i want to connect to SSMS database from eclipse but it throws SQLserverException

I want to connect to SSMS database from eclipse. when compiler reaches to DriverManager.getConnection(url) line it throws error.I enable TCP/IP also but it giving error.
try{
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
System.out.println("driver loaded successfully");
connection= DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost\\MSSQLSERVER;user=sa;password=coder182");
System.out.println("Connection created successfully");
connection.setAutoCommit( autoCommit);
statement=connection.createStatement();
String query ="insert into User_information(name, card_no,amount)" + "values ('"+name+"','"+card_no+"', '"+amount+"');";
statement.executeUpdate(query);
System.out.println(query);
}catch(Throwable th){
th.printStackTrace();
}
}
Error:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The connection to the
host localhost, named instance mssqlserver failed. Error:
"java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Receive timed out". Verify the
server and instance names and check that no firewall is blocking UDP
traffic to port 1434. For SQL Server 2005 or later, verify that the
SQL Server Browser Service is running on the host.
I want to connect it to database.

open SQL Server Configuration Manager
SQl Server Network Configuration
protocols for MSSQLSERVER
TCP/IP(Must be enabled already or enable it)
(Double Click)
IP Addresss
scroll down to IPALL
Enter port number 1433 or 1434 and leave dynamic ports empty and apply setting and restart your service
And you must specify databaseName you want to connect
"jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;instance=MSSQLSERVER;databaseName=name_of_database;user=sa;password=your_password;"
Mark answer as accepted if issue resolved

If "MSSQLSERVER" is the name of the database then try
"jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;databaseName=MSSQLSERVER;user=sa;password=coder182"
if it is the name of the instance try
"jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;instanceName=MSSQLSERVER;user=sa;password=coder182"
and of course verify that the server is running and using port 1434

Unable to connect Java application to SQL Server database

I am trying to write a Java desktop app that can connect to my database made with Microsoft SQL Server Manager to allow me to view and update it. But, I am having trouble getting the connection to work. I've read through a bunch of tutorials and threads here on Stack Exchange of similar problems, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
The server is called "SQLEXPRESS" using Windows authentication. I downloaded the JDBC driver found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=11774 installed it in NetBeans by going to "Services-Databases(right click)-New Connection-Add", but I also added it as a library in my project.
When I try this code, I get the exception that the TCP/IP connection failed either because the server isn't running or port 1433 is locked:
try{
String
URL="jdbc:sqlserver://sqlexpress:1433;DatabaseName=GreenhouseManagement";
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL,"","");
System.out.println("connected");
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Oops\n"+e);
}
What do I need to change to fix this?

You might need to reconfigure your connection string into this format.
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://HOST:1433;DatabaseName=DATABASE
HOST in this case is most likely to be "localhost" since you are connecting on a local machine.
DATABASE will be the name of your database

Connect to remote MySQL server using Java

I'm writing a program to push stuff into a remote database. My database is stored on a redhat server, while my program is written on a windows machine.
I dont want to give out my server addresses but lets say my Linux server is xx.xx.xx.xx8
MySQL Workbench in windows says that my mysql server host is 127.0.0.1:3306
I know there are a million similar questions but each one is pretty unique to the situation.
I've been using http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/MySQLJava/article.html#javaconnection as a guide but this looks like a local connection.
I have also been referencing this but it confuses me.
Here's a mock up of some code i think may work:
Connection connection = null;
String dburl = "jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/Db_Name";
String userName = "user";
String passWord = "password";
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(dburl, userName, passWord);
Statement st = connection.createStatement();
String query = "INSERT INTO Example (`TestColumn`) VALUES('hello')";
int rsI = st.executeUpdate(query);
System.out.println("Hi");
}catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
} finally {
if (connection != null) {
try {
connection.close();
System.out.println("Database connection terminated");
} catch (Exception e) { /* ignore close errors */ }
}
}
that is based on the link i provided. All i changed was the address. I have no idea where the server address xx.xx.xx.xx8 should go.

In order to connect to the remote database you need to know the external ( or called public ) ip address of the server.
String dburl = "jdbc:mysql://85.65.85.222:3306/Db_Name"
Even if your database on server says it listens on localhost:3306, you can still connect to it using public ip with correct port. (providing you have sufficient access rights to the server)
Sometimes there may be situation that even if you know the remote server IP address you still won't be able to connect to remote database directly perhaps due to blocked port or other ACL issues ( and this is ofc applicable if you have no control over this). You could however create ssh tunnel to that server and create a port forward.
JSch jsch = new JSch();
Session session = jsch.getSession(user, host);
session.setPassword(password);
session.connect(timeout);
session.setPortForwardingL(listenPort, destHost, destPort);
example ssh connnection could look something like this:
ssh user#85.65.85.222 -Llocalhost:5050:127.0.0.1:3306 <- this will create a ssh tunnel with port forwarding, meaning on your local machine where you have your code and whole environment you will still be able to connect to remote database using
String dburl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:5050/dbname"

Just to clarify for anyone looking at this later...
localhost is always the machine you are sitting at - always. There is no way you will ever connect to a remote box using localhost. Also, the IP address 127.0.0.1 is equivalent to localhost, so don't use that either.
You may see that the database binds to localhost or 127.0.0.1 on the database server. That is ok. Use the IP address of the server running the database in your database connection URL
mysql:jdbc://<IPOfServer>:<PortOfServer>/<DbName>).
You can find the IP address of the server by running the following command on the database server...
Windows: ipconfig
Linux: ifconfig
Good luck!

