the new build-in database in AnyLogic 7.3 allows to connect to a SQL Server database. I am struggling to connect it to a local database that I set up using SQL Management Studio (using SQL Server 2008 R2).
A few more facts to clarify:
My dbase is called "myDBase" and has a db_owner called "myNewLogin".
I log into SQL Management Studio using "Server type" = Database engine. The Server name is "NAMEOFMYMACHINE\SQLEXPRESS". I set "Authentication" to Windows authentication
my login "myNewLogin" is set to use "SQL Server authentication" in its properties. It uses "myPassword" as a password (but doesn't enforce it)
I set up the AnyLogic import wizard as below:
I have tried to use different inputs (such as "sa" for the Login,...) but in any combination, I always get the error
"Login failed for user ..."
I have also turned off my Windows firewall to allow port 1433 communication, but the result is the same.
Have you been able to load from a local SQL Server database? How did you set it up, which versions did you use... The more specific your reply, the better.
thx a lot in advance
Thanks again for your help.
I fixed the problem by installing SQL Server 2014 (was 2008) and logging in using "Mixed Method" with a "sa" account.
have you tried host: localhost\sqlexpress ?

I am using WINDOWS 10 PRO 64 OS and Installed SQL server 2012 with both Windows authentication and SQL server authentication both mixed.When I am trying to login into the SQL server with SQL server Authentication with default Username as :sa
and Password as :123,it is throwing error unable to connect to the server ,Error:233.I have tried every thing by enabling tcp/ip and Named pipes.Also changed the windows fire wall setting for port.Below is the screen shot of the error.Please find me the solution.enter image description here
try (localhost)/INSTANCE_NAME. For example, I'm assuming your machine name is MADHUBABU-PC, so try MADHUBABU-PC\SQLEXPRESS. (I'm not sure what you named your sql instance.)
Here is a nice link to find your instance name: How to find server name of SQL Server Management Studio
I've downloaded and installed SQL Server 2014 Express on Windows 10, I've been through this loop at least 3 times now. The installation completes without warnings or errors. I have chosen to use Window authentication. I'm trying to use HeidiSQL to connect to SQL Server. I already have MariaDB installation and am able to connect to that using HeidiSQL.
When I connect to MariaDB I am able to select Databases from the drop down combo, but not for SQL Server. I don't seem to be able to connect with HeidiSQL.
In HeidiSQL, the settings are:
Network type: Microsoft SQL Server (TCP/IP, experimental)
Hostname / IP: 127.0.0.1
Ticked checkbox 'Use Windows authentication'
Port: 1433
I can't select a Database, if I click on the Open button after a while it comes up with:
SQL Error(17): [DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (COnnect()).]SQL does not exist or access denied SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
In order to use HeidiSQL's network type Microsoft SQL Server (TCP/IP), you need to activate TCP/IP protocol in your MSSQL configuration.
Further on, I am unsure if Windows authentication worked for me, as I'm always using the default SA user, which is created while installing SQL Server.
Apart from that, you should be able to connect using <yourmachine>\SQLEXPRESS on port 1433.
Use Microsoft SQL Server (named pipe) as Network type and .\SQLEXPRESS for Hostname / IP
SQL Server Express by default installs as a named instance called SQLEXPRESS - so for your "hostname", try one of these:
.\SQLEXPRESS
(local)\SQLEXPRESS
yourmachine\SQLEXPRESS
your-ip-address\SQLEXPRESS
Those should work.
I built a window application in visual studio 2010. It is working fine at my computer.
if i have a pc that works with windows server 2008 and i install a sql server on it , how to make my application connect to database in the sql server that instaled in the server pc .
my pc connected to the server domain .
thanks
Assuming your application is already configured to use a Sql connection string, you'll just need to configure it for the Sql Server instance you're connecting to.
For example, if your database is called MyDatabase, and your windows server on your domain is called myserver.local, and you've installed Sql Express with the default SQLEXPRESS instance name, you could create your connection string (assuming ADO.NET) something like this:
Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase;Data Source=myserver.local\SQLEXPRESS
This configuration would be for Windows Authentication (Integrated Security=true): so your domain user accounts would need to be granted LOGIN rights on the server, and those Logins associated with USERS and ROLES in your database. If you wanted to use Sql Logins instead (generally requires extra configuration when setting up your Sql Server), there are different connection strings settings for specifying username and passwords. There are many options available for the connection strings as documented here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.connectionstring(v=vs.110).aspx. However, with Windows Authentication the only 3 you absolutely need are the ones shown above.
You can test connectivity to your Sql Server from your PC on the network using Sql Server Management Studio, which will enable you to verify the instance name and the authentication is working as expected if you can connect to the database.
I just installed SQL Server 2008 Express on my Vista SP1 machine. I previously had 2005 on here and used it just fine with the old SQL Server Management Studio Express. I was able to connect with no problems to my PC-NAME\SQLEXPRESS instance (no, PC-NAME is not my computer name ;-).
I uninstalled 2005 and SQL Server Management Studio Express. I then installed SQL Server 2008 Express on my machine and elected to have it install SQL Server Management Studio Basic.
Now, when I try to connect to PC-NAME\SQLEXPRESS (with Windows Authentication, like I always did), I get the following message:
Cannot connect to PC-NAME\SQLEXPRESS.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible.

