I know you guys have beaten this subject to death, but I'm just not
getting a connection to SqlServer 2005. It is installed locally, with
an instance name of DVN-P548. I use my windows user name and password
to log in.
require 'rubygems'
require_gem 'activerecord'
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
:adapter => 'sqlserver',
:mode => 'ADO',
:host => 'P548-DVN',
Why is this not DVN-P548?
:dsn => '???', ** what is this supposed
to be???
You shouldn't need that part of the Hash. Try leaving the :dsn part out.
:database => 'CountsAAN',
:username => 'my_windows_userid',
:password => 'my_password'
)
class WiRecord < ActiveRecord::Base
end
Errors I get returned are either "Server does not exist or access is
denied" (thanks, MS, for narrowing this one down a bit), or "user is
not trusted"
That last error is a bit weird. That means you're connecting to
something, but failing. Maybe look at your permissions?
, depending on what values I have attempted for host and
dsn. What is host and dsn? Believe it or not, I do not find a clear
definition in the rails handbook.
"host" is the name of the machine you are running the database on.
This can also be an IP address. If the database is on the same
machine, use 127.0.0.1 or localhost.
Do I want to use ADO, or should I use ODBC? If odbc, where does one
find the connection string? Being a windows user, I'm so used to
having everything done for me under the covers that I don't understand
any of the underlying details.
Hopefully somebody else can answer this.
Thanks for everything,
dvn
