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 connectionstring";oSQLConn.Open();
VB.NET:Imports System.Data.SqlClientDim oSQLConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection()oSQLConn.ConnectionString="my connectionstring"oSQLConn.Open()
OracleConnection (.NET)
Standard:
"Data Source=MyOracleDB;Integrated Security=yes;" This one works only with Oracle 8i release 3 or later Specifying username and password:
"Data Source=MyOracleDB;User Id=username;Password=passwd;Integrated Security=no;" This one works only with Oracle 8i release 3 or later Declare the OracleConnection:
C#:using System.Data.OracleClient;OracleConnection oOracleConn = new OracleConnection();oOracleConn.ConnectionString = "my connectionstring";oOracleConn.Open();
VB.NET:Imports System.Data.OracleClientDim oOracleConn As OracleConnection = New OracleConnection()oOracleConn.ConnectionString = "my connectionstring"oOracleConn.Open()
