DreamFactory and MS SQL Server - sql-server

Can you use DreamFactory with MS SQL Server (non-azure) install on my local server? I am trying to find rest service that will work with my AngularJS app.

Yes, DreamFactory DSP supports MS SQL Server (azure or local install). DSP installs are not currently supported on Windows OS, but you can connect to your local install of your database as a remote SQL DB service from any DSP using the same setup as noted here. DSPs come with several sample apps, one of which is AngularJS based. If you have more questions about db connections or using Angular, please see http://dreamfactory.com/developers/support.

How can I connect to SQL Server directly from Android with an C++ Builder FMX application

I get the following error when I try to connect to SQL Server directly with a C++Builder 10.2 Tokyo application. I couldn't locate the library requested despite all my searching.
Can anyone help? I'm at a crossroad to decide to continue with C++Builder or Xamarin.
Do you have C++ Builder Enterprise or Architect edition? You need this to connect to SQL Server using FireDAC. C++ Builder Professional edition can only connect to local databases.
Looking at this page:
Embarcadero Microsoft SQL interface
suggests to me that Microsoft SQL with Android client is not supported.
FDConnection is FMX compatible, but the drivers for various OSes are not.
There's a company called Devart that develops direct access connectivity for RAD studio mobile devices; Not sure if this will work if you only have C++ builder; but worth a try;
I'm currently in the same pickle and I'm busy writing a tcpclient/server proxy fmx app that will run on a windows server[where the mssql driver will work]
The idea is to connect from mobile device with tcp client to tcp server component running on windows and have that app grab the info i need for mobile app. Not the fastest solution in long run as you have to do all your authentication and encryption yourself and not the cheapest either as it requires an online windows server or pc... but if you already have it, you might as well use it.
Will update if it succeeds or fails

How to connect Android Studio with SQL Server database hosted in aws rds?

We currently have a .net application which is using MSSQL database hosted in aws rds instance. Now we are trying to build a application in android using the already existing database. But i'm not getting how to connect. First i tried if there are any sdk available to directly communicate. Unfortunately no such options are available. I tried with normal php api to connect with aws rds. But it works only for mysql server.
Thank you.

The installation on the client computer is required?

I have a software that accesses a SQL database in the cloud. The SQL installation must be done on the client pc or my program already can access it regardless?
Your client only needs OLE DB Provider or an ODBC driver. Since your using SQL Sever, you can use the SQL Sever Native Client. More information and downloads can be found here.
Usually you don't install SQL Server or other large RDBMS on the client. Usually this is accessed via Intranet (or less frequently over internet).
You will need to tell us more details.

Linux + Django + SQLServer

I am writing a Django application which needs to intereact with a SQLServer Database. I use the Django MSSQL Backend ADO.
I am trying to use it in a Linux machine (CentOS 6.4), but for the moment I am not able to establish the connection.
Anyone has suceeded on it or knows if it is possible to connect to django-mssql from a Linux environment?
Note: I've found this question but it is quite old. I am looking for an up-to-date answer.
Edit: The error I am receiving is the following. Remark that it is a Linux machine.
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: 'sqlserver_ado' isn't an available database backend.
Edit 2: PyWin32 is a requirement for the django-mssql package. But is possible any workaround for Linux?
Django-MSSQL only works on Windows, hence the pywin32 dependency (Actually, anything ADO is Windows dependent since it's built on Microsoft's ActiveX).
Try Django-SQLServer. It's based on Django-MSSQL but can pass info using python-tds which is not platform specific.
I will suggest to use django-pyodbc-azure instead of Django-MSSQL
Supports Django 2.0.3
Supports Microsoft SQL Server 2008/2008R2, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017 and Azure SQL Database
Compatible with Micosoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server, SQL Server
Native Client, and FreeTDS ODBC drivers

Hosting Sharepoint and SQL Server off same server

Is it possible to host Sharepoint and SQL Server off the same server for small time testing. Environment would be set up for purely education purposes. Non-production. Thanks.
Yes. We do this also. Works like a charm.
Your best bet would be to use a simple virtual environment (I quiet like VirtualBox) and then run a server operating system on there, install SQL Server (if it is only for testing SQL Server express would be sufficient) and then install SharePoint. When you have installed SharePoint you will be better removing the default web application it adds for you and then adding your own as you will be able to link the new application's database easily to the instance of SQL on your SQL server.
Don't forget that if you are looking at using SharePoint 2010 it all has to be 64bit...
Minimum development environment for sharepoint 2007 webparts
Hope this helps anyway...
It is possible, but SQL server likes to use up all the RAM, making sharepoint really slow, and sometimes with sharepoint 2010 it crashes the web application.
