I've got SQL Server 2019 Developer Edition up and running on my Linux VM. I'd like to remotely connect to that SQL Server instance from my Windows development PC.
All of the information I can find online basically revolves around configuring a Windows based SQL Server to allow remote connections and then connecting into it from Linux, which I need the opposite of. I'd like to write some Python code on my development machine to interact with this db.
I use Dbeaver as an interface tool, and I've ran the following:
EXEC sp_configure 'remote access', 0;
and
RECONFIGURE;
But I'm really not sure what else to do from here, I've never configured anything like this before.
When looking at netstat -tulpn I can see SQL Server listening on 127.0.0.1:1434 along with some other ports, as well as 0.0.0.0 and even :::1433.
But utilizing sqlcmd -S my_server_ip,1434 -Usa on Windows is running into:
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server : Login timeout expired.
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server : A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online..
Any tips on setting this up? Possibly a firewall issue, or are there configuration steps I'm not thinking of?

I have a series of SQL Server instances that I need to connect to from inside a docker container using SQLCMD. These target SQL Server instances frustratingly have different versions with some on Windows Server 2012 and some on Windows Server 2003. When I try to connect to the Windows Server 2012 instances and execute sql commands using a command such as sqlcmd -S IP_Address,Port_No -U username -P password -i input_file.sql, it works perfectly. When I try the same for the Windows Server 2003 instances, I get the following error:
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server : Login timeout expired.
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server : TCP Provider: Error code 0x2AF9.
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server : A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online..
Is this just a situation where the connection syntax changes for Windows Server 2003? I have tried many different tweaks to the connection string but each returns the same message? Is SQLCMD even supported for Windows Server 2003? I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.
I've just reimaged a windows 10 box and installed SQL Server 2012 Management tools, client tools and it has its own SQL Server which works fine.
I'm trying to connect SSMS or Odbcad32 to a SQL Server instance on another machine on the same domain and both SSMS and Odbcad32 won't connect.
Odbcad32 gives this error message:
SqlState: '01000'
SQL Server Error:67
Connection Failed:
SqlState: '08001'
SQL Server Error: 17
SQL Server does not exist or access denied
The SQL Server browser is already started. Client protocols are all on for both 32 and 64 bit. i.e. shared memory, TCPIP and named pipes are all enabled, in that order.
I've googled a million threads on this topic and they all seem to find resolution when one of the two above paragraphs are satisfied, but not in this case.
Any other machine can connect to that SQL Server fine.
I can ping it fine.
Changing the SQL Server computer name to the ip address doesn't help, it still won't connect.
The remote server has an instance name of sql2008, which I am obviously including when I connect in the form machinename\sql2008.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: connecting via Windows auth or SQL Server auth is the same. I am logged in to Windows as domain\administrator. UAC is off on this box.
I've set up ODBC connections to databases before, but I'm currently having problems and can't seem to figure out what I'm missing. This isn't my area of expertise, and the Microsoft help/documentation is less than 'user friendly'. Appreciate any pointers.
I have a locally running instance of SQL Server 2014, with a couple of test databases I'm using to develop another application. Here's the info on the setup:
SELECT HOST_NAME() AS 'host_name()',
##servername AS 'ServerName\InstanceName',
SERVERPROPERTY('servername') AS 'ServerName',
SERVERPROPERTY('machinename') AS 'Windows_Name',
SERVERPROPERTY('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS') AS 'NetBIOS_Name',
SERVERPROPERTY('instanceName') AS 'InstanceName',
SERVERPROPERTY('IsClustered') AS 'IsClustered'
query returns:
host_name() ServerName\InstanceName ServerName Windows_Name NetBIOS_Name InstanceName IsClustered
DECATHLETE DECATHLETE\SQLEXPRESS DECATHLETE\SQLEXPRESS DECATHLETE DECATHLETE SQLEXPRESS 0
In the Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator (64-bit) - I'm running W10 in a VMWare VM on Mac, btw - the server shows up as available when I try to configure a new System DSN. Following is the setup info:
Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server Version 12.00.2000

