JPA tools will not connect to SQL Server

I am trying to connect to a database on my localhost machine from Eclipse using the JPA tools. I have been unable to achieve this so far. I want to create a JPA project and create the model from the tables that I have already created on the database. I do not seem to be able to get the connection string correct.
firstly I seem completely unable to create a SQL Server connection profile. Once I get to the second screen no options available that allow me to progress past it to completion. Found a thread on here that claimed this is a bug and I should use the generic driver instead. So this is what I tried.
I thought that the port number was 1433 and I have tried that but no change. I have also taken off the (localdb) part as the error message referenced it. Message remains the same.
Error Message
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The connection to the host (localdb), named instance mssqllocaldb failed. Error: "java.net.UnknownHostException: (localdb)". 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 got the connection string from Visual studio as that is how I created the tables.
Data Source=(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB;Initial Catalog=IdpValidate;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;Encrypt=False;TrustServerCertificate=True;ApplicationIntent=ReadWrite;MultiSubnetFailover=False
I have checked the firewall on my machine but Eclipse is in there and I can connect no problems from Visual Studio so it can't be that (can it).
SQL Server Agent and SQL Server Browser are both on (again I can connect from elsewhere; mssms, vs, linqpad etc) Please help this is driving me mad!
I have also created a login and user (LetMeIn) but at the moment this is not making a diffrence as using my computer account can't connect through Eclsipe either.

It turns out I have two sql servers installed on my machine and I was trying to connect to the wrong one. :(

Connect Metabase to Sql Server

I installed Java on my Windows 10 machine and downloaded Metabase.jar, and ran it.
Now I could access metabase at localhost:3000
But I'm unable to setup my SQL Server Database as Data reference.
I'm either getting:
Couldn't connect to the database. Please check the connection details.
or
Timed out after 5000 milliseconds.
Anyone who has done Metabase - SQL Server connection successfully?

Currently, as of Metabase version 0.30.x the answer depends on if you can use a user configured directly on SQL Server or not:
The easier option to setup is with a user configured directly on SQL Server. Then config is just Name: (anything), Host: (full name), Database Name, Username, Password as you would expect. (I believe you should NOT fill in the Windows domain).
On Windows only you can also use native integrated authentication with sqljdbc_auth.dll, just specify integratedSecurity=true connection property (and optionally authenticationScheme=NativeAuthentication). I found if I dropped the x64 sqljdbc_auth.dll in my <java path>\jre\bin folder it was picked up. Metabase config as in the screenshot below, apart from dropping authenticationScheme=JavaKerberos
The cross platform authenticationScheme=JavaKerberos option to use Windows Authentication with a domain user is still doable, but harder. It's these steps:
Create a krb.conf and verify login works with <Java path>\bin\kinit.exe [user]. Here's a template edited to match the Metabase database setup in the screenshot below.
Start the Metabase.jar file with parameters to load the krb.conf. It works for me with java -Djava.security.krb5.conf=c:/<path>/kerberos/krb.conf -jar metabase.jar.
Now configure the database settings in Metabase according to the screenshot below
Moment of truth! ...
Optional: Still not working? Maybe your SQL Server isn't configured for Kerberos? Maybe you need SPN setup? Maybe you need to specify a java.security.auth.login.config (I have not experienced any of that myself, only thing I can offer is you scroll to the bottom of this post and dive in then edit your question with where you got to and what config you have)
Metabase SQL Server setup using Kerberos:
For background, current (August 2018) very long :| sum up with lots of links of how to connect to SQL Server is here in a Metabase discussion topic Note: In v0.30.0 an issue with dynamic port handling (particularly for people using named instances) was fixed.
Related: A neat StackOverflow answer on Kerberos on a Mac

