I am using the statement below to try and open a connection to the latest download of SQLServer Express.
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/jinzhu/gorm"
_ "github.com/jinzhu/gorm/dialects/mssql"
"log"
)
db, err := gorm.Open("mssql", "sqlserver://tony:Password6!#localhost:1433?database=go_user")
The statement results in an error:
2019/09/30 10:29:16 Unable to open tcp connection with host
'localhost:1433': dial tcp [::1]:1433: connectex: No connection could
be made because the target machine actively refused it. panic: Unable
to open tcp connection with host 'localhost:1433': dial tcp
[::1]:1433: connectex: No connection could be made because the target

Is anyone successfully connecting to SQLServer Express with GORM on Golang?
TCP port 1433 is the default port for SQL Server. This port is also the official Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) socket number for SQL Server. Client systems use TCP 1433 to connect to the database engine; SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) uses the port to manage SQL Server instances across the network. You can reconfigure SQL Server to listen on a different port, but 1433 is by far the most common implementation.
However, if you still want to open it, follow the below steps:
Step 1
Probably TCP/IP channel is disabled under SQL Server Configuration Manager. SO go there and enable all TCP/IP options.
Step 2
Just in case at the same place SQL Server Configuration Manager make sure you have 1433 port.
Step 3
Make sure that SQL server is configured to allow remote connections. Use MS SQL Management Studio and right click on the top node which server itself.

I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 17 to connect to a remote Microsoft SQL Server database. Looking at the connection dialog of Studio 17, I don't see any port number setting. Google tells me that Studio uses port 1433 by default.
I tried to use telnet to check if port 1433 is listening on the remote server: telnet example.company.com 1433
However, the connection failed. How can I find the port used for this database connection?
You could connect SSMS to your DB, run ProcessExplorer and examine the properties of ssms.exe. On the "TCP/IP" tab you possibly find what you are asking for:
Make sure you have connectivity to the server first. Since you mentioned "remote" there could be a firewall in the way, so your solution is going to depend on your network topology.
Can you ping the server? If ping works, I would reach out to the owner of the server and verify the DB connection parameters. Maybe your IP needs to be whitelisted. Etc. Etc.
Check if the server host has inbound port 1433 enabled, and whether TCP/IP is enabled using the SQL server configuration manager. If the SQL server instance in question sits on the cloud, you might want to check the specific provider's firewall rules on the container and adjust to permit 1433 inbound connections. The port setting entirely lies on where the actual SQL server instance sits. The management studio in your remote client will not be using any port.
I have Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express running on my local machine, a Windows 7 PC.
I use Python and can connect to the server (from the very same PC) without any problems, using SQL alchemy. I can also connect using Excel and the PowerPivot add-in.
However, I cannot connect with Pentaho - Kettle.
I have downloaded the JDBC driver from Microsoft:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=11774
I took the file jre8\sqljdbc42.jar and moved it to the lib subfolder of
the Pentaho Data Integration installation. I took the file in jre8, not jre7, because my Java is JRE1.8.0_144
I then took the file in auth\x86\sqljdbc_auth.dll and copied it to the same lib folder. I took the x86 file, not the x64, because Java is in c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_144\
I add 'table input' and set connection type= MS SQL Server (native) and Access = Native (JDBC)
The error message I get is:
Error connecting to database [mydatabase] :org.pentaho.di.core.exception.KettleDatabaseException: Error occurred while trying to connect to the database
Error connecting to database: (using class com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver) The TCP/IP connection to the host localhost, port 1433 has failed. Error: "Connection refused: connect. Verify the connection properties. Make sure that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port. Make sure that TCP connections to the port are not blocked by a firewall.".
org.pentaho.di.core.exception.KettleDatabaseException: Error occurred while trying to connect to the database
Error connecting to database: (using class com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver) The TCP/IP connection to the host localhost, port 1433 has failed. Error: "Connection refused: connect. Verify the connection properties. Make sure that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port. Make sure that TCP connections to the port are not blocked by a firewall.".
I have tried various combinations of specifying port number 1433 and of leaving it blank, of using integrated security and of entering my password manually, of setting host name to localhost and to DESKTOP-MYNAME\SQLEXPRESS, but to no avail.
I have read lots of discussions about it but none seems relevant; the SQL Server does accept incoming connections, e.g. from Python and SQL Alchemy.
