mentioned above the standard approach does not work
    Have any of you used this approach while connecting from SAP to MS-SQL server? Do you know of any successful methods to connect to SQL using ABAP (or not) from SAP.
    Thanks in advance,

    Yes,
    DBConnect & UDConnect.
    Works like a charm.
    We write data into a MS-SQL database via DBConnect & an ABAP program (using open sql).

  • Migrating OBIEE Repfrom Oracle database to SQL server database in Solaris.

    Hi,
    I need inputs in how we would migrate our connections in Repository from Oracle database to SQL server database in Sloaris server.
    Is there a complication here.
    Regards,
    Bhavik

    Well that makes more sense, you probably have phrased your question better. Microsoft SQL Server Connectivity Components are not supported in any other operating system than Windows. So you will not be able to use the SQL Server native drivers to connect to your SQL Server. ODBC it's an option but there aren't many ODBC drivers for Unix systems. Luckily for you OBIEE includes the DataDirect ODBC drivers and supports using them to connect to a SQL Server. Check [the documentation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416/general_101331.htm#sthref9] on how to use them. Having said that I would say that whoever is pushing to move your DWH to SQL Server should consider also moving OBIEE to a Windows server to be able to use the SQL Server native drivers to connect to SQL Server.

    The JDBC-ODBC bridge wasn't recognizing any of the primary keys I had set up in SQL Server. After lots of head banging, here's the solution I came up with:
    1. Download the appropriate driver. SQL Server 2000 requires the SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=07287B11-0502-461A-B138-2AA54BFDC03A&displaylang=en).
    SQL Server 2005 download: (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C47053EB-3B64-4794-950D-81E1EC91C1BA&displaylang=en)
    3. After installing, right-click on "Libraries" in your project, and choose "Add Library...". Next, give it a name (i.e. SQLServer2000), and select "Class Libraries".
    4. On the next screen, find the JAR files (should be in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\), and add them under the "Classpath" tab. It will now be available under "Libraries" for future projects.
    5. You can now create a connection to a specific database under the "Services" tab (next to "Projects" and "Files" in the top left of the screen). Select "Microsoft Sql Server 2000 (Microsoft Driver)" and format the "Database URL" like this:
    jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver//YOURSERVER:1433;DatabaseName=YOURDATABASE
    1433 is the default port, though your DBA may have changed it.
    I posted a simpler version of this on the NetBeans.org FAQ page - they had the following title with no content on the answer page:
    "Cannot Select Tables From MsSql 2000 Because It Says No Primary Key Next To Each Table But The Tables DO Have A Primary Key. What Do I Do?"

  • How to restore SQL Server 2008 database to SQL Server Express 2012

    How to restore SQL Server 2008 database to SQL Server Express 2012.
    I BACKED UP a SQL Server 2008 database from work, which runs the enterprise version of 2008, and I tried to RESTORE it to my new 64-Bit home PC which is running the new SQL Server Express 2012 64-Bit (Advanced Edition).
    But if fails. I get the following message text.
    Can anyone help me please. I thought restoring a 2008 database to the later version 2012 would be possible.
    Here is the error message. Thanks.
    TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
    Restore of database failed. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RelationalEngineTasks)
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

    Are you sure your database is SQL server 2008 from error message it seems your SQL server version is 2000.I guess you have multiple versions of SQL server.
    AFAIK you cannot restore backup of SQL server 2000 to 2012 directly .Restore it first to SQL 2008/2008R2 or 2005 then take backup again of new database created and then you would be able to restore it on 2012.Its kind of intermediate way
    Also make sure your DB size is less than 10 G as max DB size supported by Express edition is 10 G and if your DB size is more than 10 G restore will fail.
    You are also trying to restore enterprise DB backup on express edition so you will loose enterprise features on express edition
