Connecting to SQL Server 2005

I have successfully installed SQL Server 2005 on a server that also has SQL
Server 2000. Using SQL Server 2005 interface, how could I connect to a
named instance of a SQL Server 2005 database? As I try, it keeps connecting
me to the SQL Server 2000 db. Is this something you set up in CLient tools?
Please let me know, I connect to the SQL Server using a temp dns name.

Not sure what you're trying, but generally it's servername\instancename. If
not instance name is provided it deafults to the default instance.

I have tried to fix the problmm by checking in all the online blogs and trying out whatever is being suggested , still no luck!!!

Would appreciate if anybody could help me

Thanks.

Connecting to sql server 2005

I want to connect to database using sql server 2005 through Visual web developer 2005 express edition . what will be the connection string for this....

keywords under * * are for your own variable.

connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\ *datafile name *.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"

if it is a database in a local drive

and if you are using a web server ,

connectionString="data source=*ip address * ;user id=userid;password=pass"

The following link might help you..

In fact that is not the right explanation. The above mentioned syntax is used when you use the SQL Server 2005 Express feature of user instances. The above mentioned sample assumes that yxou have a local SQL Server Express instance (configured with the instance name of SQLEXPRESS). User instances are used to temporary attach datafile to SQL Server instances.

This has nothing to do with a web server. The above mentioned syntax is used when you have a SQL Server attached database. No matter which middle tier (either an application you wrote or a web server is connecting to the database server)=, you are able to have multiple conenctions from multiple applications to this database, other then the user instance where only one application can create a user instance and have access to the database at a time.

Connecting to SQL Server 2000 via VB6 program on Vista

I am having difficulty connecting to SQL Server 2000 on one of our
servers via a VB6 program on Vista. I can connect fine to a different
server, but it gives me the following error with the server in
question:
"Unable to connect to database. Please check your internet connection
Error# -2147467259
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or
access denied"
Using the program, I am able to access the database just fine while
running on Windows XP, but when I run the program on Vista, it gives
me that error message for that server. If I change the connection
string to a different server address, it works fine on Vista. What
differences in the servers might cause this?
Here is my connection string:
"driver={SQL Server};Server=ipaddress;Uid=userID;Pwd=pwd;databa se=db"
Is the firewall open for port 1433?

Yes, it is open for port 1433. I can connect to a separate Server
using the same connection string, except for the IP address, and it
works fine.
I can also connect to both Servers using the application on Windows XP
|||So, there is something different about this particular server--assuming you

As that server is running SQL 2000, there is not likely to be a surface-
area config tool.
But, yes, something appears to be special with that server.
TerpZebra, could you post the first 50 lines or so of the error log
for that server instance?

Connecting to SQL Server 2000 via VB6 program on Vista

I am having difficulty connecting to SQL Server 2000 on one of our
servers via a VB6 program on Vista. I can connect fine to a different
server, but it gives me the following error with the server in
question:

"Unable to connect to database. Please check your internet connection
Error# -2147467259
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or
access denied"

Using the program, I am able to access the database just fine while
running on Windows XP, but when I run the program on Vista, it gives
me that error message for that server. If I change the connection
string to a different server address, it works fine on Vista. What
differences in the servers might cause this?

Here is my connection string:
"driver={SQL Server};Server=ipaddress;Uid=userID;Pwd=pwd;databa se=db"Is the firewall open for port 1433?

Difficult to say. Is SQL Server running on port 1433 on both servers?

SS 2000 broadcasts and handles the incoming requests and maps to the ports,
but if the firewall blocks them...

Yes, it is open for port 1433. I can connect to a separate Server
using the same connection string, except for the IP address, and it
works fine.

I can also connect to both Servers using the application on Windows XP|||So, there is something different about this particular server--assuming you
can connect to other servers from the client.
Have you run the surface area config tool on the target server?

As that server is running SQL 2000, there is not likely to be a surface-
area config tool.

But, yes, something appears to be special with that server.

