Question

How do you connect to a remote database with SQLTALK?

EDIT:
I was going to add a SQLTALK tag but I’m not cool enough again. So… could someone re-tag this question? Thanks Marc_s for the tag!

Answer 1

This finally worked for me for my SQL Server:
Create an ODBC
edit the SQL.ini

[win32client.dll]
comdll=sqlodb32

[ODBCRTR]
remotedbname=Alias,DSN=NameOfYourODBC

Then in SQLTalk open the connection dialog and type the Alias into the database field. Then enter your credentials and press Connect.

Connecting to Oracle is similar, add these lines:

[ORAGTWY]
remotedbname=Alias,@TNS_name
longbuffer=900000
substitute=SYSSQL.,
fetchrow=100
maperror=off


[win32client.dll]
comdll=sqlora32

I hope this helps someone else out.
