I currently have a database set up at Digital Ocean Databases, and I'm trying to connect with Microsoft SQL Studio Management 19.
At Digital Ocean, the platform provides me with some access data, such as:
username = XXXX
password = XXXXX
host = XXXX.db.ondigitalocean.com
port = XXXXX
database = XXXX
sssmode = REQUIRED
In SSMS when I insert host, username and password, It is unable to communicate with the database.
I already tried to add my IP in the trusted sources but it didn't work. What I'm doing wrong?

I am testing a SQL Server for my company as an on-site database for manufacturing data and records. I have the SQL Server on my laptop and have set up permissions and downloaded SQL Server Management Studio on other computers in the company and managed to connect via SQL Server authentication.
However, I can't get Windows Authentication to work. I also have a Visual Basic program that I can run on my laptop that will communicate with the SQL Server that is locally on my machine but that program will not work on other computers in the company because they can not connect to the SQL Server.
How do I set up SQL Server to allow for Windows authentication on any company computers running that program? I opened a port on my Windows firewall on the computer that has SQL Server installed, and it seems to work with SQL Server authentication.
The connection string I am using in my Visual Basic program is as follows:
Dim connstring As String = "Data Source = Server; integrated security = true"
I assume I need to change something in my logins folder in my SQL Server?
My desired result would be for any computer running this application to be allowed to communicate with SQL Server and be able to read and write data.
any computer running this application to be allowed to communicate with SQL Server
The normal configuration to enable this is:
1) The SQL Server must be running on a server joined to the domain.
2) The SQL Server is configured to use TCP/IP and listen on port 1433.
3) The other computers are also joined to the domain.
4) The users logged in on the other computers are added as Windows logins. in SQL Server, and mapped to users in the desired databases (can use groups instead of individual users).

I would like to connect SQl server DB in VM using my local sql server management studio.
What should I need for server name ?
Can I use my server Windows authentication for VM in my local ?
Create an empty text file on your VM and give it extension .udl
Doubleclick on it now you can set the properties easy from combobox
Adjust the properties and click on "test connection" until it works
Now open the file in notepad and there you see a complete connection string.
Note that for SQL Server authentication you need to configure the protocol in SQL Server Configuration Manager
When you are in Management studio on your local machine, you will need the hostname or IP address of the VM.
For Windows Authentication, you will need an account on the local domain that both your workstation and the database VM are connected to.
For SQL server authentication, you will need an account in the SQL Server instance.
In both cases, security will need to be configured and associated with your account.
Are you on a domain, or is this just a private server?
Use name of the VM where SQL server is running.
And yes, you can use Windows authentication. Depending on your domain settings.
This will help you How to: Create a SQL Server Login It is not much difference from SQL login.
And if you are in Administrators group on machine running SQL Server, then your login already should be included.
And if your machine with Management Studio and server with SQL Server are in different domains, then you will need to run Management Studio under different account
runas /netonly /user:domain\username "c:\path\ssms.exe"

I want to connect my db on SQL Server 2008 over local area network I want to put it on one computer on the LAN so any computer on the network can access it what should I do please give me correct steps
In a Client-Server scenario, you will have the SQL Server installed on your server machine.
Clients will be the computers accessing that SQL Server using a client software (can be SQL Server Management Studio, web/forms application, Excel worksheet, etc).
Each of the client will provide you a way of making a connection to the SQL Server Instance running on the server. From server you will need IP Address or Servername along with SQL Server Instance name. They both combined form host name.
Data Source = ServerName\InstanceName
Note: Instance name not required for default instance.
User name: You need to add user from domain or a sql server authenticated user under security tab (SSMS) on the SQL Server.
Password: Corresponding password.
Note: Once you add a user to SQL Server Instance, do not forget to attach the user to databases you want the user to access and provide appropriate role(s).
Install SQL Server 2008 on one machine on your LAN (let's call it SQLServer)
Connect that machine to the LAN (network cable)
You're done.
Now, all other computers can connect to that SQL Server machine by its name in the connection string - in .NET, that would look like:
server=SQLServer;database=YourDatabase;User ID=YourUser;Pwd=top$Secret
Management Studio of Sql Server Dev Edition 2005 installed on Win 7 is not able to connect on Windows 2003 Server where standard edition of sql server 2005 is installed.
The connection is working when I use the Sa password but when I use windows authentication then it is showing err msg that "user is not associated with a trusted sql server connection"..
I'm using a local admin password on win 7 and in passwords server password is saved (i.e. the domain password), I'm even able to get exchange mails so domain pass is working fine from other places but sql server is not able to connect..
Pls help
Passwords are not used while using windows authentication :) Your client computer credentials need to be trusted by SQL server - this is easiest to achieve for domain (Active Directory) accounts.
You need 1) login into your dev computer as domain user 2) add same domain user (or containig group) to sql server permitted logins for your database.
Thanks for reply on this..
I got the final answer and below is the link for the same..

I have a remote server that has win2003 installed
I can connect to the machine using remote desktop and am succesfully hosting a web app on the server
I need to connect to the SQL server on that machine using a sql compare tool that I have.
What are the steps that I need to take to be able to connect to the SQL server given that all I have is the IP address to the machine and admin login credentials
if you are trying to remotely connect to sql server using ssms or another client on a different machine, you need to do the following:
open up sqlservr on server firewall
open up sqlbrowsr on server firewall
be concerned about security - if you can rdp/connect to sql w/o vpn, then so can other people - so you better make sure you have hardened environment and very strong passwords.
Depending on the specific access technology, different syntaxes for connection strings are needed. For the .NET provider, the syntax allows for passing server addresses.
Here's a sample connection ADO.net connection.
imports System.Data.SqlConnection
...
dim cn as new SqlConnection()
cn.connectionString = "Server=192.168.1.200;Database=mydbName;user id=notSA;password=C0mp!3xPVVD"
cn.open()
...
'Do cool stuff
...
cn.close()
Open up port TCP 1433 (Sql Server) on the remote server
And for your connection string jus use the IP Address for the Server, instead of using the computer name
You should be able to interchange between computer name and IP address without any problems, because the Computer Name gets turned into an IP Address anyway.