TerpZebra, could you post the first 50 lines or so of the error log
for that server instance?

are over-ridden to make the server visible. Since SP3a SQL Server 2000 is
configured to be invisible to the net. The TCP/IP protocol is disabled. See
http://www.databasejournal.com/feat...cle.php/3334851. He
discusses the SQL Server Network Utility that's used to make these
configuration changes.

This should be the same process as before. Are you having an issue? What errors are you getting?|||

Still I did not tried. I just trying to find code for the Connection!sqlsql

Connecting to sql server 2000 on Godaddy error: (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40

Facts:

1. I am using my account on Godaddy trying to connect to my sql server db.

2. I can get into my db using user id and password.

3. Godaddy's help file shows this for a connection string:

connectstr = "Driver={SQL Server};SERVER=" & db_server & ";DATABASE=" &
db_name & ";UID=" & db_username & ";PWD=" & db_userpassword

4. My connection string: "Server=whsql-v09.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;uid=dbasolutions;pwd=***;database=DB_87972;" & _
"Trusted_Connection=False providerName=System.Data.SqlClient"

{password **** out}

5. Get error message

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.
When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the
fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

I tried to email Godaddy's help desk with this information.

There first response: We do not allow remote connections to our sql server database.

There second response was to read the help file!

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

bswanson

Finally, I did get a tech support who would give me an ear. He got this script from his tech support to test my connection:

mssqltest.aspx

<%@. Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>
<%
Dim oSQLConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection()
oSQLConn.ConnectionString ="Server=whsql-v09.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;uid=dbasolutions;pwd=*****;database=DB_87972;"
try
oSQLConn.Open()
catch dag as exception
response.write(dag.message)
End try
Response.write("Connection Open!")
%>

Now we know we are connecting to sql server!

The next issue I realized that I was facing is that the code on the server was not recompiling. It was on the 1.1 framework running on asp.net 2.0.

The code was upgraded to asp.net 2.0 and uploaded again. Still it bombed. In an effort to get it working the debugger was turned on.

The next problem turned out to be in the <compilers> . The compiler option is not allowed. After deleting this code:

compilerOptions="/define:Debug=True /define:Trace=True /imports:Microsoft.VisualBasic,System,System.Collections,System.Configuration,System.Data,System.Drawing,System.Web,System.Web.UI,System.Web.UI.HtmlControls,System.Web.UI.WebControls"

out of the compilers, it worked!

On my local machines, I have not had trouble with recompiling. But on Godaddy, it did not recompile.

Hope this can help someone. I am open to suggestions.

Thanks,

Bswanson

Connecting to SQL Server 2000 Named Instances

We are having all kinds of issues with named instances for SQL 2000.

I am trying to connect to a SQL Server 2000 named instance on a different subnet and get an error. I cannot connect with ODBC or our web app.

I am using the port number for the alias that I created in the SQL Client Utility. We can connect to default instances without a problem, but not the named instances.

The SQL Server is 2000 build 2040 (Service pack 4 with a hot fix.) The server is listening on port 1223. In the ODBC connection I click on the Network Config and create an alias with the named instance such as SQLVSN\SQLNI and specify port 1223. I have also tried adding the port to the connection string in the ASP include file (SQLVSN\SQLNI,1223). If I do the same thing with a default instance on the network, both the app and ODBC work fine. It is only when I use a named instance.

Very frustrated. Thanks for any help you can provideIt shouldn't be much different. Here is a connection string in ASP which I use for our internal webpage.


Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set objrs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

objConn.Open "Driver={SQL Server};" & _
"Server=SERVERNAME\INSTANCENAME;" & _
"Database=DATABASENAME;" & _
"Network=NETWORKNAME;" & _
"Uid=USERNAME;" & _
"Pwd=PASSWORD"

str = "SELECT bla bla FROM bla bla WHERE bla bla;"
set objrs=objConn.execute(str)

I know all about security and dynamic SQL queries; this is just a proof of concept|||That's what we have. The app works on one of the servers that are on the same subnet, but not the one on a different subnet.

