How can I assign the ODBC Database(Progress) on UNIX as publisher and SQL Server as subscriber. When I use the Enterprise Manager, I cannot see the Unix Server. I just can see the server and database in DTS.
Anyone support a config where you have an unix/linux (AIX here) ODBC client connection to SQL Server database? I am looking for a simple, supportable configuration that does not require me to learn perl or instal a bunch of crap gnu shareware on enterprise class machines.

First, let me start by saying I know the answer to this, but due to politics any answer I give will be viewed with some disdain and disbelief.
A Unix/Network [rtdpmin one our sister agencies is trying to solve a problem that really does not need to be solved, but ....
The sister agency uses Information Builder's WebFocus on Unix. When they try to read my data warehouse in SQL Server 2000 it times out on them (on their end and they claim they cannot fix it) (This is using the supplied WebFocus ODBC/JDBC driver for SQL Server). This has lead to accusations of us not letting them read the data.
After much gnashing of teeth over "if you do data and data analysis for a living, why do I have to show you how to set-up an ODBC connection" we have shown them how to connect to the data, read it, and transfer it using MS-ACCESS, EXCEL, and more importantly SPSS. This is not good enough because they cannot figure out how to put it into WebFocus.
Their network person has come-up with the brilliant idea of reading the .mdf directly by installing Windows for Unix on the Unix side and then just pointing to the .mdf file and "reading it ".
Unless I have missed something somwhere (I will admit possible), I know you need a driver to read MS-SQL and that driver in every example I have seen could care less about the physical location of the .mdf file. It wants to know what database, what server (ip or name) and what security/login to use.
Could someone give me a more "technical answer" or even Microsoft's party line so I do not have this person mucking around with my production server trying to acomplish the impossible.
Hello, I am trying to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 from a SCO box (version 3.2v4.2)using sisql/bcp (sybase product). I can connect to a 6.5 database but when I try the same script to connect to 7.0 I get the following message: DB-LIBRARY error: Unable to connect: SQL Server is unavailable or does not exist. Is there anything I can do in order to fix this problem? Any ideas? Thanks
I am using SSIS 2014 with the below .net framework version and installed in Windows server 2012 R2 . I have installed my client's odbc drivers (both 32 bit and 64 bit) in my production server and created ODBC system DSNs for 32 bit and 64 bit.
When i open SSIS 2014 and tried to create the odbc connection but i can able to see only the 32 bit system DSN connection ,i can't able to see my 64 bit odbc system dsn connection.

How to create a text file in UNIX format using Flat File connection manager. By default when we create a connection manager for flat files it is taking "CRLF" as the delimeter.
I beleive the format of the file will be decided based on the control line feed character at the end of each row. There are different control line feeds for different operating systems.
CR - Mac OS (Carraige return) LF - UNIX (Line Feed) CRLF - Windows. (Carriage return Line Feed)
I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this posting. Looking at the descriptions, it appeared to be the best choice.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have installed the SQL Native Client for XP. However, when I try to add a new data source through ODBC Connection Manager, SQL Native Client is not listed as an option. I have followed this procedure on three other systems with no problems. What would be causing the SQL Native Client to not show up in the list of available ODBC data sources?
Has anyone had an issue with the ODBC data source that when you set it up for SQL, it does not retain the username and password you entered and keeps defaulting back to the NT windows verification instead of using the SQL verification that you choose?
I add a datasource, select validation based off of SQL profile/password assigned, enter the user and password I assigned on SQL, go through the setup and test successfully. Then I try to connect using that datasource with my VB application and it says connection failure. When I go back to the datasource, it has changed back to NT verification and removes the user/password I entered for SQL verification. Maybe there is an service pack from MS on this?
any help is appreciated. At the very least, I can just hard code into my VB app, but that is my last resort. Thanks!
I installed the MS SQL server 7.0 on a Windows NT 4.0 SP 4 server. The network runs with TCP/IP. I want to connect the SQL server by a ODBC-connection. Only a connection on the server (local) was successful.
The odbcping-utility reports following: COULD NOT CONNECT TO SQL SERVER
SQLState: 08001 Native Error: 6 Info. Message: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNMPNTW]Selected SQL server not found.
I am currently running a application and a database server they are connected via ethernet. Only the application is connected to our network. Is there a way to connect MS Access to the database server without connecting the database server to the network? I've tried several different approaches and it still dosent work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dale
Would someone provide a code snip example of a T-SQL script using an ODCB connection against a non-SQL2K database. I can hit the outside database using DTS (so I know it is possible) but I'm having trouble with the parameters using a script.
Hello - I'm trying to creat an ODBC connection and the db I created is not showing up in the dropdown for 'Change the default database to:' option. I'm logged into SQL using Windows Authentication, create the db, restored it w/ a backup and then added a user w/ no problems. Any ideas?
I am trying to connect to SQL Server using a 3rd party report generating software (dbextra). Everything is located on my local box. I am trying to establish connection through ODBC. Is this installed during setup or is this a function I have to manually set up and configure?
I have front-end visual basic program that use an ODBC connection to connect with SQL server, and my questions is there any automated procedure to configure this ODBC connection instead of configure it manually specially of the user profiles was changed I have to configure it again.
We have three users that access a particular sqlserver database via microsoft access, two of the users have no problem, the third user used to be able to use the access database but is now getting a sql server error 18452 followed by an error message 'login failed for user '(null)' reason: not associated with a trusted sql server connection. When reviewing the odbc setup that the user that is having problems has, we find two sqlserver entries when it asks 'which sqlserver do you want'. How do i go about finding out where that entry comes from so i can look into removing one of them. None of the other users have two sqlserver entries. The othere users have no problem accessing this sqlserver database via ms access, I'm trying to find out why all of a sudden this one user is having problems
First of all i apologise if this is in the wrong area. My problem is as follows. I had set up a couple of aspx pages on our webserver which accessed a sql database on another server. These pages were set up using frontpage 2003 and everything worked fine. A week ago the pages stopped working giving the error "Server Error in '/' Application". As far as I know nothing has been changed on the servers. On top of this frontpage has started having connection problems. Frontpage will connect to the database but is unable to access the fields giving the following error. Server error: Unable to retrieve schema information from the record source ' NAME' in a database using the connection string: 'DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=servername;DATABASE=live;UID=********;PWD=********'. The following error message comes from the database driver software; it may appear in a different language depending on how the driver is configured.-------------------------------------------------------[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'NAME'.

