I have a Firebird Database (v2.5) which lives on a server with hostname "FBDEVDB". I am working on a separate server on which I have installed SQL Server to begin the process of migrating the tables and data into a SQL Server database.
I saw several posts discussing that this can be done using the Import Data feature of SSMS with an ODBC connection to the Firebird DB. So, I have downloaded and installed the Firebird ODBC Driver 64-Bit. When I went to configure my DSN I first got an error regarding a missing gds32.dll. Looking into it further, I realized I needed the fbclient.dll from the Firebird files. I've copied it over to my SQL Server machine, and now the gds32.dll error is gone, and I can tell it is TRYING to connect to the Firebird instance because if I provide an incorrect username/password it tells me my login is incorrect.
However, when I use a valid login/password, I get the following error message
I have defined the following fields in the ODBC setup
Database: FBDEVDB::C:\Firebird\MYDATABASE.FDB
Client: C:\Temp\fbclient.dll
Database Account: SYSDBA with VALID PASSWORD
What am I missing? I can not seem to find any information on what this error means.
Thank you!!!!!

My objective is to use the migration tool in SQL Developer to migrate 2 SQL Server databases to Oracle. I am attempting to connect to a SQL Server database at a remote location using Oracle SQL Developer 4.0.
I have installed jtds.1.3.0.jar per instructions, and get the SQL Server and Sybase tabs in the connection properties window.
I have entered the user, pw, hostname, port, and database name. When I try to Retrieve Database, or connect, I get the error message:
Status : Failure -Test failed: I/O Error: DB server closed connection.
The SQL Server DBA tells me her error logs contain the following error message:
Encryption is required to connect to this server but the client library does not support encryption; the connection has been closed. Please upgrade your client library. [CLIENT: (my computer's IP address)] Error: 17835, Severity: 20, State: 1.
When I look at SQL Server documentation about this error message, it talks about certificates and SQL Server Connection Manager. Some relevant information to show that I've covered the basics:
Using the same connection parameters, I am able to connect to the SQL Server database using Toad for SQL Server.
Using the same connection parameters, a DBA set up an Oracle Transparent Gateway, and I can connect to the SQL Server database using the gateway and a database link. (As far as I know, neither of these methods required a certificate to connect.)
Both of these use ODBC; SQL Developer uses jdbc with TCP/IP.
The DBA assures me TCP/IP connection is turned on for the SQL Server databases.
I have gone into the XML file where SQL Developer stores the connection string. It has the form jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://sql-xxx-xxx.mw.nos.xxx.com:1433/my_db, which looks correct. I have tweaked it by adding the instance name, but no difference. The database has a default instance name, anyway, so it shouldn't be necessary.
A co-worker has been able to connect to a local SQL Server database on the same machine where SQL Developer was running (both on his laptop).
As a workaround, I am also pursuing the possibility of installing SQL Server on a local workstation, and copying the databases there for processing, but I don't know if I can get approval. If you know another tool for migrating from SQL Server to Oracle, please also let me know.
Thanks in advance.
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..
I'm new to SQL Server. I'm trying to create a new data source through ODBC Data Source Administrator for accessing a SQL Server database file (.mdf).
I first experienced an error msg
[TCP/IP Sockets]Specified SQL server not found
when running SQL Server ODBC Data Source Test.
After following all the steps in http://www.ceus-now.com/how-to-connect-to-ms-sql-express/, the previous error msg disappears and the tests are successful.
The connection seems to be successful. But then I experienced another problem is that, I could not choose the database. According to https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1471/sql-server-dsn-and-odbc-configuration/ .
The problem might be "If using Windows security, you as the DSN creator, do not have rights to the database". Could someone help me solve this problem please? I really appreciate it! Thank you in advance!
I'm using Windows NT authentication. I'm using SQL Server 2014 (v12.0.2000). SQL Server connect to WORKSTATIONNAME/SQLEXPRESS.
I'm failing to connect to a SQL server SQLExpress. The connection worked fine a few days ago.
This is how I tried to connect (I'm using Microsoft SQL server management studio):
connection = pyodbc.connect("DSN=sqlServer; UID=myuser;PWD=mypassword")
cursor = connection.cursor()
The error I get:
('HYT00', '[HYT00] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Login timeout expired (0) (SQLDriverConnect)')
In the ODBC Data Source Administrator, when I test the data source I get:
I got the similar issue.
The problem was actually I was using "SQL Server" as the driver in my ODBC settings in my DSN.
The driver should be "SQL Server Native Client 11.0".
It fixed the issue for me.
Because you are having the same issue in the ODBC Data Source Administrator I would try to focus on that first not on your code.
Here you can find a list with possible problems
Maybe this can help you find out what the problem is.
I also would try to connect with the SQL Server Management Studio.
Maybe it is possible to connect with a different user or via Windows login.
That would mean that your user might not exist anymore (maybe because you renewed tha database or something).
Also I sometimes have the problem that the SQL Server is not started either locally or on the server.
Maybe you could check if the service is started and the database is running.
Aware that this topic has been raised many times here (I have gone through the posts), but none of the suggestion on the posts has resolved my issue.
When I attempt to create a linked server to the oracle database from SQL Server Management Studio, I get the error:
Cannot create an instance of OLE DB Provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' for
linker server ''. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7302)
My understanding of this error is that the Oracle provider is not installed correctly or not at all.
To check this I ran 'ODBC Data Source Administrator (64-bit) and attempted to add the provider (which was not available).
To resolve this I fully installed Oracle 10g Client as an admin and restarted the server. I added the new oracle bin folder to the environment %PATH% as well as %TNS_ADMIN% to point to the tnsnames.ora file.
I have run 'tnsping' using the value specified in the tnsname.ora file and it is able to connect.
I have exhausted my ideas to get the oracle provider recognised by the ODBC 64 bit connector.
Does anyone have any idea that could resolve this issue?
Thank you for any help.
The solution was to follow the steps suggested by Dmitry. However, make sure you carry out the following step:
C:\Users\dbrowne\Downloads\ODAC121010Xcopy_x64>.\install.bat oledb
c:\oracle\odac64 odac64 true
as an admin!