The one that is on the other subnet can't connect when I try to create an ODBC connection as a test. This goes for all named instances in the company, for which we have quite a few because we have several SQL Server Cluster Groups setup. However, I can create an ODBC connection to a default instance with no problem what so ever.

I have to be overlooking something when it comes to named instances.

Connecting to SQL Server 2000 Named Instances

I have the following problem;

I fully understand that to connect to a named instance of SQL Server you need to use the ServerName\SQLInstanceName. The problem I have is that I have a SQL Server in a different zone. I can connect to the Default instance by IP Address or the ServerName.zone.domain.org. (e.g. MySQLServer.zone1.mydomain.org).

However, the same thing does not work for the Named Instance. It seems to be named instance or nothing.

How can I connect to this named instance across network zones?:Suse the instance name with the ip address, like 1.2.3.4\myInstance and you ought to be fine.

-PatP|||That did it. Thanks!!! :beer:

connecting to SQL Server 2000 from a VB.net app using ADO.net

Hi
I can connect from my app to sql server on the local lan, but I can't connect over the
Internet. I can't create a remote connection in Enterprise Manager. However, I can
ping the IP address of the server just fine.
The app uses the following connect string:
Provider=SQLOLEDB;User
ID=******;Password=******;Server=******;Database=* *****;Network Address=******
Where 'Network Address' = the IP address of the machine where SQL Server is
installed.
This connect string works great from any machine connected to the same lan as the
SQL Server machine. However, whenever I try to connect across the Internet (from my
home machine, using the exact same software and connect string), I take the
following error:
Client unable to establish connection ConnectionOpen(CreateFile()
Question 1: Does anybody have any suggestions as to why I can connect over the LAN
but not over the Internet? I suspect some networking thing, like a firewall on the
lan where I am trying to connect, but I am not a networking expert.
Question 2: Does anyone have any opinion about whether this is a valid DBIO
technique? Most databases that are accessed over the Internet have thin-client
interfaces implemented in front of them. I have never tried to do this from a Windows
fat-client, and I suspect very poor performance and excess resource utilization on
the server
Any help or article will be appriciated
In terms of connectivity issues over the Internet, firewall
issues would be my first guess. You may want to take a look
at the following article:
INF: TCP Ports Needed for Communication to SQL Server
Through a Firewall
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=287932
In terms of the application issues, it depends on the app.
The resource problems on the database server are most often
due to coding issues, not really what type of client is
used. Either can perform well or perform poorly depending on
how they are coded.

My PC is insatalled My SQL Server2000 and has ip 10.98.10.97 that is DHCP ip and another ones is installed the same but that it real ip. Both PC can't to see them together in network

This problem make my first PC can't access database to another one.
Help me plssss...I'm not entirely certain I understood your question. It appears that your SQL server is a DHCP client (and thus it is possible that the IP address will periodically change due to a reboot or a lease renewal (should not happen often, but it is possible).

Is it not possible to connect to the server via its name instead of the IP? Ie, use the DNS server to resolve the IP address?

On the other hand, re-reading your question seems to indicate that you have 2 client workstations, one DHCP and one static. It appears that the static IP client can connect to SQL and the DHCP client cannot. If that is the case, then you appear to have a network issue unrelated to SQL and you must work with the network admin to ensure that connectivity is not being blocked by routing rules.

If I have misunderstood your question, please forgive me.

Sorry, I guess I need a bit more info to help.

Regards,

Hugh Scott

Help me plssss...|||Hi hmscott .
What is connection string in VB
My connection string to DHCP ip is "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=G7;Data Source=NUT"

when I will change Data Source from NUT to 10.98.10.97 (This is My DHCP Client IP) it work...
But when i change to Static ip (202.xxx.xxx.xxx) it does not work
How will i do??Please tell me about connection string that can be access to SQL Server..
thx|||Some things to test:

1. Can you Ping the static IP from your workstation (Ping 202.xxx.xxx.xxx).

If not, you need to see your network admin.

2. If you have query analyzer on your client, can you log in to the static IP server?

Again, iff not, you need to see your network admin.

