Hola a todos. Saludos cordiales.
Tengo instalado Microsoft Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition en un servidor IBM xSeries 220, estoy tratando de instalar IBM Director 5.10 y no ha sido posible hacer que se conecte con la base de datos.
Esto ocurre cuando intento configurar el Servidor SQL en la fase final de la instalación de IBM Director.
Gracias por su ayuda, ¿puede alguien darme alguna sugerencia?

Hi, will there be a Windows Mobile edition of this driver, so that is possible to connect to SQL Everywhere on a Pocket PC from Java ME apps?
Best regards.

I'm getting the following exception when attempting to connect to SQL Server 2005 using Microsoft's new JDBC driver:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The TCP/IP connection to the host has failed. java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
The help docs suggest checking connectivity using telnet. So attempting to connect via telnet to 127.0.0.1:1433 generates:
Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed.
So I try to start telnet:
net start telnet
I get the following error message:
The service cannot be started either because it is disabled or because it has no enables devices associated with it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Hi, We are looking for a way to create the jdbc connection with Microsoft jdbc driver on a TomCat server ? Meaning the exact information to enter within the server.xml file or within the Tomcat web server administration tool - data source GUI.
thanks
I have some code that should execute multiple statements and then commit. I am using the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.1.
The statements only commit ifI close the connection to the SQL Server 2005 instance. I've looked at the example given at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378931.aspx and it doesn't require closing the connection in order to commit.
Example:
public void doCall(Connection con) {
try {
/*Turn off AutoCommit.*/
con.setAutoCommit(false);
/**Call Two Stored Procedures.*/
Statement stmt = con.preapareCall(/*Java Code*/);
stmt.setObject(/*Java Code*/);
stmt.execute();
Statement stmts = con.preapareCall(/*Java Code*/);
stmt2.setObject(/*Java Code*/);
stmt2.execute();
/**Commit the transaction.*/
con.commit();
}
catch (SQLException ex) { //If some error occurs handle it.
ex.printStackTrace();
try {
con.rollback();
}
catch (SQLException se) {
se.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
My transaction never commits, and when I try to query the associated database tables in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2005 my query hangs.
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver to connect to SQL Server 2000 database, I am using the following connection URL
boolean iSecurity = true;
String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://machine_name:1433;" + "databaseName=dbname;integratedSecurity=" + iSecurity;
I am getting the following error.
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: This driver is not configured for integrated authentication.
How do I resolve it? I have the following set
VMOPTIONS = -Xrs -Djava.compiler=NONE -Djava.library.path=C:Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driversqljdbc_1.1enuauthx86sqljdbc_auth.dll
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
I have a J2EE based web application. There is a requirement where user triggers a process to query a database, and the application needs to save the results to an SDF file (Microsoft SQL Server CE 2.0 / Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition) database. I need JDBC driver for it, but could not find it anywhere. Please help. Also, if there is any alternate way to do this, please let me know.
Thanks,

