Good morning,

I am trying to connect to an Azure DB (SQL 2014), using PB 2022 R3 Build 3356. I have tried both "SNC SQL Native Client(OLE DB)"

and "MSOLEDBSQL SQL Server" DB drivers, but I get the following error on both.

SQLSTATE = 08001
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53].

SQLSTATE = 08001
Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53].

I am adding the two INI files

[database]
DBMS = "MSOLEDBSQL SQL Server"
DBParm="PROVIDER='MSOLEDBSQL19',DATASOURCE='8efd10b79928.database.windows.net',PROVIDERSTRING='database=MY_TEST',
TrustedConnection=1,CommitOnDisconnect='No',PBTrimCharColumns='YES',INTEGRATEDSECURITY=',TrustedConnection=1
LogId=abc@rac.com
LogPassword=
ServerName=8efd10b79928.database.windows.net
Database=MY_TEST
UserId=
DatabasePassword=
;Lock=RL
Lock=RC
StayConnected=1
DBParm=StaticBind=0
AutoCommit=0

 

[database]
DBMS = "SNC SQL Native Client(OLE DB)"
DBParm="PROVIDER='SQLNCLI11',DATASOURCE='8efd10b79928.database.windows.net',PROVIDERSTRING='database=MY_TEST',
TrustedConnection=1,CommitOnDisconnect='No',PBTrimCharColumns='YES',INTEGRATEDSECURITY=',TrustedConnection=1

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

I was finally able to solve the issue using the ADO.Net. Here is the DBParm that I used.

            
DBMS="ADO.Net"
DBParm="Provider='SQL Server',DataSource='8efd10b79928.database.windows.net,1433',Database='MY_DB',

PROVIDERSTRING='Authentication=ActiveDirectoryInteractive;',CommitOnDisconnect='No',PBTrimCharColumns='YES'"

I am getting this error now.

Even though the DBA has installed the latest driver on a 2019 Server.

I am not an Azure expert, so I cannot comment on Azure's bitness restrictions.

If Azure does not support 32 bitness (that seems weird to me) then you have two choices:

A) Compile your Apps into 64 bit mode or

B) use a different SS DB Client (ie: ODBC).

I created a 64 bit version. Now, I am getting a different error



"There is currently no matching version, Lowest Supported Version: 22.2.0.3356"

You are now probably missing the PB 64 bit runtime deployment files.

did you open the azure sql firewall to allow your external ip address to connect?  Or do you have a VPN to the azure network that it is on?

 

"Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53]."

turn off named pipes in your sql server client setup .  make sure tcp/ip is on.

How can I turn off named pipes in PB or the INI file? How do I turn tcp/ip on?

Hi Yasir;

  The 08001 error is typically ... "A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections"

Regards .. Chris

Chris,

I am able to connect using SSMS, but not through the DB Profile or using an INI file.

That is because PB only uses TCP/IP. So as Mike suggests ... make sure TCP/IP is ON at the SS configuration setting level and then make sure that that IP / Port is open on the Azure firewall. HTH