If you are connecting to a "Named Instance" ({SERVER_NAME}/{INSTANCE_NAME}) instead of "Default Instance" ({SERVER_NAME}), your server may be configured to use Dynamic Port.
A quick dirty fix is you can find the current port with below scripts and then use it on Metabase connection parameters. But this port most probably will change when service restart occurs.
SELECT DISTINCT
local_tcp_port
FROM sys.dm_exec_connections
WHERE local_tcp_port IS NOT NULL
or
USE master
GO
Xp_readerrorlog
(look for "Server is listening on ..." line)
A Cleaner way is setting port for your instance by "SQL Server Configuration Manager" - "SQL Server Network Configuration" - "TCP/IP" - Right Click properties - "TCP Dynamic Ports" (There should be 0 and it should be deleted) and "TCP Port" (New default port should be set here). And also "SQL Server Browser" service should run. A more detailed explanation is here

jdbc.SQLServerException: Login failed for user for any user

I trying to test the connection with my local sql DB. I have this code:
try{
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver").newInstance();
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=SocialFamilyTree;user=SOSCOMP");
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Couldn't get database connection.");
e.printStackTrace();
}
I tried many users. my windows user is SOSCOMP and doesn't have a password. I also know that SQL 2008 create users as "sys" "dbo", I tried these too. I'm always getting:
Couldn't get database connection.

If you try to connect with database which is using windows authentication, you can use 'integratedSecurity' option in your connection string.
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=SocialFamilyTree;integratedSecurity=true;");

Having been through this very recently the steps I took to solve pretty much the same problem were
use SQL Server Management Studio to log in with the desired account and confirm access to read (and write if necessary)
Use SQL Server Configuration Manager to confirm that the server instance is listening on the IP address being targetted
Disable the firewall to check that isn't getting in the way (and add an exception if necessary for future use)
The absolute kicker for me was understanding what IP addresses and ports the instance was set to listen on so that when I constructed the connection string the connection wasn't being rejected.
Also, if you want to connect using Windows logins you need to ensure the SQL instance is configured for mixed mode authentication (i.e. to allow Windows and SQL logins)

Since you get this error,the Sql server correctly listens to the port.
Open Sql Server Management Studio connect to your Server.
right click on the server's icon and choose properties.
Go to the security tab and tick Sql Server and Windows
Authentication mode.
If you want to define a user,go from the tree, to Security->Logins,right click on logins folder and click "New Login".
Now your server should work with this Url String.
Use the log file of the Server that may help you understand its working.

Re: Did it. still WARNING: Failed to load the sqljdbc_auth.dll cause :- no sqljdbc_auth in java.library.path – Mike Oct 7 at 14:03
you have to add the path to sqljdbc_auth.dll by adding this under VM arguments in Eclipse or commandline if you're running from the shell:
-Djava.library.path="\MS SQL Server JDBC Driver 3.0\sqljdbc_3.0\enu\auth\x86"
that's if you're running 32 bit Windows. else the final subdir changes accordingly.
I think this might be a better answer though, to setting up SQL Server user based authentication:
Connecting SQL Server 2008 to Java: Login failed for user error
(I try to summarize it here: http://silveira.wikidot.com/sql-server)

I also faced the same issue, In my case the following things are configured wrongly
Two SQL (versions) servers are running in my system --> Sol: Please check ourselves which server we are pointing.
Ports are configured as dynamic --> Sol: we should set port 1433 and dynamic port should be 0, if we are connected to specific port.
While creating the new login (user) I have selected the option " change password after first login "--> Sol: we should not select this option while creating the new login, if we are trying connecting from some other service like Openfire.

H2 database error: Database may be already in use: "Locked by another process"

I am trying to use the H2 database from a Java application.
I created the database and its tables through the H2 Console and then I try to connect from Java using
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:h2:~/dbname", "username", "password");
However I receive the following error:
Exception in thread "main" org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLException: Database may be already in use: "Locked by another process". Possible solutions: close all other connection(s); use the server mode [90020-161]
I tried to delete the dbname.lock.db file but it is automatically re-created.
How can I unlock the database to use it from my Java program?