Testing connectivity generates the following error message:

I've confirmed access to the databases from SQL Server Management Studio. The login uses windows authentication with no password. I can get in, play with databases, run queries, etc. (See picture below).
I'm at a loss. I'd previously created ODBC connections with no problems. This seems to have cropped up as an issue since upgrading the virtual machine from W7 to W10. Hoping someone can point out an obvious oversight.
* Update *
Adding a screenshot of the ODBC configuration wizard below. Note that the SQL Server is showing up in the list of available servers on the wizard. So it seems to be seeing the server but failing to connect to it.
In the "Create a New Data Source to SQL Server" dialog/window, the incorrect "Server name:" is specified. Since you have a named instance of SQL Server, type in the name of the SQL Server host, a backslash, and the instance name. Here is the format: SQLHostName\SQLInstanceName.
Please check, whether you're allowing remote connections to the SQL Server using the 'Microsoft Sql Server 2014\Configuration Tools\Sql Server Configuration Tool' utility.
Go to Sql Server Network Configuration and make sure you allow TCP/IP for remote connections.
Also I'd try to play with Windows Firewall on the Sql Server PC.
I've been searching for a solution to this issue for a while now. I am trying to link SQL tables on another server to a Microsoft Access front end to make use of the Forms for data entry etc.
The comments here solved the issue and I thought I would provide a consolidated solution for clarity:
From the SQL Server Connection Manager:
Enable SQL Server Browser
From 'SQL Server Services', modify the Properties of the 'SQL Server Browser' and set the 'Start Mode' to 'Automatic'. Apply the changes and exit.
Start the 'SQL Server Browser'.
Enable TCP/IP
From 'SQL Server Network Configuration' -> 'Protocols for [your server name]', then enable TCP/IP.
Then create an ODBC connection from your local computer. From there I used the named ODBC connection in access to link the tables I needed.
I have SQL Server 2008 R2 installed on my PC running Win 7 x64. I used to use it every day with a connection from management studio (Windows Authentication). But, for some reason, management studio is not accepting my connection anymore after I installed DB2 on the same PC.
I know that the instance is not broken since I am able to connect well with Visual Studio 2010 where I also tried creating new DB, inserting records etc.
How do I mend this problem with management studio? How might installing DB2 have affected Management Studio?
I am getting following error:
TITLE: Browse Server for Database
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while
establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or
was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that
SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL

For help, click:

It's not an authentication issue, as you would get a different error. If this is a named instance, you need to ensure the SQL Server Browser service is started.
I'm guessing you also have TCP/IP protocol enabled?
I don't know much about DB2 but maybe there is some conflict with the ports used. By default SQL Server uses 1433 for the default instance, and 1434 for SQL Browser to dynamically allocate a port for named instances. Check these to make sure they are still good.
Make sure that you have port opened on target server.
Use Telnet (install from Control Panel -> Turn Windows features On of Off)
>telnet <server-ip/name> 1433
or network scanner from nmap.org
>nmap -sT -r -n -vv -p1433 <server-ip/name>
Env.: Vista SP1, SQL Server Express 2005
I'm able to connect to my localhost SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio, using Windows authentication and, to the best of my knowledge, all default parameters, including network protocol.
Now I try to connect using sqlcmd.exe to no avail:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn>sqlcmd -S \\PCSERGEHOME\SQLE
XPRESS
HResult 0x57, Level 16, State 1
Named Pipes Provider: Invalid parameter(s) found [87].
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : An error has occurred while establi
shing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failu
re may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not
allow remote connections..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.
I also tried to use -U PCSERGEHOME\Serge. I'm then prompted for my password but the result is the same.
TIA for your help.
Lose the leading \\
Actually, try .\XPRESS (period slash instance)
Try
Disabling the firewall
Using localhost instead
Check the Server setup (in management studio) to make sure remote connections are enabled
Check the settings in Surface Area configuration and make sure all the transports are enabled and remote connections are enabled
