I'm trying to connect with .net to a remote sybase sql anywhere database.
I don't see much info online how to connect, mostly ODBC or DSN files.
I tried this connection string:
Data Source=myserver.com;Port=2638;Uid=myuser;Pwd=mypass
Which gives the following error
Invalid connection string. Invalid or missing keyword near 'Port'
Parameter name: connectionString
So I tried to include the port with the server, like this:
Data Source=myserver.com:2638;Uid=myuser;Pwd=mypass
Which gives a new error:
DSN 'myserver:2638' does not exist
So, what is the correct connection string?
PS. Using sybase central, I was able to connect to the database, so it's not a network / firewall / port issue.
Thanks!
You want to use HOST=myserver.com:2638;uid=myuser;pwd=mypass. The list of valid connection parameters is documented here.

Full Error: System.NotSupportedException: 'The keyword 'Network Library' is not supported on this platform, prefix the 'Data Source' with the protocol desired instead ('tcp:' for a TCP connection, or 'np:' for a Named Pipe connection).'
Connection string: "Data Source=tcp:88.88.88.88,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=ManagerZ;User ID=....;Password=....;"
Im using ASP trying to connect to sql server db i host on my computer. I tried prefixing but i dont get it how i should do because i still get the error only using EF Core. On my desktop app with SqlClient everything works. Im also allowing tcp connections trough my firewall. Any ideas?
Found the fix had change the connection string:
"Data Source=88.88.888.8888,1433;Initial Catalog=ManagerZ; Integrated Security=False;User ID=....;Password=....;"
Aniki your answer is correct but lets point out that in the new string you must remove "Network Library=DBMSSOCN" from the connection string.
I've tried to connect an SQL database from a server with Microstrategy located in another server through an ODBC connector for SQL.
First I've checked that there is a connection between the two servers executing a ping sentence with the IP Address the other server and it went through.
After making sure the connection is stablished without issues, I've tried to connect through Microstrategy without success. The error I get is the following message:
"Connection test error: Connect failed. Error type Odbc error. Odbc operation attempted: SQLDriverConnect (08001:0: on SQLHANDLE)"
Using SQL Server 2017 for the databases and Microstrategy 10.4.
Please, anybody has any clue about what might be happening?
Thanks,
look at the type of connector to the db you have. It gave me the same error until I used: "with Native Client Driver".
Could you please share the complete error message, SQL Handle error are associated with multiple error scenarios like invalid username * password, connecting 64 bit server with 32 bit ODBC driver etc. Complete error message would help me to debug it.
In general follow the steps to debug the error, (any order)
Check the version of ODBC Connection (64bit / 32 bit), it should be the same as server version.
Try testing the ODBC connection that you have created using ODBC Administrator tools to see whether there is an problem with username & password/server name or database connection issue.
Check the Database Instance/Database Connection/User Login created under the Administration option to ensure everything is working and give the correct value.
if nothing works try using the native driver given by MicroStrategy, you can access this using Connectivity Wizard.
Hope it helps..
While making a database connection in pentaho report designer using JDBC, I am getting the following error :
Error connecting to database [database_name] : org.pentaho.di.core.exception.KettleDatabaseException:
Error occured while trying to connect to the database
Error connecting to database: (using class net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver)
Network error IOException: Permission denied: connect
org.pentaho.di.core.exception.KettleDatabaseException:
Error occured while trying to connect to the database
I can't comment unfortunately, and without more information my answer will be a shot in the dark, therefore I will attempt to describe the perfect connection that you can use to connect to SQL Server 2008 via JTDS.
Put the jar that came with the JTDS package here: pentaho\report-designer\lib\jdbc.
If you wish to take advantage of the Windows Authentication, also grab the ntmlauth.dll file and put it in either System32 (for 64 bit Windows) or SysWOW64 (for 32 bit Windows, that's up to your configuration*). Fire up report designer.
New database connection:
Give it a connection name.
Set connection type to MS SQL Server, Native JDBC connection. The "MS
SQL Server(Native)" connection did not work for me.
Host name: the server's name where the Database sits. Server1, for
example.
Database Name: Take a wild guess what this might be. Yup, here you
enter your database name. Northwind, for example.
Instance name: Instance name, if you have any. Not mandatory.
Port number: default SQL server port is 1433.
User name / password: define one that has access to the database.
Leave it blank if you listened to me earlier and put the .dll file in
the right directory to use Windows Authentication.
Rejoice.
IN CASE you ever need the connection string and driver for SQL server connection:
driver: net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver
URL (or string): jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://HostName:1433/databaseName
*let's not get caught up on the obviously challenged naming convention. I know, I know.