H2 is still running (I can guarantee it). You need to use a TCP connection for multiple users such as ->
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/C:\Database\Data\production;"/>
OR
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/server~/dbname","username","password");
It also means you need to start the server in TCP mode. Honesetly, it is pretty straight forward in the documentation.
Force kill the process (javaw.exe for Windows), and make sure that any application that might have started it is shut down. You have an active lock.

I had the same problem.
in Intellj, when i want to use h2 database when my program was running i got the same error.
For solve this problem i changed the connection url from
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:file:~/ipinbarbot
to:
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:~/ipinbarbot;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE
And then my problem gone away. now i can connect to "ipinbarbot" database when my program is.
If you use Hibernate, also don't forget to have:
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = update
goodluck

I'm using h2db with a test T24 tafj application, I had the same problem but I managed to resolve it by identifying the application that is running h2 (launched when I attempted to setup a database connection).
ps aux|grep java
will give output as:
sysadmin 22755 3.2 0.1 5189724 64008 pts/3 Sl 08:28 0:00 /usr/java/default/bin/java -server -Xmx2048M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -cp h2-1.3.175.jar:/r14tafj/TAFJ/dbscripts/h2/TAFJFunctions.jar org.h2.tools.Server -tcp -tcpAllowOthers -baseDir /r14tafj/t24/data
now kill this with its process id:
kill -9 22755
and at last remove the lock file:
rm -f dbname.lock.db

I got clue from Saman Salehi above.
My usecase:
Preparing REST application for client-side load balancing(running two JVM instances of REST). Here my MVC application will call this REST application that has ActiveMQ backend for DATA.
I had the problem when I ran two instances of REST application in eclipse and trying to run both instances at the same time with the following configuration
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:file:./Database;
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=update
After adding DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:file:./Database;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE
Both instances are running and showing in Eureka dasboard.
Don't close the database when the VM exits : jdbc:h2:;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE
Multiple processes can access the same database without having to start the server manually ;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE
Further reading:
http://www.h2database.com/html/features.html

You can also visit the "Preferences" tab from the H2 Console and shutdown all active sessions by pressing the shutdown button.

Simple step: Go to the task manager and kill the java process
then start your apllication

You can also delete file of the h2 file database and problem will disappear.
jdbc:h2:~/dbname means that file h2 database with name db name will be created in the user home directory(~/ means user home directory, I hope you work on Linux).
In my local machine its present in: /home/jack/dbname.mv.db I don't know why file has a name dbname.mv.db instead a dbname.
May be its a h2 default settings.
I remove this file:
rm ~/dbname.mv.db
OR:
cd ~/
rm dbname.mv.db
Database dbname will be removed with all data. After new data base init all will be ok.

If you are running same app into multiple ports where app uses single database (h2), then add AUTO_SERVER=TRUE in the url as follows:
jdbc:h2:file:C:/simple-commerce/price;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE;AUTO_RECONNECT=TRUE;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE

I ran into similar problems running with ORMLite from a web application. I initially got stuck on the syntax to use server mode in the url. The answers above helped with that. Then I had the similar user/password error which was easier to figure out. I did not have to shut anything down or erase any files. The following code worked:
protected ConnectionSource getConnectionSource() throws SQLException {
String databaseUrl = "jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/~/test";
return new JdbcConnectionSource(databaseUrl,"sa","sa");
}
To use H2 in server mode on wildfly, I Modifed connection-url in standalone.xml
<datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS" pool- name="ExampleDS" enabled="true" use-java-context="true">
<connection-url>jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/~/test</connection-url>
…
</datasource>

Identify the H2 process id and kill it. For mac
ps -ef|grep h2
Then get the process id and kill it.
kill -9 PID