The microsoft JDBC driver doesn't accept CLOB & BLOB field.
Does anyone know about this problem ?
Is it possible to found another driver that works correctly and that is free ?
Thank's
Hi,
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? My JDBC is erroring. I'm using the Microsoft 1.2 driver, I have a SQL Server 2005 back end with the following clients connecting to it:
ASP.NET 2.0 web application
Visual Studio C# console applications (*2)
Java command line client.
Everything runs hunky-dory on my dev. environment (laptop, local, launched via Visual Studio) but now it's on the server, the Java client is erroring.
When I use the 1.2 sqljdbc.jar file, I get:
25-Jan-2008 12:20:29 com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection Prelogin
WARNING: ConnectionID:1 TransactionID:0x0000000000000000 Prelogin response packet not marked as a REPLY
My Error Trap:
--------------
SQL STATE : 08S01
ERROR CODE: 0
MESSAGE : The TDS protocol stream is not valid.
When I use the 1.1 file I get:
My Error Trap:
--------------
SQL STATE : 08S01
ERROR CODE: 0
MESSAGE : The TDS prelogin response is incomplete. The target server must be SQL Server 2000 or later.
I don't know what these errors mean. I've tried compiling as java 1.5 and 1.6 with the same results. It works fine on my laptop (Vista Home Premium) but won't when I try and connect to the server. I've searched the web on the error messages and can't find an answer yet.
Any help appreciated.
My drivers are the Windows versions. Also, everything else is working okay on the server: The consoles are up and running and the web browser connects and SELECTs, UPDATEs & INSERTs okay.
I ought to mention: My laptop is running SQL Server Development edition and the Server is running obviously something else.
My SQL Server version is 9.0.1399 and the OS is Windows Server 2003. SQL Authentication is mixed mode.
I am unable to send null values through the Microsoft JDBC 1.1 driver to a stored procedure. Please look at the thread already started on the SQL Server Transact SQL Forum at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1772215&SiteID=1
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi folks,
I'm trying to figure out if the SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver supports SSL at all. I've downloaded the driver documentation, looked at more web pages than I care to count, and even went as far as to take a stab at guessing at different driver property names in the hopes I might discover some undocumented feature. Each time I try, I come up dry.
The following exception shows up in my JBoss log:
2007-01-03 12:13:36,812 WARN [org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.JBossManagedConnectionPool] Throwable while attempting to get a new connection: null org.jboss.resource.JBossResourceException: Could not create connection; - nested throwable: (com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The SQL Server login requires an SSL connection.)
I know I have things working properly on the SQL Server side, as both osql and Query Analyzer work fine, and packet sniffing yields no plain text information. I've also tried swapping in the open source JTDS driver, and once again, sniffing shows that the data between the two machines in encrypted.
Does anyone know if I'm just missing something completely obvious, or can someone state with absolute certainty that the driver does not support SSL? Any ideas on how to find out if there are plans to support this feature and what the timeline might be?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Do we have to use SQL server 2005 JDBC driver to connect the sql server 2005? I got sql server 2000 driver for JDBC, it works fine to connect the database. But when I use sql server migration assistant for oracle, i got an error saying: [sql server 2000 driver for JDBC] Error establishing socket. Do I have to download SQL server 2005 driver for JDBC or I miss something else?
Thanks

Can any version of the SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver connect to SQL Server 2005 or do I have to install the new JDBC version 1.1 to connect to my 2005 instance?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have one query which executes properly with mssql 2000 jdbc driver but fails with the 2005 driver.
The query creates a table, using insert exec method tries to get the data in the created table. But, executing this statement fails producing exception com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The statement did no
t return a result set.
the command is as:
insert into #temp exec ('dbcc inputbuffer (' + @spid + ')')
I tried executing only the dbcc command on the db with query analyzer, it returns the results correctly, even with the same driver if I execute the dbcc query it runs fine and returns the resultset. But, only when I use it with insert exec it fails.
Does anyone know why this error occurs and what can be work-around.
Thanks in advance.
We have a problem with SQL Server 2005 v1.2 JDBC driver, where the application is failing with java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. We have a database of around 50 milion rows and our application has to query that database and operate on the large dataset. However, we are not facing this problem with databases having 1 million rows.
Database is running fine even after the java.lang.OutOfMemoryError in the application side. However, the application is not responding after this error.
We are facing this problem with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition as well as Enterprise Edition.
Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Is there a JDBC driver specific for 2005 Express ? Or should I be using the SQLServer 2005 JDBC driver -
If specific, please provide link!

