Accessing The Database Remotely From Non-microsoft Platform
Jul 23, 2005
I have a query of the kind brains of this group.
Is it possible to access a microsoft sqlserver database (for select, insert,
update, delete, and for miscellaneous administrative actions such as table
and index creation and deletion) remotely from a compiled C program (and/or,
from Perl) running on a NON microsoft platform, such as Sun's Solaris and/or
Linux?
What toolset(s) could be used (on the UNIX/Linux end) for such a purpose?
Would it require a corresponding special toolset to be installed on the
Windows server end as well? (I'd prefer not to have to do that if
possible.)
If you are not now rolling on the floor laughing at the "heresy" of such a
notion, thanks in advance.
I'm developing a VB app to manipulate data in a table. I've created an SQL server (local) and have successfully connected to and manipulated data in a database that I created. I would like to be able to run the app on another machine and connect to the same server. I'm having trouble determining what the server name is. Tried a few things but get the "server does not exist" message. Server is set to authenticate SQL server and windows.
Is this happening because my server is (local)? If so how do I change it to permit remote access?
I'm writing an web app in VS2005. I've created a product.mdf database through VS2005's Server Explorer (to my knowledge, I'm not using Sql Express). (Side question. The .mdf files are a stand alone xml structure used as a database, correct?). When I execute locally, everything works great. But when I moved my code to where it is being hosted (remote computer). It's throwing the following error: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) This is my connection string:<add name="MyConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Product.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
Hi there guys, I am currently trying to achieve a seemingly simple task in VC++ 2005. I have made a very simple form in Microsoft Access which I wish to serve as the beginnings of something greater. I created a db in MS Access named links.mdb containing on table-> Table1. Table1 contains 1 column, "Links", and i wish to read these strings into variables in my Visual C++ Windows Forms Application.
What I have done so far...
In Visual C++, I clicked on Data->Add new data source, and followed the wizard to add the microsoft access database to my application by the name, "linksDataSet". I can see the table in my left hand "Data Sources" pane in VC++. All I need to know is how to access my database from here so that I can read these strings stored in my table. Also, would be possible to schedule my application to log on to a http server and retrieve these links every time the application is executed? How would I go about doing this?
Hi all,We're looking at a vendor who uses the InterSystems Cache DatabasePlatform, but our IT department has zero experience with this system.This software package will have a pivotal and mission critical roll inour organization, so I'd like some comments on what others think ofthis database platform.Mainly I'm curious how easy/difficult it is to query a Cache Database,and does it use standard SQL calls like Oracle and MS SQL? What aboutODBC connections into the database from Crystal, MS Access, and OLAPtools? Any other caviets (backup, maintenance, etc)?Thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments Cache.Sam
Is this possible to connect do the Database Engine (on sql server 2005 on XP platorm - file *.mdf (not mobile *.sdf)) from win CE 5.0?
I tried to do this : ConnectionStringSQLServerCE = "Data Source=WORK_STATION\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=dbMachines;Integrated Security=False;Password=Panel;User ID=Panel";
SqlCeConnectionCE = new SqlConnection(ConnectionStringSQLServerCE);
SqlCeConnectionCE.Open();
but I catch error: catch (PlatformNotSupportedException ex) €žPlatformNotSupportedException€? I noticed that I see server because when I use: ConnectionStringSQLServerCE = "Data Source=WORK_STATION\SQLEXPRESS";

Can anyone please tell me how to access a SQL server database remotely. I have the IP address and login info. of the NT machine that is running SQL server database, and I want to access the data remotely.
Hi Folks,I should begin by saying I'm fairly new to SQL Server. I'm an applicationdeveloper who has built front ends atop Server, but have never done much inthe way of design / development.My question is in two parts;1). What is the best way to remotely "create" an SQL Server database? I'vebeen told that this can be done with SQL Statements, but thought that theremay be a way using XML.2). Can I use this same method to propogate updates to the remote databasewithout affecting the data?To give you a better idea of what I'm trying to do, I have a client thatlives quite a ways up north. I'm building an application that will beinstalled up there. I'd like a method to be able to make changes to thisdatabase on my end (the development copy), create an XML file of the"database structure" and have the other database or application import thisXML file, and add tables, fields and relationships if they don't alreadyexist.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks!Rick
I'm working on a website remotely through a VPN and my client uses SQLServer. There's a requirement for a database and my client uses SQLServer 2000.Is it possible to administer this database remotely, just like I dowith MySQL/PHP MyAdmin?Please elaborate.Thanks,Marjorie
I have a problem when trying to save a transaction remotely. I'm using my pc as the server and I can save without any problem from local (the same project). But when I try accessing the project from other pc, the transaction doesn't get saved into the db. No error displayed. It's just doesn't get saved. What is the problem? Is there any IIS setting that I should put in?
Hi everybody, Currently we have a MIS application, developed in VB 6.0 - SQL Server 2000 platform, which is used by around 60 users in our office. We are planning to host a website remotely, which would allow clients to place orders, track order status etc. on it. Would it be possible to access our local SQL database from the remote website?
One of my tables in the db contains the websites and the location of their link directory. i.e. domain.com/linkdirectory I want to run a check against every website's robots.txt file to ensure that it doesn't look like this: user-agent: * Disallow: /linkdirectory/ so I need a program that does the following: For each website in database (start of loop) Does robots.txt exist on their site ?(run a remote check) if it does is their link directory blocked in robots.txt? if so, then log their user id and website name into an array for later use end if endif end loop How would I do this in ASP.net 2.0?