I ran the SQL Server 2014 configuration manager, and checked:
SQL Server network configuration --> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS --> TCP/IP
In the protocol tab, I had: enabled: yes and Listen All: Yes
In the "IP Addresses" tab, under IPAll at the bottom, "TCP Dynamic ports" was set to 49178. (No idea why).
So I set the port in the 'table input' setup of Pentaho to 49178. It managed to find the server, but there was an error about integrated security. So I copied sqljdbc_auth.dll to both the bin and the lib subfolders of C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_144 .... and now it works!
If I don't specify the port, Pentaho tries port 1433, and it doesn't work.
For reference, the connection string I use with Python and SQL Alchemy does not specify the port explicitly.
params = '?driver=SQL+Server+Native+Client+11.0'
engine = create_engine('mssql+pyodbc://' + ServerName + '/'+ Database + params, encoding ='latin1' )
conn=engine.connect()
SQL Server network configuration --> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS --> TCP/IP
In the protocol tab, I had: enabled: yes and Listen All: Yes
In the "IP Addresses" tab, under IPAll at the bottom, "TCP Dynamic ports" was set to 49178.
So I set the port in the 'table input' setup of Pentaho to 49717.
this worked for me also..
I get the following message when trying to connect to SQL database from a remote machine using MS Management Studio with Server Name [ XX.XXX.XXX.XXX,1433\MyServerName ] and SQL authentication:
Cannot connect to XX.XXX.XXX.XXX,1433\MyServerName.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The wait operation timed out.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 258)
The wait operation timed out
I have done the following:
Allowed remote connection in Server Properties window in SQL Management Studio
Configured server machine to have static IPv4/DNS addresses.
Enabled TCP/IP in SQL Configuration Manager (in SQL Server Network Configuration)
In TCP/IP properties, adjusted [ Protocol -> Listen All -> No ] & set IP[1-8] to TCP port 1433 and IPAll port to 1433 (TCP dynamic ports left blank)
Set Inbound/Outbound enable connection (Domain, public, private) rules in Windows Firewall for ports TCP 1433, UDP 1434 (should make no difference, since port is specified), service executables: sqlbrowser.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared (not used I think because port is specified) and sqlservr.exe in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.MyServerName \MSSQL\Binn
Set NAT actions in server-side router for ports 1433 (TCP), 1434 (UDP) (again, should not matter) to server's local IPv4 address and ports 1433, 1434 accordingly.
Made sure SQL service is running, ports are open and listening on server machine.
I can connect to the database on server machine using Windows or Sql credentials with either PC name, or machine's local IPv4.
Interesting thing is, when >telnet XX.XXX.XXX.XXX 1433 is run, it takes about 10-12 seconds to fail (Could not open connection to the host, on port 1433: Connect failed), but I can see the 2 packets coming to the router itself. Same with the login using SQL Manager - packets come to the router, but either server machine refuses (doesn't resolve?) the connection, or it doesn't even get to the machine.
Appreciate your suggestions.
Versions used:
MS SQL Server 2016 Express, MS SQL Management Studio 17, SQL Server 2016 Configuration Manager, Windows 10 Pro.
Have you tried telnet on 1433 locally?
Are you sure your local connection is using TCP/IP? By default, local connections use DBNMPNTW (named pipes) which uses shared memory on the back end for local connections and is faster than TCP/IP.
When SQL Server is working correctly on TCP/IP telnet will connect and leave you blinking waiting for protocol-- it doesn't hang for 10-12 seconds and fail.
If telnet works locally but not remotely, then you know the problem is in the networking layer (firewall, NAT, routing, etc.). If it does not, then the problem is in the SQL configuration setup. Did you restart the service after changing the connection settings?
Initial Attempt
I have an Azure VM with Windows Server 2012, on which I just installed SQL Server 2012 Express Database Engine component. Then, I followed the instructions here to connect remotely with SQL Server Management Studio.
Create a TCP endpoint for the virtual machine
Open TCP ports in the Windows firewall
Configure SQL Server to listen on the TCP protocol
Configure SQL Server for mixed mode authentication
Create SQL Server authentication logins
Determine the DNS name of the virtual machine
Connect to the Database Engine from another computer
After step seven I received the following error:
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: Named
Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)
What else do I need to configure before connecting remotely?
Troubleshooting
I have been following the troubleshooting instructions here. Each blockquote below is a step described that that link.
Confirm the instance of the SQL Server Database Engine is installed
and running.
Done. We installed SQL Server Express, and it is running as a named instance called SQLEXPRESS.
If you are attempting to connect to a named instance, make sure the
SQL Server Browser service is running.
