When I open the ODBC Data Source Administrator (32-bit) to configure it for DB2 connections, I try to add a System DSN, and then add a DB2 database alias. The issue is that when adding the alias, the CLI/ODBC Settings don't show a TCP/IP tab so that I can enter in my db connection info. The only tabs listed are Data Source and Advanced Settings.
This is the 32-bit version of the driver. The 64-bit version has the TCP/IP tab and I configure it fine, but I need to be able to connect to a 32 bit instance.
How can I resolve this?
Here's what it looks like with the missing tabs: http://i.stack.imgur.com/54j5Y.png
You should be able to set those properties in the Advanced settings:
Add entries for the properties Hostname (use the ip address or hostname), Port (usually its 50000 for DB2) and that should be enough. Maybe you also need to set Property Protocol.
Note: I have never seen a tab to configure the TCP-IP Settings with the DB2 driver. Are you sure you want to use the DB2 driver and not the iSeries Access ODBC Driver? I think this has tabs to define the server connection properties.
I had a similar issue (not seeing the "TCP/IP" tab) while adding a DSN for the DB2 instance (v10.5) on our server. I added the following properties in the "Advanced Settings" tab, as suggested ;
Hostname: [ip address or hostname of the server]
Port: 50000
Database: [DB2 database I need to connect to]
After specifying the User ID & Password on the "Data Source" tab, the connection was successful and now I am able to work on the DB2 database using MS Access (Win 7, Office 2010).
Thank you!!!

I'm on a Windows server and I have installed 2 things:
- MariaDB version 10.5.9
- MariaDB ODBC Driver version 3.1.13
Now I'm using the ODBC Data Source Administrator to create an ODBC connection. So I clicked on 'Add', chose MariaDB ODBC driver and got the following screen in front of me:
I really have no clue what to fill under Server Name, Port, User Name and Password. Especially the Server name seems quiet hard because I don't know where to get it from....
I'm attempting to connect to a Postgres database that requires the client pass the paths to client and server SSL certificates using the ODBC driver for postgres. I'm using psqlodbc v11 x86 on Windows 10. I need to have three options passed to the ODBC driver sslrootcert, sslcert, and sslkey. I know that the paths are not being passed by the odbc driver since when I connect using the following connection string where I specify the pqopts it is able to connect.
Driver={PostgreSQL UNICODE};Server=XXXX;Port=5432;Database=XXXX;Uid=XXXX;Pwd=XXX;sslmode=verify-ca;pqopt={sslrootcert=C:\\ssl\\pgSQL.ca.cert sslcert=C:\\ssl\\pgSQL.cert sslkey=C:\\ssl\\pgSQL.key}
According to the document section
Advanced Options 3/3 Dialog Box->Libpq parameters, I should be able to pass the parameters by typing the values within the braces directly into the text box. It displays the error message saying that it cannot find the certificate because it is looking in the default location and is not using the value that was provided in the Libpq text box. Am I doing something wrong? Any advise on how to connect passing client certificates would be greatly appreciated.
Answering this in case anyone else finds this useful. The problem seems to be that the Test button on the ODBC Driver doesn't take the options set in the libpq parameters into account and just uses the default settings. When I saved the ODBC connection closed the ODBC Data Source Administrator window and used the connection from a different program it was able to connect successfully.
I have PostgreSQL 9.3 version. I have created database name db1 now I need it to share with other users who all are connected with the LAN's to connect other applications with the same database.
In SQL Server: We can do this by selecting server name with login details.
Question:
Is it possible in PostgreSQL?
If yes, how can do this?
What is the procedure?
You will need to modify pg_hba.conf to allow remote connections to the database. Information about pg_hba.conf can be found here.
After that, you can connect programatically with a connection string, or similar to your image, with a GUI application like pgAdmin.
To connect (remotely or locally) from pgAdmin choose File -> Add Server... and enter the connection information into the dialog box. Here's an example of the window:
Your client computers will also need to have PostgreSQL drivers as well. If you're doing this in Windows, you'll probably be using ODBC. The PostgreSQL ODBC drivers are here. Info on the connection string format can be found here.
Here's an example of what pgAdmin looks like:
I'm totally junior in this area :)
I have JAVA version 7 on my PC.
I want to connect my PostgreSQL database to NetBeans.
Based on my search I found that I should get JDBC driver. so I downloaded JDBC41 Postgresql Driver, Version 9.3-1100 jar files from here.
then based on what I found for connection remote Mysql, did similar changes to connect to my PostgreSQL database.
As you can see in the image, connection couldn't established.
Based on what my host says, I added my IP address to "Remote PostgreSQL Database Access" page of my host.
I'm not sure my host name is correct. I used Dedicated IP Address of my site.
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks
My fault was entering wrong user name and pass instead of using user name and password of database :(
I have a MySql database that is running on a linux server. The DB is not password encrypted.
I understand that no password != empty password.
I installed mysql workbenck on my windows laptop and am trying to connect to my database. It doesn't allow me to.
Details:
Connection method: Standard (TCP/IP)
Error: Cannot connect to Database server
Your connection attempt failed for user'root' from your host to server at 3306
Host is not allowed to connect to this MySql Server.
I am supposing it might be a windows firewall issue.
Please can somebody help me resolve this.
The error message says it clearly: the machine you are connecting from is not allowed to connect. In a MySQL server you can create users with specific IPs they can connect from. Often only localhost access is enabled (user#localhost or user#127.0.0.1 or user#::1), sometimes anyhost (user#%). In order to connect from your Windows machine your user must either be allowed to connect from any host or you need a specific user for the IP address of your Win machine.
The error because the mysql server is not starting in your computer.so you can start it manually..do the following steps,
1.download and install wamp server according to your bit version(32bit or 64bit) in your computer(http://wampserver-64bit.en.softonic.com/) this link allows you to download wamp server for 64bit.
2.As soon as you install it you can double click and run it..(you can see a icon in the right hand of the taskbar.It may be hide.so you can click the arrow which dhows you the hide apps runing).So click the icon and go to Mysql
3.Then go to Service and there you can find Start/Resume Services click on it..
4.And now it is done.Open mysql workbench and see.It will work..
You should create an specific user for accesing from your laptop:
CREATE USER 'youruser'#'machine.domain.com' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'youruser'#'machine.domain.com' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Or you could create an user for accesing from anywhere
CREATE USER 'new_user'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'my-password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'new_user'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