According H2 Database Tutorial you can run the H2 Database in three different modes:
Server mode:
jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/~/test
When using H2 db in server mode (also known as client/server mode) all data is transferred over TCP/IP. Before application can use H2 Database in server mode, you need to start the H2 DB within the same or another machine.
Embedded mode:
jdbc:h2:~/test
H2 db in embedded mode will be faster but the downside of it is that no other process can access the Database. In the above connection string, the Data will be saved into the ‘test’ folder, under the user’s home directory.
Mixed mode:
The mixed mode combines some features of the embedded and the server mode. The first application connecting to the H2 db does that in embedded mode, but at the same time it starts a server so that other applications can concurrently access the same data, even from different processes.
jdbc:h2:/data/test;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE
When using automatic mixed mode, you can share the JDBC URL for all applications using the DB. By default the server uses any free TCP port. The port can be set manually using AUTO_SERVER_PORT=9090.

Ran into a similar issue the solution for me was to run fuser -k 'filename.db' on the file that had a lock associated with it.
Hope this helps!

I was facing this issue in eclipse . What I did was, killed the running java process from the task manager.
It worked for me.

In your application.properties file > edit the datasource into:
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:file:C:/temp/test;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE
Happy coding!

answer for this question => Exception in thread "main" org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLException: Database may be already in use: "Locked by another process". Possible solutions: close all other connection(s); use the server mode [90020-161]
close all tab from your browser where open h2 database also Exit h2 engine from your pc

For InteliJ: right lick on your database in the database view and choose "Disconnect".

I tried to delete the dbname.lock.db file but it is automatically re-created.
How can I unlock the database to use it from my Java program?
Just add FILE_LOCK=NO;. FILE_LOCK=NO doesn't make dbname.lock.db.
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:file:./testdb/h2;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=false;FILE_LOCK=NO;
The detail for FILE_LOCK reference this.
Using the method NO forces the database to not create a lock file at all

How to run a HSQLDB server in memory-only mode

In the documentation of the HSQLDB is a command line statement to start a HSQLDB server (HSQLDB Doc). But there is this "file:mydb" property, so I assume its not in memory-only mode.
How do I run a memory-only HSQLDB server?
I ran the following but get no clue.
java -cp ../lib/hsqldb.jar org.hsqldb.Server -?

It took around 2 days for me to figure out on how to start a server in-memory and then access from outside. Hope this will save someone's time.
Server server = new Server();
server.setDatabaseName(0, "mainDb");
server.setDatabasePath(0, "mem:mainDb");
server.setDatabaseName(1, "standbyDb");
server.setDatabasePath(1, "mem:standbyDb");
server.setPort(9001); // this is the default port
server.start();
When you have to access the in-memory database for any CRUD, here is what you need to do :-
String url="jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://192.168.5.1:9001/mainDb";
Class.forName("org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "SA", "");
where 192.168.5.1 is the server ip where HSQL is running. To connect to the standbyDb, replace mainDb with standbyDb in the first line. Once you get the connection, you can perform all database related operations.
To connect to the server from remote using DatabaseManagerSwing, here is what you need to do.
Download hsqldb-x.x.x jar and copy it to a folder (x.x.x is the version)
open a terminal or command prompt and cd to the folder and run
java -cp hsqldb-x.x.x.jar org.hsqldb.util.DatabaseManagerSwing
Select "HSQL Database Engine Server" from the Type drop down and give "jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://192.168.5.1:9001/mainDb" as the URL. This will connect you to the remote HSQL in-memory Server instance.
Happy Coding !!
DbManagerSwing UI

use java -cp .\hsqldb-1.8.0.10.jar org.hsqldb.Server -database.0 mem:aname
In memory mode is specified by the connection url - so if you want, you can just have a server.properties file in the same directory, and set the connection url to use the mem protocol - or if you are using hsqldb in another application that allows you to specify the connection url such as jdbc, specify jdbc:hsqldb:mem:aname.

I believe the file is used to load up the db into memory, and then persist when Server stops. I don't think the file is accessed while you're running.
It's been awhile since I've used HSQLDB (or H2), but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.
