MSSQL Support?

[Matthias Rebbe | M-R-D]

Hi Bob,

i am using ODBC to MSSQL connections on Mac and Windows for some years now with great success.

I am using system dsn and in some projects also ODBC connection strings.
Advantage of the ODBC connection string is the customer do not have to create a dsn.

Here are some examples of ODBC connection strings under Windows 

SQL SERVER Driver
get revOpenDatabase("ODBC","DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=192.168.1.250;DATABASE=DBNAME;UID=DBUSER;PWD=DBUSERNAME;Trusted_Connection=No",,,)  
         
SQL Server Driver - connect to instance
get revOpenDatabase("ODBC","DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=192.168.1.250\INSTANCENAME;DATABASE=DBNAME;UID=DBUSER;PWD=DBUSERPASSWORD;Trusted_Connection=No",,,)  

Native Client 11 Driver
get revOpenDatabase("ODBC","DRIVER={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};SERVER=192.168.1.250;DATABASE=DBNAME;UID=DBUSER;PWD=DBUSERPASSWORD;Trusted_Connection=No",,,)  

Native Client 11 Driver - connect to instance
get revOpenDatabase("ODBC","DRIVER={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};SERVER=192.168.1.250\InstanceName;DATABASE=DBNAME;UID=DBUSER;PWD=DBUSERPASSWORD;Trusted_Connection=No",,,)  
         
and under Mac using the Actualtech ODBC driver
get revOpenDatabase("ODBC","Driver={Actual SQL Server};Server=192.168.1.250\INSTANCENAME;Database=DBNAME;UID=DBUSER;PWD=DBPASSWORD;",,,)




Regards,

Matthias
