Hey there, fellow tech enthusiasts! I recently stumbled upon a Reddit post that caught my attention. The author was struggling to figure out the correct SQL connection string for their software. I thought I’d share my thoughts on the issue and provide some insights that might be helpful.
The original poster mentioned that they were able to connect to the SQL database using SQL Anywhere, but couldn’t get the connection string to work with their software. The working connection string in SQL Anywhere looked like this: `UID=****;PWD=*****;Server=sqlTSERVER;ASTART=No;host=192.168.100.220`.
However, when they tried to use a similar connection string in their software, it didn’t work. They tried two different variations: `Provider=ASEOLEDB;Data Source=192.168.100.220;uid=****;pwd=****;` and `Provider=ASEOLEDB;Data Source=192.168.100.220;UID=****;PWD=*****;Server=sqlTSERVER;ASTART=No;`.
After taking a closer look, I think the issue might be related to the provider and data source parameters. It’s possible that the software requires a different provider or data source format. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? Do you have any tips or tricks to share?
Let’s dive deeper into the world of SQL connection strings and see if we can crack this puzzle together!
