JDBC jtds sqlserver connection string; by configuring the JDBC connection to connect to the SQL server. The MSSQL can get in connection through the JDTS driver.

Bobcares answers all questions no matter the size, as part of our MSSQL support Service. 

Let us take a look at JDBC jtds sqlserver connection string in detail.

Install JDBC for jtds sqlserver connection string

The JDBC connection driver must be in the configuration stage in order for ReadyAPI to connect to the Microsoft SQL Server database. MSSQL databases can establish connections using the JTDS driver. To install the JDBC driver follow the steps given below:

1. Firstly, download the JTDS.zip archive.
2. After that, Extract the downloaded ZIP file.
3. And finally, Add the jtds-x.x.x.jar file to your ReadyAPI installation’s bin/ext folder. To view the image larger, click it. Restart ReadyAPI after installing the a.jar file.

Connection String Template

To authenticate correctly, add a connection string. Go to the ReadyAPI preferences menu to do this.

1. On the toolbar, select the settings Preferences icon. To view the image larger, click it.
2. Click the JDBC Drivers settings button.
3. Toggle the Plus sign-on.
4. Give the driver a name that is illustrative. For the time being, use the following name:MSSQL/net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver.
5. At the bottom of the list, a new connection will appear.
6. Create a template for connection strings. This is how it should look: jdbc:jtds:sqlserver:/: Replace userdomain> with the domain name. PORT:1433>/DB>;domain=yourdomain>;trusted connection=yes The PORT should be a fixed port used to configure the server. To enlarge the image, click on it.

Connection String Template

Follow the procedures below to use Windows (NTLM) authorization with JTDS:

1. Firstly, Open the JTDS archive.
2. Then, open the proper directory for the operating system: x86 or x64.
3. After that navigate to the SSO directory.
4. Finally, copy the ntlmauth.dll file to your ReadyAPI installation’s bin folder.

The user must determine the protocol to use. TCP/IP is usually always the default choice unless when both the server and the client host on the same system. In this scenario, using named pipes improves efficiency.

TCP/IP

TCP/IP support both the jTDS and Microsoft drivers. There are two types of connections available: static and dynamic ports.

Static port:

A window with the Microsoft driver connection string template will open up:

jdbc:sqlserver://HOST:PORT:1433;databaseName=DB;user=USER;password=PASSWORD

Template for jTDS connection string:

jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://HOST:PORT:1433>/DB;user=USER;password=PASSWORD

It is important to note that a user will have access to both the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses as the server addresses. Therefore, the characteristics may differ on the basis of the authentication methods and other parameters.

Dynamic Port (only named instances):

It is vital to note that the SQL Server Browser service must be operating at all times. As with the status port, the Microsoft driver connection string template will be on the display:

jdbc:sqlserver://HOST;instanceName=instance_name;databaseName=DB;user==USER;password=PASSWORD

jTDS driver connection string template:

jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://HOST/DB;instance=instance_name;user=USER;password=PASSWORD

Named Pipes

Only the jTDS driver supports the connection with named pipes. And then, ensure that the Name pages are in the enable stage. connection string template:

jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://HOST;namedPipe=true;instanceName=instance_name;domain=<domain_name

If the server client hosts on the same local machine, then use the sqlserver connection string given below:

jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://\\.\;namedPipe=true;instance=instance_name;[domain=<domain_name]

To conclude complete the JDBC jtds sqlserver connection string process successfully a user must install and configure the JDBC to connect to the SQL database.
