I am trying to connect to a remote SQL server. I would like to know the proper way to connect to the server. TCP/IP protocol is enabled. I am trying this way:
#"Server=myserver.com\SQLEXPRESS; Database=mydatabase; User ID=user; password=pass"
I am using myserver.com to connect to the server via RDP and I can connect without any problems, but when I am using the combination above to connect
to the SQL server via my code, it says that the server can't be found or does not exist.
Am I doing something wrong?
May I introduce you to http://www.connectionstrings.com whenever I have to manually create a connection string that's my first port of call. I can tell you right now that you can't do SQLExpress from a remote client (at least not the last time I checked). But here is the page for SQL Server connection strings. If it works, then it'll be there
Edit
It looks like you can connect remotely. It's just not configured that way out of the box

I have successfully connected "Mrth Connect 3.5" with an Azure DB. But when i try to create and save a channel i`m getting an internal server error as below from Mirth.
Below is the Mirth Connect Server Manager database settings and connection string. I`m confident that this connection string is correct as Mirth Connect Server Manager turns to orange in color when i try connect to the Azure DB using these settings. So what might be causing the error.
jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://**.database.windows.net;DatabaseName=**
I have tried the above method couple of times. I did not work for me either. The best way usually everyone prefers is to leave the default mirth settings as it is in the server manager, so your screen will look like below
Inside the Mirth you can create channels and from the channel you can establish the connection to the databases as you like. This method will definitely work. I have tried connecting mydatabase established in AWS server it was working for me. Make sure you open the default port of MSSQL (1433). In case you create a new user and assign the database your port number may change. In that case you this below query in SQL server
USE master GO xp_readerrorlog 0, 1, N’Server is listening on’ GO
To identify the port number in which the database is running, and open that specific port in your cloud system.

want to connect to a database on another PC connected via LAN. I am able to use the sql server db with string like C:\Users... but i cannot connect using string like (\\Server\c\user...) I tried to move the db file to My Documents, still i get this error.
I get the following error message: An attempt to attach an auto-names database for file (\\SERVER\Users\Jeswills\Documents\TBSDB.mdf) failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share
I hope i asked the question correctly
As database does not support the '\SERVER\c...' parameters, i had to attach the database, after enabling TCP/IP and SQL Browser, i had to create a login through security and add it to the attached database file because authentication must be SQL not windows. And i also gave read/write privileges to the account. Then on the child system, i confirmed connection to the account through SSMS with the login connecting to SERVER (which is the remote computer's name).
Note: you must be able to ping the remote systems and SQL Server Express R2 installed. I tried with SQL Server Express but did not get a head way. www.connectionstrings.com/sql-server-2008 for more connection string
Then i used this connection string to connect remotely, making integrated security and user instance = false unlike if i were connecting locally.
Data Source=SERVER\SQLEXPRESS,1433;Database=DATABASEFILE.MDF;Integrated Security=False;Network Library=dbmssocn;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=False;user='USERNAME';password='PASSWORD'
Not sure what specifically you’re trying to do here but I guess it’s one of these two.
Option 1
Attach database stored on remote shared drive to a local SQL Server
Note that this is only possible starting in SQL Server 2008 R2. If you’re running SQL Server 2008 this is not an option.
Check this for more details

Option 2
Connect to remote SQL Server instance from local computer
If that database is already attached to SQL Server instance that runs on the same machine then it’s much better to just connect to that instance from SSMS than trying to attach database from remote storage.
To do this you need to enable TCP/IP protocol in SQL Server Configuration Manager. It’s under SQL Server Network configuration node. Make sure you enable TCP/IP and also set enable the IP address for listening (this is under TCP/IP properties).
Apart from this you’ll want to enable remote connections on your remote instance. This is done from SSMS -> instance properties -> Connection tab
When this is done you should be able to connect to remote instance from local SSMS by typing in IPaddress/instance name. For example 192.168.0.125/{instance_name} or only IP address if this is default instance.
I am new to SQL server, I want to connect my SQL Server(Management Studio) to a network SQL Server, How can I do that??
Enter your server, username, and password.
You can use windows authentication etc. What in particular are you finding hard about connecting to your particular server?
When you open the management studio, it should have a spot to specify the hostname and credentials you want to connect with. Just enter the remote server name and credentials to connect with and that should be it (assuming the remote server allows remote connections).
Since you want use the Network Server, You need to check 2 things for Windows Authentication you need to have the access to the remote machine means you should be able to connect remotely using mstsc command. And the second if you are using SQL server authentication then check the functional id which you are using is correct or not. If this 2 things satisfy you can connect any remote server from your machine.
Ok, so I started working on my machine locally but I still need to access the database on the remote server. I was using this...
DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:#dukeorrac01:1521:ORDB1","nrsc","nrsc");
But that doesn't seem to be accessing a remote server. I assume I need some sort of IP address in there somewhere. I realize I should use a datasource but I didn't set all this up and I don't have time to learn how to implement that (will do that after this project).
How do I access that remotely?
P.S. I'm using jboss as my locally running server.
In your connection string "jdbc:oracle:thin:#dukeorrac01:1521:ORDB1","nrsc","nrsc" dukeorrac01 refers to the host where your DB is. Replace that with whatever host you want to connect to (assuming all others parts of the connection string stay the same).
Here is the syntax for oracle connection string
jdbc:oracle:thin:#[HOST][:PORT]:SID
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!