You can see what documentation says:
The method DriverManager.getConnection establishes a database
connection. This method requires a database URL, which varies
depending on your DBMS. The following are some examples of database
URLs:
MySQL: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/, where localhost is the name of
the server hosting your database, and 3306 is the port number
So, for MySQL Connector/J Database URL
The following is the database connection URL syntax for MySQL Connector/J:
jdbc:mysql://[host][,failoverhost...]
[:port]/[database]
[?propertyName1][=propertyValue1]
[&propertyName2][=propertyValue2]...
Where:
host:port is the host name and port number of the computer hosting your database. If not specified, the default values of host and port are 127.0.0.1 and 3306, respectively. So, every operation you do will be applied on this post
database is the name of the database to connect to. If not specified, a connection is made with no default database.
failover is the name of a standby database (MySQL Connector/J supports failover).
propertyName=propertyValue represents an optional, ampersand-separated list of properties. These attributes enable you to instruct MySQL Connector/J to perform various tasks.
Update: if you have a remote databases (your remote server) that you want to access to, you should have for example:
String dburl = "jdbc:mysql://<REMOTE_HOST>:3306/Db_Name"; //replace with your remote host
... // here all the code related to your remote host
Note: if you remote server has in its configuration "localhost" you have to figure out its public ip address by executing ifconfig. Then use its ip address on your string. As important note your remote server must be configured to allow remote connections.

if you connect to a server (ie. with the ip xx.xx.xx.xx8) you specify through the port (which is usually 3306) that you want to connect to the databaseserver on that machine. so simply use:
String dburl = "jdbc:mysql://xx.xx.xx.xx8:3306/Db_Name";
as your connectionstring.
If you dont know the port, mysql is running, have a look in your /etc/mysql/my.cnf file. There should be the port specified.
Also have a look at your firewallrules if you can't connect and make sure you enabled remoteconnections (here is a good tutorial to enable it: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-enable-remote-access-to-mysql-database-server.html).

Connecting to external database through telnet

I have a java program that connects to a MS SQL database. The program works perfectly when running through eclipse however I get an error when I run it through AIX:
java.sql.SQLException: Network error IOException: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.
I can successfully ping the server but am not able to telnet into the server. I am also not able to telnet from my windows desktop.
I am using jtds to connect:
String connectionString = "jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://"+dropez_ip_address+"/"+dropez_db_name;
ResultSet rs = null;
Statement stmt = null;
try{
Class.forName("net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionString, dropez_db_username, dropez_db_password);
stmt = conn.createStatement();
}catch(Exception e){}
Here is some documentation from jTDS regarding the issue, but I am still not able to resolve the issue.
Why do I get java.sql.SQLException: "Network error IOException: Connection refused: connect" when trying to get a connection?
The "Connection refused" exception is thrown by jTDS when it is unable to connect to the server. There may be a number of reasons why this could happen:
- The server name is misspelled or the port number is incorrect.
- SQL Server is not configured to use TCP/IP. Either enable TCP/IP from SQL Server's Network Utility app or have jTDS connect via named pipes (see the URL format for information on how to do this).
- There is a firewall blocking port 1433 on the server.
To check whether TCP/IP is enabled and the port is not blocked you can use "telnet 1433". Until telnet doesn't connect, jTDS won't either. If you can't figure out why, ask your network administrator for help.

If you can't telnet on port 1433, you are blocked by a firewall somewhere in the middle between your machine and the server. That's not a java related problem.
May it be that when you say "it runs perfectly under eclipse but not AIX" you are taking about 2 different computers ? If so, the one with eclipse is not firewalled, the one where you deploy your app is blocked.
But again, nothing to do with java. It's a level 3 error (TCP layer) of TCP-IP model.

Your SQL Server database probably doesn't have the TCP/IP protocol enabled, to enable it:
From the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> Configuration Tools, open the 'Microsoft SQL Server Configuration Manager'.
Expand ‘SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration’, and then click ‘Protocols for ’.
Right-click ‘TCP/IP’ and then click ‘Enable’. The icon for the protocol will change to show that the protocol is enabled.
For SQL Server 2008:

Communication failure during handshake. Is there a MySQL server running on localhost:3306

i am using below code
try {
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/testdb","root","root"); // cust is the DSN Name
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception "+e);
}
got this exception during run time...
tried netstat -a in command prompt to check if mysql is running on port 3306 below is the trace...
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP user:epmap user:0 LISTENING
TCP user:microsoft-ds user:0 LISTENING
TCP user:3306 user:0 LISTENING

Well, googling your problem i have come to this solution:
Try reseting your user password executing the next statement at your mysql command line client:
SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'#'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('root');
As it seems it kind of changes the authentication method at the mysql server.
Let me know if this have worked.
Other option is to check the compatibility between the version of your MySQL database and the MySQL JDBC driver you are using.
