I have my websites database server named razatube.com, I don't have the server on my machine. How can I connect to this server from another machine to fetch database items? Any help would be highly appreciated.
PS: I don't usually use Microsoft products so pardon me if the answer stares directly on my face :(
All you need is the IP address or URL of the database server along with port number, login name and password of the SQL Server database. When you have all these, you can go to http://www.connectionstrings.com/ and get your desired connection string and use it into your web programs to connect your web server and your database server.

I have looked everywhere on Stack Overflow and I have not found an answer that closely compares to my scenario, so please bear with me.
The issue is I was recently given a development server at work and I have to migrate my current project (which I have on SQL Server Management Studio running on SQL Server Express) so that it is hosted on that server. I was just given the server name and authorized access to it. So I can connect to it through Remote Desktop Connection (RDC), but I am clueless as to where to go from here.
I have tried going in through RDC and opening Management Studio from there but when plugging in my server name and using Windows Authentication it doesn't let me in. And I can't use SQL Server Authentication because I'd have to be actually in to be able to create an SQL login.
How can I connect to this server through Management Studio?
The server is in the same network? In the management studio, in server name, you can put a IP address or computer name.
Do you know if SQL is even installed on the server you are tasked to deploy to? You are able to "connect" to SQL Express locally because the instance is installed on your local machine. You will need an instance of SQL installed on the remote machine to be able to use SSMS to connect to the remote instance.
If you are attempting to connect to an already created DB that you have been using the credentials are the same, if you know the address and you have the ports opened on your computer to allow the connection. If you are going to start a new DB on the server, then you will have to connect via AD credentials IF your admin has given you the proper access. I personally suggest using AD credentials to create connections, it's just a lot more secure.
If you are trying to connect to the local db, then it should be on the drop down list on the log in screen.
You are going to have to talk with your admin who set it up if you are still having problems.
You might have to Enter your Server Details in the Hosts File on the Current Application Server
For Accessing Hosts File,
Go to Run and type drivers and Hit Enter. Go to the etc Folder and you will see hosts file in the Folder.
At the End of the File Enter the Server IP And Server Name
Save the file and try Logging into the Server Management Studio again
Hopefull, this would help

You can use a vpn connection and then use your PC local IP inside the company
I have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine, and now when I want to open that database using SQL Server Management Studio on the client machine it fails to open.
But the database opens normally on the server.
The owner of the database is sa and on client I am logged in with windows authentication.
How to resolve this error??
the server priciple smtech/prabhu is not able to access the database
the user is of client under the server domain
I suggest making sure that the account you are trying to connect with actually has access.
Log onto the server, open up management studio, look in object explorer. There should be a Security folder icon in the treeview, Expand that and the Logins folder.
If the user you are trying to connect with isnt present you may need to add it.
Other than this instead of connecting with windows authentication maybe try connect with SQL Server Authentication as the SA user?
Is both Client and DB sever are on SAME domain ?? If not, then I think Windows Authentication will not work for you.
(As already suggested in above answer) create a SQL Login try with to connect DB from Client using that Login.
If both machine are on same domain and still you are not able to connect server, then few things you can check,
Can your client actually "see" this server over network ??
Most common reason is firewall. By default SQL Server communicates from port 1433 and 1434. Try to see if this MSDN link helps
Make sure that your SQL Server instance is configured to communicate using TCP/IP. This can be configured from SQL Server Configuration Manager.
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$Secret
How to connect to a remote SQL Server using servername, username & password in SQL Server 2005 ?
I'm going to assume that you're talking exactly about what your question asks, how to connect to a remote MSSQL instance inside SQL Server, rather than through SQL Server Management Studio because 1) you don't mention SSMS and 2) it's pretty obvious how to connect with SSMS (I mean, the connect box is right there when you start it).
To connect to one MSSQL instance from another you can use linked servers. You can query data from linked servers, and if they are configured for RPC Out you can also execute SQL against them.
If the server is configured for integrated security, there is no way of doing it without changing the security option.
Check out the ConnectionStrings website - it shows you how to build a connection string that will allow you to connect from your machine to a remote SQL Server instance.
That connection string will typically look something like:
server=YourServerHere;database=YourDatabase;User ID=YourUser;Password=Top$ecret
But there are lots of options and additional things you can specify - the ConnectionStrings.com web site shows and explains them all!