I have been trying for the past few days to solve this one, but am reasonable new to SQL, so this may be an easy one. Hope someone can help me
In my project, I have added a database called aspnetdb.mdf and I store all the required information here. Now I want to write a seperate Cryatl Report for my manager, that accesses this database and display required data. This report is not a part of the asp.net project. This is only for my manager. My database is not attached to any server. I just use the attachdb in the coonection string of my project to attach this database. no I want my crystal report to access this database. If I can create an ODBC connection to this database, it will solve my problem. Dows any body know how to access this database from Crystal with or without ODBC? Any help is greatly appreciated.
We have a helpdesk built with Sql7 and it has an frontend built with access. We had two machines that would connect to it. Now only one machine connects and is able to see all tables. The other machine cannot see the tables now. All permissions are the same, The other operator can log into the good one and it work and log into the bad one and it not work. All connections are the same. Any ideas on the problem(s)?
Has anyone had any problems connecting to SQL server 7.0 using ODBC connection? When I create a dsn within odbc to connect to my sql server the test connection is good. But when I go into access to link the table I get an odbc error message, reading something like, the stored procedure need to complete this task could not be found on this server.
I have a web site that provides sport news and I am using SQL Server 7.0 as my back end. The ASP page connect to SQL Server through ODBC(3.70) connection using DSN configured using TCP/IP protocol. This site has been running for 8 months with no problems.
Today, the website page was showing network errror when it was trying to get the infomation from the SQL Server. So, when tried to reconfigure the DSN using TCP/IP prtocol I got the following error.
Connection failed: SQLState: '08001' SQL Server Error: 11

Dear All, When trying to connect to the server outside the firewall through an ODBC connection string, we get the following error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open database requested in login '[database name]'. Login fails.
When trying to uncover some more information pertaining to this problem, we get the associated error number, 4060. When researching this number, we see that the number has an associated error severity code of 11. Thus Microsoft is saying that it is a problem that could be corrected at the user level. Ok, I am missing something. I give. Does anyone have a new idea or an approach on which I can begin to uncover new information? We have also checked the database login and the login for the MTSServices is in fact able to access the database through an integrated login with NT Security. Also the Domain Administrator for User Rights does not have the specific NT Group enabled to log onto the computer from the network but the 'Everyone' field is still on the server. If anyone has specific questions, email me directly. Thanks for your help in advance. Daimon
We recently install SQL Server 7 and we are testing things to get it up to speed so we can use it for our clients. We are having difficulty calling the database from a ASP page. Here is the error it gives in the browser:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user ''.
/asptest.asp, line 11
Now here is the ASP code:
<% set conntemp=server.createobject("adodb.connection") conntemp.open "DSN=Northwind;uid=dbuser;pwd=dbuser" set rstemp=conntemp.execute("select * from customers") howmanyfields=rstemp.fields.count -1 %>
I have created a System DSN name Northwind, and a user 'dbuser' on the PDC (running IIS as well). I have gone into SQL Server and added the user dbuser and specified to authenticate it from the PDC. What am I missing? What am I doing wrong? Could someone please point it out to me.
I am using MS Access to link to an SQL table via ODBC. The DSN was setup to "use SQL authentication" with login "username", password "pwd".
After I link to the table and try opening it, I am getting an error, after which a login screen comes up with "Use Trusted Connection" checkbox turned ON. There is the user's NT username in the login textbox. I have to check "Use Trusted Connection" OFF and enter SQL login/SQL password ("user"/"pwd")before I am able to view the table contents.
It just started happening recently. Earlier, I would get a login screen with "Use Trusted connection" OFF prompting me for my SQL username/password. And no errors, of course...
What is making the system use "Trusted connection" (and, I guess, NT authentication)???
I am explicitly asking for "SQL authentication" when creating the DSN...
One of my user is having trouble connecting to the database,i have already reset his pwd bt when she is trying to connect trhough application , he keeps getting this error

i am sure it is not psw issue because i have reset his psw Please help me out.
Hi, I'm new to SQL Server, but regularly connect to Oracle via ODBC. I'm trying to a) connect to our SQL Server over an ISP and b) Run Enterprise Manager over the ISP. Both actions work fine over our campus network but fail across an ISP.
The first returns the message: Connection failed:SQLState: '01000' SQL server Error: 1326 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]ConnectionOpen[CreateFile()]. Connection failed:SQLState:'08001' SQLServer Error 1326 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Client unable to establish connection
The second returns the message: Unable to connect to server [reason:[DB-Library]Unable to connect. SQL Server is unavailable or does not exist. Register anyway.
I had previously received a different error (in case 1) and, through the knowledge Base discovered I needed MDAC drivers for named pipes. I installed them but get a new error. I can find nothing in the KB or previous SWYNK messages.
I create a Test database in SQL server, also I add new user in security folder. Also I add this user in Test database, the permission are: Public, and db_owner. But when I let the user try to open the database, it is ODBC – Connection failed. I add another user a few months ago, she works fine. But the new user I added in didn’t work, did you know why. I am sure I add the same permission as the later user. Thanks.
