How to convert Azure DB URL to localhost DB URL?

I've got an Azure SQL Server database that I'm connecting to via JDBC, but want to connect instead to my SQL Server "localhost". In SSMS, I connect to localhost without needing a password. So, do I still need to enter a password in Java?
I have a code like this :
String connectionUrl =
"jdbc:sqlserver://etcetc.database.windows.net:1433;"
+ "database=med;"
+ "user=windersan#salemimed;"
+ "password=********;"
+ "encrypt=true;"
+ "trustServerCertificate=false;"
// + "hostNameInCertificate=*.database.windows.net;"
+ "loginTimeout=30;";
How do I change this to connect instead to localhost?

Just replace the etcetc.database.windows.net by localhost and replace the port number 1433 by the number that you are using.
I have used SQLServerDataSource class to make the work easier. You can also create a string URL and set it in the DriverManger.getConnection().
Try with this code :
SQLServerDataSource dataSource = new SQLServerDataSource();
dataSource.setUser("windersan#salemimed");
dataSource.setPassword("********");
dataSource.setServerName("localhost");
// set the port number of your system below.
dataSource.setPortNumber(1433);
dataSource.setDatabaseName("med");
dataSource.setEncrypt(true);
dataSource.setHostNameInCertificate("*.database.windows.net");
dataSource.setTrustServerCertificate(false);
Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection();
Please refer to this links down below for more info.
Microsoft Docs - ISQLServerDataSource Interface - This contains the list of methods that you can use to set the various properties in the datasource.
Microsoft Docs - How to work with the connection - This contains examples of the possible ways to connect to a SQL Server database.

the first line of your concatenated string contains the url etcetc.database.windows.net:1433 this is the location of the database server, and the bit you should change.
Also, it might be worth doing a google search on connecting to SqlServer with JDBC to see if there are any examples out there.

PGJDBC: could not receive data from client:

Dear StackOverFlowers,
I was trying event-driven LISTENER/NOTIFY on Postgres 9.6 (Windows 10).
I followed PGJDBC example given by Steve Taylor at https://www.openmakesoftware.com/postgresql-listen-notify-events-example/.
I started by downloading pgjdbc-ng-0.7-complete.jar and have put that in my CLASSPATH replacing standard JDBC driver.
When I am trying to connect to Postgres database using pgjdbc driver, I am getting an error:
connection received: host=127.0.0.1 port=50325
connection authorized: user=postgres database=scott
could not receive data from client: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Here are my system variables:
DBHost: localhost
DBName: scott
DBPort: 5432
DBUserName: postgres
DBPassword: postgres
I am not getting past the first hurdle, rest looks like Mount Everest. Please help me. Should you be needing the code, I am following Steve's code ditto.
Further to Joseph Larson's answer, the database is always running. I have connected to Postgres database from PGADMIN and Java successfully. I think issue is with the connect string. From Java when I am using standard JDBC which is provided by Postgres I am using URL like jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/dbname but PGJDBC suggests a different connect string like JDBC:PGSQL://localhost:5432/dbname. I tried to connect with that string (forcibly), it did not work. There is no method in PGJDBC PGDataSource for providing URL directly. I had to go through:
dataSource.setHost(DBHost);
dataSource.setPort(5432);
dataSource.setDatabase(DBName);
dataSource.setUser(DBUserName);
dataSource.setPassword(DBPassword);
And what URL it is sending to Database I am not able to figure out. Please suggest me a connect string and this problem is solved.
thanks
Thanks very much for asking me to post error messages:

This looks like the Windows locale bug in pgjbdc-ng. It has been addressed, try the latest version 0.8.1.
The latest releases have detailed documentation related to asynchronous notifications here.
If it still fails to execute on your Windows system, please create an issue here.

Did you actually start a database server? I didn't know PostgreSQL server could run on Windows, but I've never tried.
I would simplify your problem a little. I know nothing about psql on Windows, but on Mac, I would start the server and then use the psql command (it's part of PostgreSQL) to ensure the server was up and running.
If you're to connecting, then the problems can be:
-There is no server at all
-The server isn't running on the port you're attempting
-The server isn't listening for connections on host 127.0.0.1 but could be listening on the actual IP address of your machine
-I'm not sure about that particular error, but username, password, or database may not exist.
I'd use psql to figure out which of those possible reasons is the real problem. That isolates out your program as being part of the problem, and it becomes entirely one of managing your database server.

