Hi, Guys,

How to remote connect to the SQL server 2005 when there is a ‘\’ in the
SQL
server name, such as 192.168.0.11\active?

In fact, when I try to remote connect it by the SQL 2005 client,
everything
goes well.

On local, there is a SQL 2005 server, it is:
Server name: 192.168.132.157
User: Wesley
Password: 111111
I can connect it successfully by:
db=SqlServer.new(‘192.168.132.157’, ‘Wesley’, ‘111111’)

db.open(‘active_local’)

But on another remote server, it is SQL 2005 with the value like:
Server name: 192.168.0.11\thesql
User: Wesley
Password: abc?de
I can’t connect it successfully by:
db=SqlServer.new(‘192.168.0.11\thesql’, ‘Wesley’, ‘abc?de’)

db.open(‘active_int’)
or
db=SqlServer.new(‘192.168.0.11\thesql’, ‘Wesley’, ‘abc?de’)

db.open(‘active_int’)

I get error message:

E:/NetbeansProjects/ActiveTrainer/lib/sql-server.rb:26:in
`method_missing’: Open (WIN32OLERuntimeError)

OLE error code:80004005 in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server

 * [dbmssocn] **General network error. Check your network

documentation. *

HRESULT error code:0x80020009

  Exception occurred.        from

E:/NetbeansProjects/ActiveTrainer/lib/sql-server.rb:26:in `open’

    from E:/NetbeansProjects/ActiveTrainer/lib/sql-server.rb:76

The *26 *above points to the sentence below in Red color.

My connect string is:

def initialize(host, username = ‘sa’, password=’’)

  • @connection = nil*

  • @data = nil*

  •     @host = host*

  •     @username = username*

  •     @password = password*

end

def open(database)

  • Open ADO connection to the SQL Server database*

  • connection_string = “Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;”*

  • connection_string << “Persist Security Info=False;”*

  • connection_string << “User ID=#{@username};”*

  • connection_string << “password=#{@password};”*

  • connection_string << “Initial Catalog=#{database};”*

  • connection_string << “Data Source=#{@host};”*

  • connection_string << “Network Library=dbmssocn”*

  • *@connection = WIN32OLE.new(‘ADODB.Connection’)

End

**

I connect the remote SQL server by SQL 2005 client, using the username
and
password above, I succeed.
Appreciated to any suggestions.

Thanks.
