Hi, Guys,

How to remote connect to the SQL server 2005 when there is a =91\=92 in the=
SQL
server name, such as 192.168.0.11\active?

In fact, when I try to remote connect it by the SQL 2005 client, everything
goes well.

On local, there is a SQL 2005 server, it is:
*Server name:* 192.168.132.157
*User:* Wesley
*Password:* 111111
I can connect it successfully by:
*db=3DSqlServer.new('192.168.132.157', 'Wesley', '111111')*

*db.open(=91active_local=92)*

But on another remote server, it is SQL 2005 with the value like:
*Server name:* 192.168.0.11\thesql
*User:* Wesley
*Password:* abc?de
I can't connect it successfully by:
*db=3DSqlServer.new('*192.168.0.11*\thesql', 'Wesley', 'abc?de')*

*db.open('active_int')*
or
*db=3DSqlServer.new('*192.168.0.11*\\thesql', 'Wesley', 'abc?de')*

*db.open('active_int')*

I get error message:

E:/NetbeansProjects/ActiveTrainer/lib/sql-server.rb:*26*:in
`method_missing': Open (WIN32OLERuntimeError)

OLE error code:80004005 in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server

* [dbmssocn] **General network error. Check your network
documentation. *

HRESULT error code:0x80020009

Exception occurred. from
E:/NetbeansProjects/ActiveTrainer/lib/sql-server.rb:26:in `open'

from E:/NetbeansProjects/ActiveTrainer/lib/sql-server.rb:76

The *26 *above points to the sentence below in Red color.

My connect string is:

*def initialize(host, username =3D 'sa', password=3D'')*

* @connection =3D nil*

* @data =3D nil*

* @host =3D host*

* @username =3D username*

* @password =3D password*

*end*

* *

*def open(database)*

* # Open ADO connection to the SQL Server database*

* connection_string =3D "Provider=3DSQLOLEDB.1;"*

* connection_string << "Persist Security Info=3DFalse;"*

* connection_string << "User ID=3D#{@username};"*

* connection_string << "password=3D#{@password};"*

* connection_string << "Initial Catalog=3D#{database};"*

* connection_string << "Data Source=3D#{@host};"*

* connection_string << "Network Library=3Ddbmssocn"*

* **@connection =3D WIN32OLE.new('ADODB.Connection')*

*End*

I connect the remote SQL server by SQL 2005 client, using the username and
password above, I succeed.
Appreciated to any suggestions.


Thanks.
