I tried to connect my database using the default Sql Server driver and it doesn't work, but from my computer with the same configuration I can connect to the Management Studio.
The error is time out, it can't find the database, but the
configuration is correct!
If you give some more information than that would be helpful, Do you have installed correct (JDBC) driver btw? Also, see this link if it is helpful to you Click here

Recently I installed LocalDb Serer on my laptop. I am trying to establish a connection between Navicat and LocalDB server. But unable to get the correct Host Name/IP Address for the LocalDB server.
I noticed by default LocalDB server always creates an instance named MSSQLLocalDB when started.
I've searched internet but couldn't find the exact solution for my problem in navicat premium software. Here is the error I am getting.
Excuse me if I've posted this in the wrong forum.
EDIT After some try I am getting this error. I don't think there is anything wrong in the instance name.
Install the Native SQL Client, as the error message suggests.
Download ENU\x64\sqlncli.msi from www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52676
This is my first time using it, I come from a PHP/MYSQL background and a client is asking me to assist with his MSSQL database and he gave me a file which is the exported database, it doesn't have an extension though.
I downloaded and installed Microsoft SQL Server Management studio but I'm not sure what to do, the tutorials online seem to be able to connect to the local server, on my end when I browse for a Server name I can't find anything under "Local server".
If it helps, the client have informed me that his previous developer (the one who seems to have had a conflict with the client and left) was using the same application with the server type set to "Database engine" and the Authentication set to "Windows Authentication", that's all the information I have.
Please help. Thanks.
If you installed a default instance of SQL Server with Management Studio, use the server name "localhost". If you only installed SQL Server Management Studio, you will need to at least download SQL Express: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/sql-server-editions/sql-server-express.aspx
Also, note that if you develop in the latest version of SQL Server, you will not be able to back up and restore to the client's database if the client uses an older version. You will need to ensure all changes are scripted or use dacpacs (which you probably won't use).
I use RAD Studio 2010 including latest updates 4 and 5, my database is SQL Server Express.
I set up a TSQLConnection but it won't connect, error message is "DBX-Error: the driver could not be initialized correctly. A client library may be missing, may not be installed correctly, or may have the wrong version" (error messagetranslated from German).
Connecting to the database via TADOConnection works fine with both ADO drivers ("Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server" and "SQL Native Client").
Can anybody give me a hint how to connect via dbExpress?
you need to install the sql native client, if you read the read me that comes with RAD studio 2010 its says that it is a requirement for connecting to sql server 2000/2005/2008
I’ve also discovered that in dbxdrivers.ini they haven’t added the proper option for MSSQL 2000/2005 you need to edit the top bit to add in MSSQL9=1
example:
[Installed Drivers]
DBXTrace=1
DBXPool=1
BlackfishSQL=1
DataSnap=1
ASA=1
ASE=1
DB2=1
Firebird=1
Informix=1
Interbase=1
MSSQL=1
MSSQL9=1
MySQL=1
Oracle=1
you can then select MSSQL9 as a dbExpress option and it should also appear in data explorer as well
I had a similiar issue with Delphi XE2 ad SQL Server 2005. I uninstalled and installed several versions (including MSSQL 2008 R2) of SQL Native Client to no avail. But adding MSSQL9=1 to the ini file worked.
Maybe this thread on the EDN (Embarcadero Developer Network) can be helpful.
When I try to create a new Maintenance Plan in SQL Server, I get the following warning:
The action you attempted to perform on
a remote instance of SQL Server has
failed because the action requires a
SQL Server component that is not
installed on the remote computer. To
proceed, install SQL Server 2005
Management Tools on the remote
computer, and then try again. For more
information, see "How to: Install SQL
Server 2005 (Setup)" in SQL Server
2005 Books Online, or find the article
on MSDN at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=57083
. (ObjectExplorer)
However, the tools are installed, AFAIK. I'm connecting to the local machine. Here's a screenshot of both the error message alongside SQL Server telling me it won't install the management tools because they are already there.
(previous step here)
Any ideas?
Ah - nevermind on this. The response is simply a bit misleading. It's only complaining about part of what I was asking to install. When I decided to progress, it did in fact install some things.
I have two issues both related to (I believe) my SQL Server setup. I have installed SQL Server (the full thing) from MSDN downloads of the x64 version on my Vista 64 Home Premium box. After running into multiple issues I finally got it working. This is a new box so I ported over a database that I need to work on from another server. That also worked fine. My first issue however came when I tried to open a database in SQL Server Management Studio:
"Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed. (System.Data)"
The box itself isn't new and definitely has .NET installed (version 3 I believe). I found that someone posted this as a bug but as the team (SQL Server team) could not reproduce it, they removed it. I've tried installing the recommended SP3 patch to no avail. It's only when I try to open a table for viewing the data (right-click and "Open Table"). I can even execute queries and retrieve results (from inside management studio). I'll follow pretty much any suggestion to try and get this working.
My second issue is that I cannot connect to the server. I thought I could just work around it (with queries), but I did not find that it added any ODBC connections on the box, just the drivers. Management Studio can access the DB just fine, but the machine itself doesn't appear to recognize that anything is running on it, at least on the default port (1433) and no, I do not have a named instance. When trying to manually add the server to the DSN or any datasources it cannot find the SQL server (under Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC). Under SQL Server Management Studio it appears as a registered database server (I think this is because it connects on port 1434 from what I hear? not sure). This is my primary problem, and even if I can't open the tables (the first issue) I absolutely NEED to be able to set it up so that I can connect to it. The language source I am connecting from is ColdFusion which is set up as a stand-alone server (IIS not installed, not using it right now).
As for connecting to it, make sure all the services are running. SQL Server Agent in particular.
Also, check in the SQL Server 2005 Surface Area configuration for Services and Connections. Check under "Remote Connections" to see if "local and remote" connections are on. It might be set to "local only".
CF versions 6+ do not use the OS's ODBC connections. They use JDBC over IP to connect. You need to make sure you have allowed TCP/IP connections to the DB using the SQL Server Configuration Studio. Then, use the Data Sources page in the CF Administrator page (usually localhost:port/cfide/administrator, replacing "port" with the port you're using for the CF built-in server).
Why though, would it default to this
and why would this be an issue with my
own machine (local testing)?
SQL Server 2005 is meant to be more secure by default, so not all the protocols are opened up by default.
Sql Server Agent doesn't have anything
to do with remote connections, but I
seemed to recall there being an issue
with doing discovery on the network if
the Agent wasn't started
Maybe you're thinking of the SQL Browser with named instances.
Did you try this process?
