1. SQL Server

• ODBC
  Standard Security:
  "Driver={SQL Server};Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;Uid=sa;Pwd=asdasd;"
  
  Trusted connection:
  "Driver={SQL Server};Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;
  Trusted_Connection=yes;"
  
  Prompt for username and password:
  oConn.Properties("Prompt") = adPromptAlwaysoConn.Open "Driver={SQL Server};Server=Aron1;DataBase=pubs;"
  
  
• OLE DB, OleDbConnection (.NET)
  
  Standard Security:
  "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=Aron1;Initial Catalog=pubs;User Id=sa;Password=asdasd;"
  
  Trusted Connection:
  "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=Aron1;Initial Catalog=pubs;Integrated Security=SSPI;"
  (use serverName\instanceName as Data Source to use an specifik SQLServer instance, only SQLServer2000)
  
  Prompt for username and password:
  oConn.Provider = "sqloledb"oConn.Properties("Prompt") = adPromptAlwaysoConn.Open "Data Source=Aron1;Initial Catalog=pubs;"
  
  Connect via an IP address:
  "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=190.190.200.100,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=pubs;User ID=sa;Password=asdasd;"
  
  (DBMSSOCN=TCP/IP instead of Named Pipes, at the end of the Data Source is the port to use (1433 is the default))
  
  
• SqlConnection (.NET)
  Standard Security:
  "Data Source=Aron1;Initial Catalog=pubs;User Id=sa;Password=asdasd;" - or -
  "Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;User ID=sa;Password=asdasd;Trusted_Connection=False"
  
  (both connection strings produces the same result)
  
  
  Trusted Connection:
  "Data Source=Aron1;Initial Catalog=pubs;Integrated Security=SSPI;" - or -"Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;Trusted_Connection=True;"
  
  (both connection strings produces the same result)
  (use serverName\instanceName as Data Source to use an specifik SQLServer instance,
  only SQLServer2000)
  
  Connect via an IP address:
  "Data Source=190.190.200.100,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=pubs;User ID=sa;Password=asdasd;"
  (DBMSSOCN=TCP/IP instead of Named Pipes,
  at the end of the Data Source is the port to use (1433 is the default))
  
  Declare the SqlConnection:
  C#:using System.Data.SqlClient;SqlConnection oSQLConn = new SqlConnection();oSQLConn.ConnectionString="my connection string";oSQLConn.Open();
  
  VB.NET:
  Imports System.Data.SqlClientDim oSQLConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection()oSQLConn.ConnectionString="my connection string"oSQLConn.Open()

SQL Server 2005

• SQL Native Client ODBC Driver
  Standard security:
  "Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;UID=sa;PWD=asdasd;"
  
  Trusted connection:
  "Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;Trusted_Connection=yes;"
  
  EquivalentsIntegrated Security=SSPI equals Trusted_Connection=yes
  
  Prompt for username and password:
  oConn.Properties("Prompt") = adPromptAlwaysoConn.Open "Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=Aron1;DataBase=pubs;"
  
  Enabling MARS (multiple active result sets):
  
  "Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;
  
  Trusted_Connection=yes;MARS_Connection=yes"
  
  EquivalentsMultipleActiveResultSets=true equals MARS_Connection=yes
  
  
  Encrypt data sent over network:
  
  "Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;
  
  Trusted_Connection=yes;Encrypt=yes"
  Attach a database file on connect to a local SQL Server Express instance:
  
  "Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=.\SQLExpress;
  
  AttachDbFilename=c:\asd\qwe\mydbfile.mdf;
  
  Database=dbname;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
  
  - or -
  
  "Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=.\SQLExpress;
  
  AttachDbFilename=DataDirectorymydbfile.mdf;
  
  Database=dbname;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
  
  (use DataDirectory when your database file resides in the data directory)
  
  Why is the "Database" parameter needed?
  Answer:
  If the database was previously attached, SQL Server does not reattach it
  (it uses the attached database as the default for the connection).
  
