Hi I need to connect to a remote SQL Server database and I am not able to connect to it using Sequel pro, I have checked the connection using telnet and it is there. I also don't have windows OS so I cant install SQL Server.
Is there any work around for that? BTW I am using mac os
You can use SQiurreL SQL. It's a free, java-based GUI to many different databases. However, to use with SQL Server, it won't work out of the box. You need to get the JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server and add the path of the driver that you just downloaded to the definition of the driver in SQuirreL.
I use this to connect from my Mac to 2005 and 2008R2 SQL servers.

I'm trying to create a linked server in Sql Server 2014 to a vendors DB2 database which is on a remote system. I have found a lot of good instructions for doing this but have been not having luck getting that to work. The vendor doesn't know how to do this and has their people use Squirrel SQL with a JDBC connection. Since we need this setup pretty quick I install Squirrel and was able to get that connected and working. I would still prefer to use SSMS on our end for many reasons.
While I'm still trying to figure out the DB2 linked server, I was wondering if I can create a linked server using a JDBC connection since we have that working?
can create a linked server using a JDBC connection since we have that working?
No. Linked Server requires an OleDb driver. JDBC will not work. You'll need to download the OleDb provider from the SQL Server feature pack. The latest one should work. eg: Microsoft® SQL Server® 2017 Feature Pack
I have a legacy system at one of our locations in the US. We currently have a reporting system using SQL Server Report Builder on a central server running SQL Server 2014 using the native client SQL 11.0. I need to build a report using two different remote systems. I have setup linked servers before, but the current issue is that I am trying to setup a linked server to a 2000 server. When I try to make the connection to it it returns an error that native client 11 cannot communicate with SQL Server 2000. I have not found any reliable work around for this, and am trying to see if there is a resolution or solution that can be used.
I was also wondering if maybe a possibility is to create a ODBC connection the SQL server. Then create a linked server to the ODBC, in return that is older version.
ODBC to SQL Server 2000
SQL client 11 to ODBC
Is this possible, or a very poor way to handle this? Thanks in advance!
I am trying to connect from Sql Develper 4.0.3.16 to Sql Server 2012, with jTDS connector jtds-1.3.1.jar.
OS: Ubuntu 14.04
Java:
~$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_72"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_72-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.72-b04, mixed mode)
In the create connection window, when I test the connection it is successful.
When I open the connection I can see all the databases. When I try to open a database that I am supposed to have a permission to open, I am getting the following error window:
Any ideas?
P.S. if Microsoft has a JDBC driver sqljdbc4-4.0.jar (which works for me when I connect from Java code to Sql Server 2012), then why do I have to use jTDS in order to connect Sql developer to Sql Server? It seems like the Microsoft jdbc driver is not accepted by Sql Developer when I try to used it as a connector.

As it's explained here, so far sql developer supports only up to sql server 2012. In my case I'm using 2014 version, which isn't supported.
UPDATE
There've been several updates, which provide support to newer databases. Check them out, now I'm able to connect to my servers using SQL Developer.
Download latest version of Oracle SQL developer which works flawlessly to connect SQL server. Make sure you export all your connections before being downloaded the newer version which is 19.2, etc.
I tried enough searching for a tool in Ubuntu to connect to my remote SQL Server but in vain. Can someone please suggest me a tool (cross-platform) which helps me manage DB in remote SQL Server?
Any Java/JDBC based tool should work. Those that come to my mind are:
Squirrel
SQL Developer (from Oracle, not OpenSource but free)
SQL Developer (not from Oracle)
Execute Query
SQL Workbench/J
You can either use the free jTDS JDBC driver, or the one supplied by Microsoft.
In case you are using NetBeans as your IDE, you can use the database explorer there. All you need to do is to add the MS SQL driver that you can download from MS download center.
i m using sql server 2005 with service pack-2.
When I connect sql server with by registering the remote server with IP, username and password. I have done all the neccessary setting for connecting remotely "SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration".
i got following error while connection:
This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 servers. (ConnectionDlg)
Can you please provide me possible reasons for the above mentioned error.
Thanks,
Saurabh
I would also add that this can also happen if you are trying to connect to a lower version too!
I would also suggest checking which version of SQL 2005 you are attempting to connect to and make sure it is a RTM or higher, and not an older CTP release.
The other possibility is that there is another SQL Server instance (not 2000, or 2005) running on the IP that you are connecting to. Try connecting via server or instance name if possible.

Only reason for this can be if you are trying to connect to higher version of SQL Server. Please check again if it is SQL Server 2005 or 2008 you are trying to connect.
Here is similar problem and solution for it at sql-server-performance site
edit:- also if you have installed some version of SQL Server 2008 it may also break Management Studio.
Right - to get to the bottom of this I would check the version from the command prompt, from the machine experiencing the problem:
sqlcmd -Q "SELECT ##VERSION" -S myserver\myInstance -U myUserName -P myPassword
This will give you the version of SQL Server you are connecting to. 'sqlcmd' will run against old and new versions of SQL Server.
You can use the same technique, with different SQL to identify which server you are really connecting to, etc.
