SQL Server ODBC

Standard Security:

"Driver={SQL Server};Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;Uid=sa;Pwd=asdasd;"

Trusted connection:

"Driver={SQL Server};Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;Trusted_Connection=yes;"

Prompt for username and password:

oConn.Properties("Prompt") = adPromptAlways

oConn.Open "Driver={SQL Server};Server=Aron1;DataBase=pubs;"

OLEDB, OleDbConnection (.NET)

Standard Security:

"Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=Aron1;Initial Catalog=pubs;User Id=sa;Password=asdasd;"

Trusted Connection:

"Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=Aron1;Initial Catalog=pubs;Integrated Security=SSPI;" (use serverName\instanceName as Data Source to use an specifik SQLServer instance, only SQLServer2000) Prompt for username and password:

oConn.Provider = "sqloledb"

oConn.Properties("Prompt") = adPromptAlways

oConn.Open "Data Source=Aron1;Initial Catalog=pubs;"

Connect via an IP address:

"Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=190.190.200.100,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=pubs;User ID=sa;Password=asdasd;" (DBMSSOCN=TCP/IP instead of Named Pipes, at the end of the Data Source is the port to use (1433 is the default)) SqlConnection (.NET)

Standard Security:

"Data Source=Aron1;Initial Catalog=pubs;User Id=sa;Password=asdasd;"

Trusted Connection:

"Data Source=Aron1;Initial Catalog=pubs;Integrated Security=SSPI;" (use serverName\instanceName as Data Source to use an specifik SQLServer instance, only SQLServer2000) Connect via an IP address:

"Data Source=190.190.200.100,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=pubs;User ID=sa;Password=asdasd;" (DBMSSOCN=TCP/IP instead of Named Pipes, at the end of the Data Source is the port to use (1433 is the default)) Declare the SqlConnection:

C#:

using System.Data.SqlClient;

SqlConnection oSQLConn = new SqlConnection();

oSQLConn.ConnectionString="my connectionstring";

oSQLConn.Open();

VB.NET:

Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Dim oSQLConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection()

oSQLConn.ConnectionString="my connectionstring"

oSQLConn.Open()