Hi Friends ,
Recently I downloaded version 1.2 release of the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver. Thanks a ton to Microsoft
for providing many new features such as Adaptive Buffering , SSL Encryption , Tightly Coupled XA Transactions etc.
I am mainly concerned about SSL part of it and would be grateful if you can solve my queries or forward it to app-
ropriate forum.
1 ) I tried connecting to SSL enabled SQL Server 2005 through a sample program provided by Microsoft along with this
package ( Version 1.2 ) and I succeeded whereas in previous versions I use to get an exception as "The SQL Server
login requires an SSL connection." My connection string is as follows "jdbcqlserver://Ip adress of dataserver
machine:1433;databaseName=master;user=sa;password=sapassword" .
Ideally we should only get an SSL connection when we request it else an error message should be thrown informing
the user that dataserver requires an SSL connection. This would help in choosing between type of communication
a user needs with dataserver.
The scenario now is like forcing a user to have SSL communication if dataserver forces it. A flag may be added
as ssl should be mandatory or auto .
2 ) Current driver 1.2 is not capable of communicating with MS SQL Server 2000 both in case of SSL and Non - SSL
cases , The error which we receive in both cases is :
Oct 18, 2007 4:57:17 PM com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection Prelogin
WARNING: ConnectionID:1 TransactionID:0x0000000000000000 Prelogin response packet not marked as EOM
The TDS protocol stream is not valid.
To communicate with both MS SQL Server 2000 and 2005 a user will have to maintain both the drivers which may
increase complexity of the application , like loading both driver in a single process , etc etc . . .
If version 1.2 id built on top of Sql server 2000 JDBC drive then it should be able to handle following 4 cases :
i ) SQL Server 2005 - SSL ,
ii ) SQL Server 2005 - Non - SSL ,
iii ) SQL Server 2000 - SSL ,
iv ) SQL Server 2000 - Non - SSL .
If this single driver handles all above 4 cases , life of a developer and application developed by him/her would
become less complex.
3 ) Last but not the least , the SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver connects with both kind of SQL Server 2000 instances i.e.
SSL and Non - SSL without any certificate of flags specified. I was able to establish non - SSL connection with SQL
Server 2000 using two third party JDBC drivers which I think is not appropriate behaviour.
4 ) I have also noticed that when SQL Server 2005 is running in Non - SSL mode i.e. "ForecEncryption=No" and our Client
application requests SSL communication , we are not warned about server is not runnning in SSL mode , could you please
explain this ?
Kindly correct me I am wrong anywhere as I am just a beginner and don't have much knowledge on this subject .
Thanks a lot.
Sincerly ,
Sudhansu Tiwari
Hi All,
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm encountering a problem that seems to be due to the StreamError class not being serializable. This was raised on the JDBC Driver Team blog by Jonas on 10/24/2007. Jimmy Wu notes on 10/29/2007 that it is under investigation. Any progress?

We are in the process of configuring a j2ee application with SQL Server 2005. We have downloaded the new version of SQL Server 2005 Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) Driver 1.0.
We are having some issues in getting it to work using the XA datasource. Description of the error is as follows:
javax.transaction.xa.XAException: java.sql.SQLException: Failed to create the XA control connection. Error: Could not find stored procedure 'master..xp_sqljdbc_xa_init'..

Hi All,
My java application executes one stored procedure that returns two resultsets and then deal with data. The code actually is very simple
Statement stmt = con.createStatement(); con is database connection
ResultSet rs = stmt.getResultSet();
//Do something
rs.close();
rs = stmt.getResultSet();
//Do something
Then I got the error: The result set is closed.
The code worked well with jdbc sql server 2000 driver.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I'm using JDBC driver for Server 2005 (version 1.1.1501) to access Server 2000. I have no problems reading my data, but every update returns "Cursor is READ ONLY".
If I use driver for Server 2000 I have no problems. And I have no problems running the same program with 2005 driver against SQL Server Express.
Where should I start debugging?
Thank you,

Hi,
I am using SQL server 2005 stored procedures being called from my java application using the CallableStatement. As long as my stored procedure is a simple and direct Select statement things are moving nicely.
But my stored procedures are a little bit more complicated and this causes problems for me to parse the data in a ResultSet.
a sample stored procedure:
Create procedure sp_Get
@cat int,
@itemId bigint
as
declare @results table (tableId bigint, label varchar(200), typeId int)
if @cat = 1
begin
insert @results (tableId, label, typeId)
select
tableId = personId,
label = fname + lname,
typeId = 1
from Person where catId = @itemId
insert @results (tableId, label, typeId)
select
tableId = prospectId,
label = prospect,
typeId = 2
from Prospects where catId = @itemId
end
else if @cat = 2
begin
insert @results (tableId, label, typeId)
select
tableId = companyId,
label = Company,
typeId = 1
from Company where regionId = @itemId
end
/* result set*/
select
tableId,
label,
typeId
from @results
GO
my java code:
Connection conn = this.getConnection() //opens connection to db
CallableStatement cmd = conn.prepareCall(" { call sp_Get (?,?) }");
cmd.setInteger("cat", 1);
cmd.setLong("itemId", 2);
//this returns false?
boolean hasResults = cmd.execute();
//this also returns false?
boolean moreResults = cmd.getMoreResults();
The strange part of this is that when you execute this query in the SQL Server Managent Studio it returns 1 result set.
Why is my java code not able to see this result?
Thanks for any help,