When I installed SQL Server 2008, I had it use SQLEXPRESS as the local instance name. As far as I can tell, through SQL Server Configuration Manager, SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
When I went to the help link it mentions, the help page suggests the following:
Make sure that the SQL Server Browser service is started on the server.
Use the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool to enable SQL Server to accept remote connections. For more information about the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration Tool, see Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections.
Well, as far as I can tell, there is no SQL Server Browser service on my system (looked in MMC for one, couldn't find one).
And the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool doesn't exist in SQL Server 2008. So good job there with your help documentation, Microsoft ;-).
I'm at a loss for what to do right now. I had a lot of work I was hoping to get done today after upgrading to 2008 (the person I'm working with got it up and running with no problem and told me it would be easy - he's also far better with database stuff that I am). Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? I'd really appreciate it. If I can't get this working in a few hours, I'm going back to SQL Server 2005 (if that will even work, gah...).
Edit: I have tried turning Windows Firewall off, and that did not help. Also, I noticed that I do not have a "Data" directory under my SQL Server 2008 install directory tree - could I have possibly set something up wrong when I installed it?
Please check the ServerName which you provided. It should match with the below shown Name in the UserName textbox, and that name should followed with \SQLEXPRESS:
Start your Local SQL Server Service
Start SQL Config Manager: Click Start -> Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 -> SQL Server
Configuration Manager
Start SQL Services: Set the SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) and SQL Server Browser services to automatic
start mode. Right-click each service -> Properties -> Go into the Service Tab
This will ensure they start up again if you restart your computer. Please check to ensure the state is "Running" for both services.
Login and authenticate with your Local SQL Server
Now open up SQL Server Management Studio and click "Connect to Object
Explorer" and select Server Name:
[Your PC name]\SQLEXPRESS
Example: 8540P-KL\SQLEXPRESS or (localhost)\SQLEXPRESS
To find your PC name: Right click My Computer -> Properties ->
Computer Name tab
Alternative: Login using windows authentication: Using the user name [Your
Domain]/[Your User Name]
Setup User Account
Create a new Login acct: In SQL Mgmt Studio -> Expand your local Server -> Security -> Right
click on Logins -> New Login
Set Password settings on New User Account: Uncheck Enforce password policy, password expiration and user must
change pw(Since this is local) Default database -> Your Database
Grant roles to New User Account: User Mapping Page -> Map to your db and grant db_owner role Status
Page -> Grant Permission to connect and Enable Login
Setup Access Permissions/Settings for User
Enable all auth modes: Right click your Local Server -> Properties -> Security Tab -> Enable
SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode
Enable TCP/IP: Open SQL Server Configuration Manager -> SQL Server Network
Configuration -> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS -> Enable TCP/IP
Restart SQL Server Service: You will have to restart the SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) after enabling TCP/IP
Database Properties File for Spring Project