Hive JDBC connection problems

I am trying to connect to Hive2 server via JDBC with kerberos authentication. After numerous attempts to make it work, I can't get it to work with the Cloudera driver.
If someone can help me to solve the problem, I can greatly appreciate it.
I have this method:
private Connection establishConnection() {
final String driverPropertyClassName = "driver";
final String urlProperty = "url";
Properties hiveProperties = config.getMatchingProperties("hive.jdbc");
String driverClassName = (String) hiveProperties.remove(driverPropertyClassName);
String url = (String) hiveProperties.remove(urlProperty);
Configuration hadoopConfig = new Configuration();
hadoopConfig.set("hadoop.security.authentication", "Kerberos");
String p = config.getProperty("hadoop.core.site.path");
Path path = new Path(p);
hadoopConfig.addResource(path);
UserGroupInformation.setConfiguration(hadoopConfig);
Connection conn = null;
if (driverClassName != null) {
try {
UserGroupInformation.loginUserFromKeytab(config.getProperty("login.user"), config.getProperty("keytab.file"));
Driver driver = (Driver) Class.forName(driverClassName).newInstance();
DriverManager.registerDriver(driver);
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, hiveProperties);
} catch (Throwable e) {
LOG.error("Failed to establish Hive connection", e);
}
}
return conn;
}
URL for the server, that I am getting from the properties in the format described in Cloudera documentation
I am getting an exception:
2018-05-05 18:26:49 ERROR HiveReader:147 - Failed to establish Hive connection
java.sql.SQLException: [Cloudera][HiveJDBCDriver](500164) Error initialized or created transport for authentication: Peer indicated failure: Unsupported mechanism type PLAIN.
at com.cloudera.hiveserver2.hivecommon.api.HiveServer2ClientFactory.createTransport(Unknown Source)
at com.cloudera.hiveserver2.hivecommon.api.ZooKeeperEnabledExtendedHS2Factory.createClient(Unknown Source)
...
I thought, that it is missing AuthMech attribute and added AuthMech=1 to the URL. Now I am getting:
java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: [Cloudera][JDBC](10100) Connection Refused: [Cloudera][JDBC](11640) Required Connection Key(s): KrbHostFQDN, KrbServiceName; [Cloudera][JDBC](11480) Optional Connection Key(s): AsyncExecPollInterval, AutomaticColumnRename, CatalogSchemaSwitch, DecimalColumnScale, DefaultStringColumnLength, DelegationToken, DelegationUID, krbAuthType, KrbRealm, PreparedMetaLimitZero, RowsFetchedPerBlock, SocketTimeOut, ssl, StripCatalogName, transportMode, UseCustomTypeCoercionMap, UseNativeQuery, zk
at com.cloudera.hiveserver2.exceptions.ExceptionConverter.toSQLException(Unknown Source)
at com.cloudera.hiveserver2.jdbc.common.BaseConnectionFactory.checkResponseMap(Unknown Source)
...
But KrbHostFQDN is already specified in the principal property as required in the documentation.
Am I missing something or is this documentation wrong?

Below is the one of the similar kind of problem statement in Impala (just JDBC engine changes others are same) that is resolved by setting "KrbHostFQDN" related properties in JDBC connection string itself.
Try to use the URL below. Hopefully works for u.
String jdbcConnStr = "jdbc:impala://myserver.mycompany.corp:21050/default;SSL=1;AuthMech=1;KrbHostFQDN=myserver.mycompany.corp;KrbRealm=MYCOMPANY.CORP;KrbServiceName=impala"
I suppose that if you are not using SSL=1 but only Kerberos, you just drop that part from the connection string and don't worry about setting up SSL certificates in the java key store, which is yet another hassle.
However in order to get Kerberos to work properly we did the following:
Install MIT Kerberos 4.0.1, which is a kerberos ticket manager. (This is for Windows)
This ticket manager asks you for authentication every time you initiate a connection, creates a ticket and stores it in a kerberos_ticket.dat binary file, whose location can be configured somehow but I do not recall exactly how.
Finally, before launching your JAVA app you have to set an environment variable KRB5CCNAME=C:/path/to/kerberos_ticket.dat. In your java app, you can check that the variable was correctly set by doing System.out.println( "KRB5CCNAME = " + System.getenv( "KRB5CCNAME" ) ). If you are working with eclipse or other IDE you might even have to close the IDE,set up the environment variable and start the IDE again.
NOTE: this last bit is very important, I have observed that if this variable is not properly set up, the connection wont be established...
In Linux, instead MIT Kerberos 4.0.1, there is a program called kinit which does the same thing, although without a graphical interface, which is even more convenient for automation.