HTH, my understanding gets much fuzzier once you get down to the network layer...

I ping the static ip from my PC is work..
and I can't use query analyzer log in to static ip server

..my PC (installed SQL Server 2000) and the static ip PC (installed the same) not in the same network ...then Both of them can't connect through SQL Tools.

How can I solve this problem??
and How can I code to connect them with VB?

Please help me again...
Thx.|||Perhaps it would help if you posted the actual error message text. I suggest that you try to set up a registration for the other machine in SQL Enterprise Manager and then copy the text of the error message and post it here|||thx MealinA

This is error message when I tried to Register with SQL Enterprise Manager:

and if I tried to connect with my user(created) it show the same result..|||On the server if you go (start->run) svrnetcn.exe and make sure only TCP/IP is listed under enabled protocols. Click on TCP/IP then Properties. The default port should be 1433 and the hide server box should be unchecked.

Also in SQL-EM on the server choose the local machine and then go (Tools->SQL Server Configuration Properties). Go to the Security tab and check that Authentication is set to SQL Server and Windows.

On the client go (start->run) cliconfg.exe and make sure that TCP/IP is the only (or at least the first) protocol listed. Click on TCP/IP then Properties. The default port should be 1433.

Tip: (This assumes you have MDAC 2.6 or higher on your CLIENT pc) Something I do is to use the Alias tab to set and alias for the server. Click Add, then enter MySQLServer in the Server alias box. Choose TCP/IP in the Network Libraries list. Under Connection parameters set Server name to <your server ip address> and check Dynamically determine port. Then use MySQLServer in the connection string. This means if the server ip address changes you can run cliconfg and change the alias without needing to change the connectiion string.

If this is all set up then there is no reason why the client should not connect to the server from SQL Server's perspective. If it still will not connect then I would suggest you carefully analyse your network configuration on the computers involved.

Connecting to SQL Server 2000

Hi,

I am total newbie to SQL Server. My new host tells me I can connect through
AccessXP or 2002. I have Access 2000. Can I not connect with that also?

If you want to you use an Access Data Project then this is available from Access
2000 and up. If you use an MDB with ODBC than you can use any version you want.
All you need is the correct ODBC driver.

connecting to sql server

i want to connect to an remote sql server 2005 from my office , where there remote sql server is in USA and my office is at india, i have done all the setting on the server where i have enabled remote connections and tcp/ip, i need to connect to the sqlserver using sql server management studio at my office, is it not possible to connect to an remote sql server without VPN

Few things to check

1. Does US SQL server machine has Firewall enabled? (considering opening the corresponding port)

2. Does INDIA machine has Firewall enabled?

3. If Windows Login is used to connect to US SQL server, is the login granted?

4. If you still see connection errors, you may consider to post the error message, error number and connecting scenario to "SQL Server Data Access " forum.

Thanks.

connecting to sql remote database

i am trying to connect to sql server in a remote database by using windows
authentication. I tried to connect using php and cgi. The apache service
under which i am running my cgi or php is under localsystem account. If i
change it to administrator account, i am able to connect to remote sql server
using windows authentication. But due to some limitations i want the apache
server/service to be run only on localsystem account, but to connect to
remote sql database using windows authentication. ( I dont want to use mixed
mode in SQL)Is it possible to connect using cgo or php?If it is possible what
is the connection string to be used? Or is SQLAuthenticatin compulsary be
used in connectng to remote sql server?.
the connection string that i am using are given below:
"Provider=sqloledb;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Data Source=PMP3,1433;Initial
Catalog=PMP_V3_0;Integrated Security=SSPI";
strConnection = _T("Driver={SQL Server};Server=MyServerName;"
"Trusted_Connection=yes;"
"Database=MyDatabaseName;");
You can connect to a remote SQL Server using Windows Authentication, except
when your Apache service uses the LocalSystem account. The LocalSystem
account can not connect to any resources that are on other computers. The
best solution would be to create a network account with the necessary
permissions, and run the Apache service using that account. Then you can use
Windows Authentication only.
