I have POWERBUILDER 11.1 installed on my workstation, however I dont see the SNC SQL Native client in the Database Profile window. I have reinstalled the IDE multiple times without succesfuly having the SNC SQL Native Client dipslaying. My OS is Windows XP 32 bit.
How do I resolve this issue so I can connect to my SQL DB?
Do you have the SQL Server Native Client runtime installed on your machine? It's a package from Microsoft that is needed to access SQL Server. You can get the SQL Server 2008 version here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16978 (Scroll down until you find sqlncli.msi). It needs to be installed on all the client machines that will be accessing SQL Server.
It sounds like you need to do a Full install or a Custom install and select SNC. I don't recall if SNC is part of the default installation, but it sounds like not.
Good luck,
Terry.
I think that you can not connect to SQL Server 2008 using PB 11.1, but I am not sure. Maybe you can but I can't remember if it is possible to use all the new features of 2008 version.
I am sure that you can connect to SQL Server 2005 cause I'm doing it every day, but you must first install SQL SNC driver as slapout answered.

I am new to SQL Server and trying to familiarize myself with it, so I have some questions.
My background is Oracle and am wondering if it works very similar to SQL Server.
On a client machine we need to install a client version of Oracle, and with the installation it comes with a TNSNames.ORA file which has settings for all of the Oracle DB's which are located on an Oracle DB server.
I would assume that SQL server would follow something similar, install a client version of SQL server? If so, does SQL Server has something similar to local Oracle?
I've found how connect to SQL server from another computer, just wondering if I still would need a slim down/client version of SQL Server, I would assume yes.

Some of you might be asking, why don't you try it, don't have my second computer yet, would like this info. ahead of time.
Thank you
SQL Server client APIs include the low-level components needed to connect to and use SQL Server so there is generally no need to install other connectivity components. To name a few Microsoft ones:
ODBC: Latest version is ODBC Driver 13.1 for SQL Server
OLE DB: Latest is SQL Server 2012 Native Client
.Net Provider for SQL Server (SqlClient): included .NET framework
JDBC: Latest Microsoft version is 6.2
There are also a number of other open source and commercial APIs available for use in various programming languages and development frameworks (e.g. Tedious for Node.js).
I've installed SQL Server 2016 (Standard Edition) on a Windows Server 2016, selecting Integration Services to be installed too. I've also installed SSMS and SSDT from the same installation media.
I am running SSMS as administrator and can connect to the local Database engine.
My user is a Windows and SQL Server admin.
However I cannot connect (explicitly using the server name) or even browse to the local Integration Services?
Receiving the following error.
SSIS not browsable and can't connect
Having already searched for an answer to this problem, many suggest checking that the service is running etc. which can be seen in the Services and SQL Configuration Manager.

I've also tried turning off the Windows Firewall to establish if that is the cause of the problem but it had no effect.
Anyone got any ideas what might be preventing it from being accessible?
I've had this problem last month. In my case I had to install the 32-bit version of access database engine (on my 64 bit windows).
Sql data tools works with 32-bit

The later SSMS versions (16.x and 17.x) will only connect to their respective versions SQL 2016 and SQL 2017. Microsoft is planning to retire the older method in favor of the SSISDB, which is more secure.
Link to the official statement from Microsoft (in the note box).
I have had the same problem and the solution was to install the old interface on top of the existing one (SQL Server Management Studio 2016). Here's link to the installation file. After having installed this, I can now connect to the integration services. You will have to set it up of course and give yourself Rights
I have to use Microsoft SQL database in Qt on Raspbian and I wonder whether is it possible. If so, use of which version (4 or 5) is easier to achieve it (building plugins etc.).
Connecting to Microsoft SQL Server from QT / Rasbpian is perfectly possible.
You need to install / use client side ODBC drivers, like unixODBC and FreeTDS.
If I create my database using SQL Server Express 10 and in target system where my application needs to run SQL Server Express 10.5, will I face any problems?
On my system I have SQL Server Express 10 installed (I guess it was installed with Visual Studio 2010) after sometime I installed VS2012 and removed it couple of months later. In my application I use .\sqlexpress in the connection string, I am not sure whether this is a SQL Server 2012 Express version or a 2010 version which is being used on my system?
So I just wanted to know if moving to the new system would cause me any kind of incompatibility or weird and unpredictable results and to avoid them what do I need to install on the target machine?
And also what would be sufficient to be installed on the target system by the way?
When I search SQL Server Express, there are several versions with different sizes, which one is needed and is enough?
This is perfectly safe but you can't go back because the database will be upgraded.
I have installed Oracle Client 10g 32 bit and ODAC 11g R2 on my Windows 7 machine, but I cannot see any Oracle Providers in MS ODBC Administration or when I try to created a linked server to Oralce in SQL Server Management Studio or in Visual Studio 2010. Can anyone please help me out as what to do? I can connect to Oracle server through SQLPlus but get errors when connecting through VS 2010 using MS providers for Oracle.
Please help!
When you installed the Oracle Client, did you also install the ODBC driver? IOW, did you do a custom install and add in the ODBC driver? Unless you do a full client install the ODBC drivers are not installed.
You're not specifying if your windows 7 installation is 32 or 64 bit.
If it's 32 bit then see the previous answer, restart Oracle installer and check that ODBC is selected.
If it's 64 bit I advise you to install both the Oracle client in 32 bit (as you did) and also the Oracle 11 client in 64 bit, so that you can use the proper library.
In any case I still haven't found a proper way to perform Oracle installation on Windows 7 (64 bit) that works for every client and tool combination, good luck.
I struggled with this for a while too, best solution I found was here:
