I’m trying to connect to a MS SQL Server 2005 Express database that is running on the local host from a java program.
I have tried the same connect URL (below) that I used on another system (same jave code) that was running MS SQL Server 2000. But that does not work.
jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433/Finance
Any ideas?
Are you sure it is the correct instance? SQL Express tends to install as named instance, like “localhost\SQLExpress”, instead of a standard instance. So it would be something like:
If this doesn’t work, try dropping the instance name, and changing the port to the port used by the named instance:
Else try to check your connectivity through OSQL.exe tool first. You can also check the jTDS FAQ on this.