Morning Guys, I have a database where I need to kill a remote connection. If I was manually logged into the box i would you a netstat command to stop the service. I would like to end a process from another machine before starting a restore process
WSUS is installed on my windows 2003 server. During the install, parameter DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS was not specified, and so no remote connection was possible.
I used SVRNETCN.exe to enable TCP/IP remote connection on port 1433. However it seems not to work.
FROM THE SERVER :
osql -E -S MYSERVERWSUS works fine but
osql -E -S 127.0.0.1WSUS doesn't work, i get the famous error
I am experiencing a Named Pipes Provider error 40 message as detailed below. I get this when I'm running the dta utility on a production server which is trying to remote onto a test server to use the metadata and optimizer there.
The error reported is...
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
(note: there is no (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: xxx) reported at the end of the error string)
The error results from the following cmdline syntax run from the production server.
dta -A 0 -E -e C:TuningLog.xml -F -ix C:DTA.xml -N OFF -of C:outputdta.sql -rl ALL -s DTA_20071205
Prod box: 64bit SQL2005 SP2 Std Ed Named instance, TCPIP and Named Pipes enabled, SQL Browser service running. Test box: 32bit SQL2005 SP2 Std Ed Default instance, Listening for local and remote connections on TCPIP and Named Pipes (configured through the SAC), SQL Browser service running. From the SQL Log on the test box I can see TCPIP is listening & Named pipes is listening on \.pipesqlquery
There is no firewall configured on either box.
I can connect to the test server from the prod box using sqlcmd -E -S<servername> I can ping the test server from the prod box
Would you have any idea what I'm doing incorrectly? The genericity of the error message doesn't give me much of a clue and the resolutions I've read all revolve around SQLBrowser, surface area config, and SQL Express which I've covered off.
i have a stored procedure that backups database on server A which i execute this SP from server B in a scheduled job. when i run this job it gives me an error: Executed as user: domainuser_name. Could not relay results of procedure 'usp_BackupDBOnServerA' from remote server 'ServerB'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7221) [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7312). The step failed. i searched MS KB, everywhere but could not find the solution or even explanation why this happenning. both sql servers are 2000 and they are linked.
I am running dts in Sql Server 2005 management studio from Management, Legacy and data Transformation Services.
Once the dts has run, I get this error message "Error Source : Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package Error Description : Error accessing Windows Event Log."
Hi, I hope you can help.I have configured a Windows 2003 web server and SQL 2005 Server (on same box) to successfully allow remote connections and to allow access via SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005.The problem I have is that I want to restrict access to the databases on the server via the Management Studio to specific databases e.g. 1 database user "sees" only 1 database.I can configure it so that the user's remote access permissions do not allow access to other databases but they can still "see" the database listed in the Management Studio explorer.I can also configure it so that the users cannot see all the databases (by disabling View All Databases on SQL Server), but this means that they cannot not see their own database which they have permissions for.Is it impossible to have the desired behaviour of only displaying the database which the remote user accessing has permissions for and hiding all other databases?I have MSN'd,Googled and Yahoo'd this one to no avail :(Many thanksFergus
In VS 2005, when we choose database connection, we can choose one of the above. My question is in what situations should we choose MS SQL Server Database File (SqlClient), and when should we choose Microsoft SQL Server?
I want to deploy a standalone desktop application with a backend database. Which backend database should I should and which of the above connection should I choose?
I just switched to a host that allows database connections so that I can now upload my database to their server.
When I test my site on my personal PC it works great. I upload everything to the server and nothing. I know that I need to load the database to the server. I have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express and can make the connection but how do i load my database from my personal PC to the host computer?
I would be greatful if someone was able to walk me thou the steps on how to transfer the database. I am really very new with the database thing and ASP.

hey!Im looking for a db tutoral which covers accessing a Microsoft SQL databaseon windows. I will be using VC++ if it matters. NO details just a basicintroduction!Oracle DB access using C++ is also of interest!Thanks!-- Majk
I have a MSSQL database from a pre-existing app. The data files do not have an MDF exension, they have a .dat extension. I can however use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express to run queries against the files, but I can not get VB 2005 to connect. When I attemp to add it as a project data source, I get the following error:
"An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file c:dataMSSQL$DATA_SQL....dat* failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
*Database names = company names are omitted to 'protect the innocent'.
Does anyone have any ideas? Since Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express worked so cleanly with the database I was expecting to easily get to the same data using VB.
I have an sql express server which contains a single database. Three users access this database using a C# application I have writen. I use Integrated Security for these three users.
The problem is that one of my users wishes to use my application from home.
What are my options in letting this user use my application from home?
I'm a hobby C# programmer, and when at university there are a few machines that have SQL Server 2005 installed on them (i think it's standard ed).
From looking around at sql 2005 free edition and DNN (dot net nuke) it's apparently possible to have the database file in the execution directory of your application.
My question is this, if i have a C# win app, is in possible for me to store the database files, in the executable directory of that app, and not in the default sql database store of C:prog filessql server90 data etc...?
Ie, what i want to do, is for the C# win application on start up to "mount" the database, use it normally like any other sql database, and then "unmount" it at the end.
The reason for "mounting" and "unmounting" is that i don't want the database to be accessible or even visible to sql server when the c# app isnt running.
I hope I've explained myself clearly, and thanks a lot in advance. pro-logic