I use the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver (1.0.809.102 and 1.1.1320.0) to connect to a SQL Server 2005 database. I'm currently implementing a generic data access layer that executes an arbitrary SQL statement:
public void prepareQuery(String sql) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException {
PreparedStatement stm = getConnection().prepareStatement(sql);
ParameterMetaData pmd = stm.getParameterMetaData();
int numPar = pmd.getParameterCount();
System.out.println("Number of parameters: " + numPar);
// ... acquire and process 'numPar' parameters ...
}
Exemplarily, I created a table named 'TEST_TABLE' with three Integer columns ('C1', 'C2' and 'C3') and a Varchar column ('C4'). Calling
prepareQuery("INSERT INTO [TEST_TABLE] ( [C1], [C2], [C3], [C4] ) VALUES ( 1, 2, ?, ? )")
gives the following result:
Number of parameters: 4
This is definitely wrong because that statement has only two parameters, one of type Integer and one of type Varchar. How can I get the correct number and types of the parameters?
I'm having an issue with the JDBC driver when I execute a stored procedure that both has a return value and also returns a result set. If I attempt to retrieve the return value (registered as an output parameter) after I execute the stored procedure, then any subsequent attempts to retrieve the result set always return null. Is this by design? If I use the result set first and then later get the return value that works; however, in my situation I need to first check the return value before I work on the result set. Am I'm I doing something wrong?
Code:
CallableStatement cs = connection.prepareCall("{? = call spGetCustomer(?, ?) }");
cs.registerOutputParameter(1, Types.INTEGER);
cs.setString(2,"blahblahblah");
cs.setBoolean(3,false);
cs.execute();
int retVal = cs.getInt(1);
ResultSet rs = cs.getResultSet(); // Always returns null, even though the SP actually returns a result set.

Hi,
I am unable to get PHP to load the drivers from the package.
I have tried adding the followings in c:windowsphp.ini (as indicated by phpinfo):
[PHP_MSSQL]
extension=php_sqlsrv.dll
and
[PHP_MSSQL]
extension=php_sqlsrv_ts.dll
I have tried restarting IIS & rebooting my PC without any effect.
phpinfo just does show any traces of MSSQL.
The SQL Native Client have also been installed.
I can connect & execute query using the SQL Server Management Studio.
I can telnet to port 1433.
What have I missed?
Thanks,
I have a procedure that uses varchar(max) as output parameter, when I tried to retrieve
the result of calling the procedure, the result is truncated to 4000 character. Is this a driver bug?
Any workaround?
Here is the pseudo code:
create Procedure foo(@output varchar(max))
{
set @foo = 'string that has more than 4000 characters...';
return;
}
Java code:
CallableStatement cs = connection.prepareCall("{call foo ?}");
cs.registerOutputParameter(1, Types.longvarchar); // also tried Types.CLOB.
cs.execute();
String result = cs.getString(1); // The result is truncated to 4000 char.
-- Also tried
CLOB clob = cs.getClob(1);
long len = clob.length(); // The result is 4000.

Hi,
I'm working on a database conversion from Sybase to SQL Server 2005 and have hit a wall with a character conversion problem when reading non-ASCII characters (encrypted password) via JDBC.
My application runs on Solaris and accesses a SQL Server 2005 database via the Microsoft JDBC driver. The server was unfortunately specified as having a SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation at installation time, and the database being accessed has taken this default. After creation the data was migrated across via DTS.
The invalid character is a dagger '€ '. When read over JDBC it is converted to a question mark '?'.
In my original environment a Sybase database was accessed via JDBC driver from Solaris and the correct value was returned. The Sybase database used Latin1_General_BIN as it's collation. By way of experimentation I have modified the default collation sequence within the SQL Server 2005 database, and created a new table to hold the password. I am then able to correctly return strings containing this character from within SQL Server Management Studio, but the same problem still exists when accessing it via JDBC.
I am not sure where to focus my investigation and would be grateful for any useful pointers/advice. To me it looks like it's a JDBC driver issue as with the change in collation it works from a non-JDBC client.
Many thanks
Alistair
