Connecting to SQLServer 2000 using JDBC

Connecting to SQLServer 2000 take from me 2 days until i discovered the problem,
I tried all the solutions on the net until i installed the Service Pack 3,
In fact the TCP server of SQL-Server 2000 was not working . u can check that using :

in the command line

But after installation of Service pack3 finally TCP server work fine and i connected to the Database Server,So the first thing to do is to check the TCP server. Second if it not working try to install Service pack3 from Microsoft.

Here is the code to Open A connection to SQL-server 2000 using Microsoft JDBC
java code

try {
         Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
            System.out.println("Driver Exits !!!");
            
           connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
    "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://computer_name:port","username","password");
         
            } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
          catch (SQLException ex) {
             ex.printStackTrace();
        }

Thanks for Code

as JDK1.6 no need for Class.forName(..etc)

But , I think we may need Class.forName to specify the Driver you are using . For Example

For Mysql:

For PostGrelsql :

This Code learn you how to connect your java application with sql server using JDBC-ODBC:

Code for Database Connection in Java

java code

Import java.sql.*;
try   
{ 
  Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
  Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:WSD");
  Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
  ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * from student"); 
  statement.execute("insert into student values (1,12)");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
}

Notes :
WSD is the name of the connection name you made in the ODBC.
Line 7 is used if you want to execute a select statement and you can read data using string return = java code

result.getString("here you put the columns index you want to get its value");   // 1 as an example

To move the pointer of reading you write result.next();
Don't forget the import statement.
Line 8 is used to execute any non- select statement.
To make a connection name called "mydb" do the followings:
Control Panel -> Administrative Tools - >Data Sources (ODBC) -> add
Search for SQL Server then - > choose it and then click Finish
Write a name, description and name of your server - > name is -- and server is your SQL Server Name Then click next, then another next.
Change the default database to -- and choose your one , example : "NorthWind" then next and then finish.
You may test Data Source , then click ok.

Now, you made a Data Source that is connected to your database, for my example it is "NorthWind".
And now Line 7 and 8 must be from the tables in NorthWind and now you may change WSD in line 2 to be mydb.

Thanks for your code zahar