Done. We followed the steps here to turn on the SQL Server Browser service.
Get the IP Address of the computer.
Done. We will use these later for testing connectivity and maybe for setting up a static port for SQLEXPRESS.
10.241.62.155
fe80::45c:8c29:e19f:f78b%15
Get the TCP port number used by SQL Server.
Done. The SQL Server Management Studio server logs showed that the server was listening on port 49169.
Enable Protocols
Done. We had already enabled TCP/IP in the configuration manager, but we restarted the SQL Server Service just in case.
Testing TCP/IP Connectivity
Done. We used tcping.exe to test connectivity (cmd ping doesn't work quickly with Azure.) We were able to connect to port 80.
tcping.exe buddha.cloudapp.net > successful
tcping.exe buddha.cloudapp.net 80 > successful
Testing a Local Connection
Done. We used sqlcmd.exe from the command prompt and were able to connect locally via TCP with a username and password.
sqlcmd -S Buddha\SQLEXPRESS (success via shared memory protocol)
sqlcmd -S tcp:Buddha\SQLEXPRESS (success via TCP)
sqlcmd -S tcp:Buddha\SQLEXPRESS -U sa -P (success via TCP with username)
sqlcmd -S tcp:10.241.62.155\SQLEXPRESS -U sa -P (success with internal IP)
Opening a Port in the Firewall
We opened the port on which we SQLEXPRESS listens. The server logs (above) showed that SQLEXPRESS was listening on port 49169, but this is just one of many dynamic ports, and we wanted to set up the static port 1435.
Use WF.msc to create an inbound TCP rule for port 1435.
Use Azure Management Portal to create a TCP endpoint for port 1435.
The troubleshooting instructions also say:
If you are connecting to a named instance or a port other than TCP
port 1433, you must also open the UDP port 1434 for the SQL Server
Browser service.
Since we are connecting SQLEXPRESS (a named instance), we needed to open port 1434 for UDP.
Use WF.msc to create an inbound UCP rule for port 1434.
Use Azure Management Portal to create a UDP endpoint for port 1434
Further research about connecting to named instances revealed dynamic port issues. The reason why we are using port 1435 (static) instead of port 49169 (one of many effective options.)
Instances of SQL Server Express, SQL Server Compact, and named
instances of the Database Engine use dynamic ports. To configure these
instances to use a specific port, see Configure a Server to Listen on
a Specific TCP Port (SQL Server Configuration Manager). and
here.
Done. We went to SQL Configuration Manager > SQL Server Network Configuration > Protocols for SQLEXPRESS > TCP/IP, we did the following.
Protocol Tab > Listen All > NO.
IP Addresses Tab > for each listed address
Enabled > Yes
TCP Dynamic Ports > Blank (delete the zero)
TCP Port > 1435 (or your choice)
After restarting the SQLEXPRESS service, we again looked in the SQL Server Management Studio logs, and found that the Server is Listening on port 1435!!! Hooray!
Testing the Connection
Done. We opened SQL Server Management Studio on our local (non-Azure) computer and connected.
buddha.cloudapp.net,1435 OR buddha.cloudapp.net\SQLEXPRESS
sa
password
Success.
Here are the three web pages on which we found the answer. The most difficult part was setting up static ports for SQLEXPRESS.
Provisioning a SQL Server Virtual Machine on Windows Azure. These initial instructions provided 25% of the answer.
How to Troubleshoot Connecting to the SQL Server Database Engine. Reading this carefully provided another 50% of the answer.
How to configure SQL server to listen on different ports on different IP addresses?. This enabled setting up static ports for named instances (eg SQLEXPRESS.) It took us the final 25% of the way to the answer.
