I have a question, I do not know how to solve it yet. Perhaps someone here has faced a similar issue.
We have a PostgreSQL DB hosted on Gcloud. We usually use a cloud proxy to connect with the database. It usually works very well!! In a nutshell the proxy connect a port from local host, to the actual DB host.
However this time, we want to connect it with Microsoft SSMS. We have not find an option where we can connect Microsoft SSMS with a DB running locally (this means connecting to a database on a port in local host).
The ultimate goal is to connect the database with Power BI. So if someone know how to connect a PostgreSQL DB hosted in GCloud to power BI that would also be very helpful!!
We have followed this tutorial:
https://www.anibalum.com.ar/2020/06/creating-linked-server-with-postgres.html
However we get the following error:
The linked server has been created but failed a connection test. Do you want to keep the linked server?
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "PAPERFLOWDB".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "PAPERFLOWDB" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Invalid connection string attribute".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "PAPERFLOWDB" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
We are using Microsoft SSMS v18.9.1

I am trying to create a linked server between the warehouse and a amazon cloud service.
The service provide is using a PostgreSQL database.
I have installed the ODBC Driver (12.10) on my server but I keep getting this error.
I am not sure how to work around this as I have never used Postgres before.
I am unable to connect to a Google Cloud SQL instance. I get the error: [MySQL] [ODBC 5.1 Driver] Can't connect to MySQL server on 'XX.XXX.XX.XXX' (10060)
The IP from which I try to connect is a fixed ip and is registered in the list of allowed IPs in the Cloud SQL instance.
The machine that needs to connect is a Windows server with Windows Server 2016 operating system and can connect to other instances of Google Cloud SQL. We only have problems connecting to this instance. Another detail of the error is that the ping performed on my Windows instance returns total loss in relation to the Cloud SQL instance IP. Finally, I can access the databases using my local internet or another server.
I will be very grateful if someone can give me a tip to identify the problem
I'm trying to setup an easily-replicable (or even manual and I do it once a month or so) process for moving data from a large Azure PostgreSQL database to a more manageable Azure SQL database for end users that are most familiar with SQL Server. I've successfully connected to the PostgreSQL database via PGAdmin, so I know all my connection string info.
I started by installing the latest ODBC driver from here.
I then used a connection string which was given to me from the Azure portal, filled in the proper database name and password, and attempted to use the following drivers:
PostgreSQL ODBC Driver(UNICODE)
PostgreSQL ODBC Driver(ANSI)
I am getting the following error with either of them:
ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
What step am I missing in this process? Or how best can I troubleshoot this?
After more research, I attempted to add the ODBC driver here:
And got the following error (I'm not sure why Tableau is relevant to this?):
Thank you.
I downloaded and installed on Windows the following:
IBM DB2 Runtime Client (64-Bit) 10.5
with the aim of connecting to a remote server database.
It installed here:
C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB
But I don't see any DB2 folders in there.
I tried to catalog the remote db like this:
db2 catalog tcpip node testing remote the.server.com server 446
If I then try to connect to it, I get the following:
SQL1031N The database directory cannot be found on the indicated file system.
There is some wizard installed called the 'Default DB2 and IBM Database Client Interface Selection Wizard'. I ran this and it said it would create a default DB2 copy and would be used by default, called DB2COPY1 and it would be installed to C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB.
But I'm nnot sure what this is doing really.
What do I need to do here to connect to the remote DB2??
EDIT:
I have managed to get a bit further based on this article here:
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21008914
my current commands look like:
db2 catalog tcpip node tstnode remote my.server.com server 446
db2 catalog db db1name as mytstdb at node tstnode authentication server
db2 catalog dcs db db1name as A123456DAT
db2 terminate
db2 connect to mytstdb user <username> using <password>
However the connect fails with:
SQL30061N The database alias or database name "A123456DAT " was not
found at the remote node. SQLSTATE=08004
Any ideas?
If you are connecting through port 446, I guess you are trying to connect to DB2 for IBM z or DB2 for IBM i. If yes, you will need at least Db2 Connect.
Regarding error "SQL30061N The database alias or database name "A123456DAT " was not found at the remote node. SQLSTATE=08004" it happens to me when the userid does not have some priviledges on the source system. If it is an IBM i, look at the corresponding spool file. DRDA Connections are attended by jobs called QRWTSRVR. With the IBM i command WRKSPLF SELECT(USERID) (changing USERID by the user trying the DRDA connection) you can see the spool files for jobs related to your connection. Usually spool file messages are very specific on the cause of the failure.
If you are trying to connect to DB2 on z, I don't have experience.
My application server (say 192.168.100.1) and database server (say 192.168.100.2) both are on the same domain. I'm trying to create an ODBC connection from the application server to a SQL Server database on the database server, but at the time of login it generates this error:
Microsoft SQL Server Login
Connection failed:
SQL State: 'HYT00'
SQL Sever Error: 0
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Login timeout expired
I've checked all configuration for SQL Server and tried possible solutions without resolving this issue.
Important:
A DSN can be successfully created from my own PC but when attempting this server to server as described above, ODBC is facing this problem.
OK, I have got the solution. Sometimes, if SQL Server can't be found on network by its name while creating DSN in windows, the logging in takes time more than usual which tells ODBC manager that Database Server we are looking for is not responding or responding too late.
Solution.
Instead of selecting server from the list while making dsn, use 'server-ip\SQLExpress'.
e.g 192.168.100.2\SQLExpress.
Thats All.