  (the package contains booth the ODBC driver and the OLE DB provider)
  Using SQL Server 2005 Express? Don't miss the server name syntax:
  
  SERVERNAME\SQLEXPRESS (Substitute "SERVERNAME" with the name of the computer)
  
• SQL Native Client OLE DB Provider
  Standard security:

  Enabling MARS (multiple active result sets):
  "Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;
  Trusted_Connection=yes;MarsConn=yes"
  
  Equivalents
  
  MarsConn=yes equals MultipleActiveResultSets=true equals MARS_Connection=yes
  
  
  Encrypt data sent over network:
  "Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;

  Attach a database file on connect to a local SQL Server Express instance:
  "Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=.\SQLExpress;
  AttachDbFilename=c:\asd\qwe\mydbfile.mdf;
  Database=dbname;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
  - or -
  "Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=.\SQLExpress;

  SQL Server does not reattach it
  (it uses the attached database as the default for the connection).

  Using SQL Server 2005 Express? Don't miss the server name syntax:
  SERVERNAME\SQLEXPRESS (Substitute "SERVERNAME" with the name of the computer)

• SqlConnection (.NET)
  Standard Security:
  "Data Source=Aron1;Initial Catalog=pubs;User Id=sa;Password=asdasd;"
  
  - or -
  
  "Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;User ID=sa;Password=asdasd;Trusted_Connection=False"

  (DBMSSOCN=TCP/IP instead of Named Pipes,
  at the end of the Data Source is the port to use (1433 is the default))
  
  Enabling MARS (multiple active result sets):
  "Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;
  Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"
  
  Note! Use ADO.NET 2.0 for MARS functionality.
  MARS is not supported in ADO.NET 1.0 nor ADO.NET 1.1

  Attach a database file on connect to a local
  SQL Server Express instance:
  "Server=.\SQLExpress;
  AttachDbFilename=c:\asd\qwe\mydbfile.mdf;
  Database=dbname;
  Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
  - or -
  "Server=.\SQLExpress;
  AttachDbFilename=DataDirectorymydbfile.mdf;
  Database=dbname;
  Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
  
  (use DataDirectory when your database file resides in the data directory)
  Why is the "Database" parameter needed?
  Answer: If the database was previously attached,
  SQL Server does not reattach it (
  it uses the attached database as the default for the connection).
  
  Using "User Instance" on a local SQL Server Express instance:
  "Data Source=.\SQLExpress;integrated security=true;
  attachdbfilename=DataDirectory\mydb.mdf;user instance=true;"
  
  The "User Instance" functionality creates a new SQL Server
  instance on the fly during connect. This works only on a local SQL Server 2005
  instance and only when connecting using windows authentication over local named pipes.
  The purpose is to be able to create a full rights SQL Server instance to a user
  with limited administrative rights on the computer.
  To enable the functionality: sp_configure 'user instances enabled','1' (0 to disable)
  Using SQL Server 2005 Express? Don't miss the server name syntax:
  SERVERNAME\SQLEXPRESS (Substitute "SERVERNAME" with the name of the computer)

• Context Connection - connecting to "self" from within your
  CLR stored prodedure/function
  C#:
  using(SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("context connection=true"))
  { connection.Open();
  // Use the connection
  }
  
  Visual Basic:
  Using connection as new SqlConnection("context connection=true")
  connection.Open() ' Use the connection
  End Using
  
  The context connection lets you execute Transact-SQL statements
  in the same context (connection) that your code was invoked in the first place.

  Note! The two double quota ("") following the DSN parameter at
  the end are escaped quotas (VB syntax),
  you may have to change this to your
  language specific escape syntax (\") or maybe single quota (').
  The empty DSN parameter is indeed critical as not including it will result in error 7778.
  OLE DB
  Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA):

• ODBC
  Standard:

  TIP! SQL syntax: "SELECT * FROM [sheet1$]" - i.e. worksheet name followed by a "$"
  and wrapped in "[" "]" brackets.

• OLE DB
  Standard:
  "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\MyExcel.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1"""
  
  "HDR=Yes;" indicates that the first row contains columnnames, not data
  
  "IMEX=1;" tells the driver to always read "intermixed"
  data columns as text. Note that this option might affect excel sheet write access negative.
  
  TIP! SQL syntax: "SELECT * FROM [sheet1$]" -
  i.e. worksheet name followed by a "$" and wrapped in "[" "]" brackets.
  
  TIP! Check out the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel]
  located registry REG_DWORD "TypeGuessRows". That's the key to n
  ot letting Excel use only the first 8 rows to guess the columns data type.
  Set this value to 0 to scan all rows. This might hurt performance.
  
  Important note! The two double quota ("") in the string are escaped quotas (VB syntax),
  you may have to change this to your language specific escape syntax (ex. \") or
  maybe single quota (').