The fact that you're getting an error from the Names Pipes Provider tells us that you're not using the TCP/IP protocol when you're trying to establish the connection. Try adding the "tcp" prefix and specifying the port number:
tcp:name.cloudapp.net,1433
I too struggled with something similar. My guess is your actual problem is connecting to a SQL Express instance running on a different machine. The steps to do this can be summarized as follows:
Ensure SQL Express is configured for SQL Authentication as well as Windows Authentication (the default). You do this via SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) Server Properties/Security
In SSMS create a new login called "sqlUser", say, with a suitable password, "sql", say. Ensure this new login is set for SQL Authentication, not Windows Authentication. SSMS Server Security/Logins/Properties/General. Also ensure "Enforce password policy" is unchecked
Under Properties/Server Roles ensure this new user has the "sysadmin" role
In SQL Server Configuration Manager SSCM (search for SQLServerManagerxx.msc file in Windows\SysWOW64 if you can't find SSCM) under SQL Server Network Configuration/Protocols for SQLExpress make sure TCP/IP is enabled. You can disable Named Pipes if you want
Right-click protocol TCP/IP and on the IPAddresses tab, ensure every one of the IP addresses is set to Enabled Yes, and TCP Port 1433 (this is the default port for SQL Server)
In Windows Firewall (WF.msc) create two new Inbound Rules - one for SQL Server and another for SQL Browser Service. For SQL Server you need to open TCP Port 1433 (if you are using the default port for SQL Server) and very importantly for the SQL Browser Service you need to open UDP Port 1434. Name these two rules suitably in your firewall
Stop and restart the SQL Server Service using either SSCM or the Services.msc snap-in
In the Services.msc snap-in make sure SQL Browser Service Startup Type is Automatic and then start this service
At this point you should be able to connect remotely, using SQL Authentication, user "sqlUser" password "sql" to the SQL Express instance configured as above. A final tip and easy way to check this out is to create an empty text file with the .UDL extension, say "Test.UDL" on your desktop. Double-clicking to edit this file invokes the Microsoft Data Link Properties dialog with which you can quickly test your remote SQL connection
I am using MS Server 2008 with MSSQL 2008-R2 as database server.
Each time for some work i have to login to server via Remote connection.I tried to configure
the SQL Server remote connection on, followed the following steps....
1.Created Inbound and outbound rules for tcp port 1433.
2.In sqlserver configuration manager ,all is set for IP address and POrt no properties.
3.Set the SqlServer instance for remote connections.
But still its not working.
Also when i checked port 1433 for tcp on local computer it is shown closed.
thanks in advance.......
Probably port 1433 is disabled, so enable it using MS WIndows firewall.
or just use
netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 1433 name = SQLPort mode = ENABLE scope = SUBNET profile = CURRENT
Probably MS SQL Server Browser Service is not running. So go to Services and start it.
or just execute under Run menu
%windir%\system32\services.msc
Probably TCP/IP channel is disabled under SQL Server 2008/2014 Configuration Manager. SO go there and enable all TCP/IP options.
Just in case at the same place (SQL Server 2008/2014 Configuration Manager) make sure you have 1433 port.
Make sure that SQL server is configured to allow remote connections. Use MS SQL Management Studio and right click on the top node which server itself.
In the SQL Server Configuration Manager->SQL Server Network Configuration->Protocols, check that named pipes and tcp/ip are enabled.
If that doesn't work then it may be your firewall blocking it, try this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc646023.aspx
This may be useful too:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287932
If named pipes and TCP/IP access are already enabled in SQL Server Configuration Manager, then you need to either add a rule for UDP port 1434, or a rule for sqlbrowser.exe so that the SSMS client can talk to the SQL Server Browser service.
I actually see people having this problem surprisingly often so I wrote up an explanation here: http://blog.dereenigne.com/microsoft-sql-server-dynamic-ports-windows-firewall-and-you/
If you're trying to connect to an SQL Server Express instance as is my case right now... it doesn't use port 1433 by default. One must check the IpAll => TCP Dynamic Ports in Sql Server Configuration Manager. Mine is 52848.
After entering the correct port 52848 in DbSchema app (the one I'm trying to use), it connected successfully.
Check the following screenshot:
This is the way to go:
The default SQL Server express installation does not enable TCP
network protocols, so here are some steps to take to be able to
communicate with SQL Server Express. These steps should be similar for
MS SQL Server Express 2017, 2016, 2014, 2012, 2008, and 2005.
Launch the SQL Server Configuration Manager. It should be in the Start -> Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> Configuration Tools start menu option.
Select the SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration tab. There should be a Protocols for SQLExpress option, and one of the protocols should be TCP IP.
Enable the TCP IP protocol if it is not enabled.
The default port for SQL Express may not be 1433. To find the port it is listening on, right-click on the TCP IP protocol and scroll all the way down to the IP All heading. There should be a section called TCP Dynamic Ports. This should list the port SQL Express is listening on. You can then put this value into the port field when adding the connection profile via RazorSQL.
Make sure to restart SQL Express before trying to connect.

I had multiple NICs in my server. When I went to SQL Server Network Configuration -> TCP/IP and right clicked for properties there was a list of the NICs and at the bottom was the open port for my SQLEXPRESS. It was not 1433..... I do not know if there is a default but mine was in the 49,000 s.
