Estimated Reading Time: 1 Minutes
To connect to Microsoft SQL Server use Microsoft's JDBC driver or another JDBC driver that supports Microsoft SQL Server.
-
Install the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/aa937724.aspx
For example, install it in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver
-
Include the sqljdbc.jar file in your class path.
For example,
SET CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver\sqljdbc_1.2\enu\sqljdbc.jar;%CLASSPATH%
-
Specify the JDBC driver class with the iscobol.jdbc.driver property
For example,
iscobol.jdbc.driver=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
-
Set the JDBC connection URL with the iscobol.jdbc.url property
For example,
iscobol.jdbc.url=jdbc:sqlserver://192.168.1.10:1433;databaseName=mydbname
Replace 192.168.1.10 with the correct IP address, 1433 with the correct port number and mydbname with the correct name for your database.