I've been looking all over the internet for an answer, and I didn't find anything.
I am trying på make a connection between Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and SQL Server Management Studio. I just made a small program just to see if the connection works.
Everytime I'm trying to connect, VS throws an ODBCexception.
"ERROR [HY000] [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server
on 'localhost' (10061)"
This is my connectionstring:
DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};Data Source=MY-USERNAME\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=MY-DATABASE;Integrated Security=True
This connection string was copied from a data connection I've made inside VS.
Do any one have the magic solution???
Please and thank you! :)
Best regards!
Right now, you're mixing the MySQL driver (DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}) with a Microsoft SQL Server Express server name (Data Source=MY-USERNAME\\SQLEXPRESS;) - which one do you really want to connect to??
If you want to connect to SQL Server Express (which comes bundled with Visual Studio), you need to use the native .NET SQL client (and not the ODBC stuff).
In that case, your connection string would be something like:
server=YourMachine\\SQLEXPRESS;Database=MYDATABASE;Integrated Security=True
or something similar - see ConnectionStrings.com for tons of samples.
In this case, you should use classes like SqlConnection, SqlCommand, SqlDataReader from the System.Data.SqlClient namespace in your application.
This question is old but here is to guide anyone who had a problem like mine. In setting up Diafaan SMS server, i had the same problem. The problem was in the syntax. Note that in declaring the Server, Database, User and Password do not use quotes. That is why the error says 'localhost' remove all the single quotes from your connection string.
Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};SERVER=localhost;DATABASE= yourdatabase;User= root;Password = yourpassword;
Make sure your 3306 port is not blocked even if you are connecting to a remote MySql database. I got into same issue and it resolved once we opened the 3306 port.
Sorry if this is the most seen question on the web, but this is my turn. I am trying to publish my asp.net mvc app on IIS 7 under MS Sql Server 2008. I am on a Windows Server 2008 virtual machine. I get the following classical 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: SQL Network
Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating
Server/Instance Specified)
Under SQLServer, Allow remote connections is checked. My connection string is:
Data Source=.\MSSQLSERVER;Initial Catalog=mydbname;User Id=sa;Password=mypassword
I also tried with no username/password and "Integrated Security=true". There is only one instance of SQLServer installed.
I tried to access my web page locally and remotely. There is no active firewall on the virtual machine.
Make sure you have TCP/IP set up as a transport in your SQL Server configuration tool.
Thanks guys for the try. I found the solution and it is related to an info that I forgot to give. I hope it can help someone as new as me on these things.
I use NHibernate, and the connection string is actually in the nhibernate.cfg.xml file. The one in the web.config file is actually used by my various providers (users/roles). I fixed that by removing the connection string from the NH config file. I now retrieve it with:
string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.
ConnectionStrings["myConnectString"].ConnectionString;
and I set it in NH with:
Configuration cfg = new Configuration();
cfg.Configure(cfgFile);
cfg.SetProperty(NHibernate.Cfg.Environment.ConnectionString, connectionString);
Now I get:
Cannot open database "mydb"
requested by the login. The login
failed. Login failed for user 'NT
AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'.
But this is another story, for another question if I can't find the answer.
PS: I had to use "." as the server name otherwise .\MSSQLSERVER was producing a new error "invalid connection string". Thx Ian and Jared for the tip.
is that the actual data source line from the web config?
If so then it's should be in quotes of course, for safety add a ; on the end and check that is the actual name of your instance, you can check windows services for your instance name.
try substituting localhost instead of . and can you connect from sql server management studio using the credentials in your connection string?
As mentioned by Robert, try:
ConnectionString="Data Source=(LOCAL)\MSSQLSERVER;Initial Catalog=mydbname;User ID=sa;Password=mypassword"
I'm not sure if connection strings are case sensitve, but I notice that you have 'Id' instead of 'ID'.
Edit:
Am not sure if you need \MSSQLSERVER?
are you sure it's a named instance of SQL?
try
Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=mydbname;User Id=sa;Password=mypassword
UPDATE:
from this site
did you try the following:
Make sure the server machine is reachable, e.g, DNS can be resolve correctly, you are able to ping the server (not always true).
Make sure SQL Browser service is running on the server.
If firewall is enabled on the server, you need to put sqlbrowser.exe and/or UDP port 1434 into exception.
Well I am facing the same above issue since morning (past 8 hours) did lots of stuff like create a Domain Name, setup a new application pool identity but nothing worked :(
I just made a small changes in web.config file for connection string that is:
Integrated Security=False instead of True... and now it is working perfectly