Setting up a Local Instance of SQL Server 2008 Blog Post:
I used (LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB as the server name, I was then able to see all the local databases.
Haha, oh boy, I figured it out. Somehow, someway, I did not install the Database Engine when I installed SQL Server 2008. I have no idea how I missed that, but that's what happened.
I know this question is old, but in case it helps anyone make sure the SQL Server Browser is running in the Services MSC. I installed SQL Server Express 2008 R2 and the SQL Server Browser Service was set to Disabled.
Start->Run->Services.msc
Find "SQL Server Browser"->Right Click->Properties
Set Startup Type to Automatic->Click Apply
Retry your connection.
I've just solved a problem related to this which may help other people.
Initially when loading up MSSMSE it had the server as PC_NAME\SQLEXPRESS and when I tried to connect it gave me Error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified, so I went into SQL Server Configuration Manager to check if my SQL Server Browser and SQL Server services were running and set to automatic, only to find that instead of saying SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) it says SQL Server(MSSQLSERVER).
I then tried connecting to PC-NAME\MSSQLSERVER and this time got SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid) (MicrosoftSQL Server, Error: 87) The parameter is incorrect so I googled this error and found that somebody had suggested that instead of using PC-NAME\MSSQLSERVER just use PC-NAME as the Server Name at the server connection interface, and this seems to work.
There's a link here http://learningsqlserver.wordpress.com/2011/01/21/what-version-of-sql-server-do-i-have/ which explains that MSSQLSERVER is the default instance and can be connected to by using just your hostname.
I think this may have arisen because I've had SQL Server 2008 installed at some point in the past.
Under Configuration Manager and Network Configuration and Protocols for your instance is TCP/IP Enabled? That could be the problem.
var.connectionstring = "server=localhost; database=dbname; integrated security=yes"
or
var.connectionstring = "server=localhost; database=dbname; login=yourlogin; pwd=yourpass"
For me, I was only able to get it to work by using "." in the server name field; was banging away for awhile trying different combos of the user name and server name. Note that during install of the server (ie this file: SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe) i checked default instance which defaults the name to MSSQLSERVER; the above high voted answers might be best used for separate named (ie when you need more than 1) server instances.
both of these videos helped me out:
use dot for server name: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLrxFXXeLFk
general setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vng0P8Gfx2g
One of the first things that you should check is that the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) is started. You can go to the Services Console (services.msc) and look for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) to see that it is started. If not, then start the service.
You could also do this through an elevated command prompt by typing net start mssqlserver.
For me it was a windows firewall issue. Allow incoming connections. Opening port didn't work but allow programs did.

I have VS 2008 Professional Edition. After the installation (which included SQL Server 2008), I decided to install SQL Server 2008 Express Edition with Advanced Tools (so I could get SQL Server Management Studio on it). So I uninstalled the SQL Express that came with VS 2008, and installed the standalone SQL Server Express 2008 version with advanced tools.
However, When I try to logon onto SQL Server Management Studio using:
.\SQLEXPRESS
as Server name and Windows Authentication as the authentication, I get the following message:
TITLE: Connect to Server

Any suggestions on how to get it to work? I have tried disabling Windows Firewall as well and still no luck.
I am using WIndows Vista and SQL Server 2008 Express SP1 Patch has also been applied recently.
FIX: For those interested:
I did not have any of the Instance Based installation installed (i.e. the Database engine). I Installed the instance based stuff and it fixed it!

Setting up a Local Instance of SQL Server 2008 Blog Post:
you can look for your instance name in SQL Server Configuration Manager. It is written between brackets after SQL Server service in the services list.
the . notation is correct and it's the same as (local)
Did you try using (local)\SQLEXPRESS in the name? I've not seen that . notation before.
Scott,
I had to enable SQL Server Browser in services once I did that I was able to connect on My recent install.
after that I only had to use the computer name as the server.
edit,
while researching further on finding sql server browser, noted that reporting services, service showed its instance as .\computer name.
try that as the server name.
edit again change to backslash been playing with linux recently :)
There is a possibility that you installed as Default instance. In this case, try connecting using (local) - just (local).
Then go to Programs/Microsoft SQL Server/Configuration Tools/SQL Server Configuration Manager. Go to SQL Server Network Configuration/Protocols for MSSQLSERVER and enable Named Pipes.
Have you tried looking at the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration? You might only have SQL Authentication setup and might need to enable Network and SQL Authentication.

I have an application that uses a connection string trough VSOT in Word 2007.
The application gave a connection error.
I allways install Sql server 2008 Express R2 in mixed mode so that i can use the build in sa with i password to connect.
I re-entered the password to be sure its correct. In a next step i opened:
‘Configuration manager’ in ‘Program files’ ‘Microsoft Sql Server 2008’ –->’ Configuration Tools’ and set all the other instances on the properties --> hide instance 'yes'
That solved the problem in my case.

If you still have problems connecting to SQL Express 2008,
read this article