I wanted to put it in the comment but it was too long for the comment, therefore I am placing it here:
I tried your suggestion and got another exception:
java.sql.SQLException: [Cloudera]HiveJDBCDriver Error
creating login context using ticket cache: Unable to obtain Principal
Name for authentication .
May be my problem is, that I do not have environment variable KRB5CCNAME set.
I, honestly, never heard about it before.
What is supposed to be in that ticket file.
I do have, however, following line in my main method:
System.setProperty("java.security.krb5.conf", "path/to/krb5.conf");
Which is supposed to be used by
UserGroupInformation.loginUserFromKeytab(config.getProperty("login.user"), config.getProperty("keytab.file"));
to obtain the kerberos ticket.

To solve this issue update Java Cryptography Extension for the Java version that you use in your system.
Here's the link when you can download JCE for Java 1.7
Uncompress and overwrite those files in $JDK_HOME/jre/lib/security
Restart your computer.

Connecto to SQL Server with c# and JDBC

I have this program in java to connect to a SQL Server
server = "ZF-SQL-MTRAZDB.NIS.LOCAL"
dbName = "MRAZ"
nameBaseDatos = "CD_LO"
table = "dbo.CD_LO_DATA"
user = "user"
password = "Pass"
url = "jdbc:sqlserver//"+ server + "\\" + dbName + "jdatabaseName=" + nameBaseDatos
driver = "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc_SQLServerDriver"
Now I have to do the same with Visual C# 2010 in Windows XP
How can I do this program?? Because in java use JDBC, Should I also use JDBC?
Thanks for all!

The ConnectionString is similar to an OLE DB connection string, but is not identical. Unlike OLE DB or ADO, the connection string that is returned is the same as the user-set ConnectionString, minus security information if the Persist Security Info value is set to false (default). The .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server does not persist or return the password in a connection string unless you set Persist Security Info to true.
You can use the ConnectionString property to connect to a database. The following example illustrates a typical connection string.
"Persist Security Info=False;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=Northwind;server=(local)"
Use the new SqlConnectionStringBuilder to construct valid connection strings at run time.
private static void OpenSqlConnection()
{
string connectionString = GetConnectionString();
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection())
{
connection.ConnectionString = connectionString;
connection.Open();
Console.WriteLine("State: {0}", connection.State);
Console.WriteLine("ConnectionString: {0}",
connection.ConnectionString);
}
}
static private string GetConnectionString()
{
// To avoid storing the connection string in your code,
// you can retrieve it from a configuration file.
return "Data Source=MSSQL1;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;"
+ "Integrated Security=true;";
}
Data Source or Server orAddressorAddrorNetwork Address
: The name or network address of the instance of SQL Server to which
to connect. The port number can be specified after the server name :
server=tcp:servername, portnumber`
The Initial Catalog or Database : The name of the database. The database name can be 128 characters or less.
The Integrated Security or Trusted_Connection : When false, User ID and Password are specified in the connection. When true, the current Windows account credentials are used for authentication. Recognized values are true, false, yes, no, and sspi (strongly recommended), which is equivalent to true. If User ID and Password are specified and Integrated Security is set to true, the User ID and Password will be ignored and Integrated Security will be used.
and other items
I hope this help you :) .

msSQL jdbc .. I connected to the server but how to connect to use a specific databaseName

Last time I used SQL with Java/Eclipse I had a SQL script linked to the Project.
This time, I connected to a different server using jdbc format (not localhost) and it connects correctly.
Now I need to get into this specific database named WInfo but I don't know how to do that.
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://serverName:1433/;user=UserName;password=******;");

Use below connection string:
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://SERVERNAME:PORTNO;databaseName=DATABASENAME;
user=MyUserName;password=*****");
OR
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://SERVERNAME:PORTNO;databaseName=DATABASENAME",
MyUserName, MyPassword);
