Nativ Connect to MS SQL Server from PowerBuilder
Hi! I would like to know if there is a database interface that provide native connection to Microsoft SQL Server 2000 I use Power Builder Entreprise7.0.3. And if there is one from where do i get it? Thanks OLE DB is now the preferred native interface (replacing MSS). I don't know how reliable it is in the version you are using. You can also use ODBC which should supports features not supported in MSS (var/char columns > 255 characters in length). If you did not already install them, you need to rerun the install program and select them from the appropriate dialog (ii...

PB6.5 connect MS SQL 2005 using native driver (DBMS=MSS (Msoft) SQL Server 6.0)
Is it possible PB 6.5 using "DBMS=MSS (Msoft) SQL Server 6.0" to connect MS SQL 2005? The existing application is PB6.5 using "DBMS=MSS (Msoft) SQL Server 6.0" to connect MS SQL 2000. It is work fine. John Hi John; AFAIK .. it should work. The only restrictions would be 1) PB 6.5 will not understand SS2005 functionality. You will be restricted to the SS 6.0 (as you are today with SS2000) feature set. 2) The MSS setting connects using the NTDBLIB.dll from MS. I do not believe that this is supplied with SS2005. So you will need to install the SS20...

Powerbuilder 9
Hi, I am trying to get connected to Microsoft SQL server 2000 using SSL, through the native driver (MSS (Msoft) SQL Server 6.0). Unfortunately, the code I am supporting is such that I can't change to ODBC or OLEDB easily. Is there a way to set the native driver to communicate using SSL? I tried DBPARM=Encrypt=1 and many other similar combinations, but no luck so far. Thanks, Brian ...

Powerbuilder convert varchar(4000) in MS Sql Server to char(255)?
Hi, In MS SQL server, I have created a table with one of the columns being varchar(4000). But when I tried to new a datawindow based on this table, the column specification of the varchar(4000) type column was converted to char(255). This same problem occurs in Powerbuilder 6.5 and 8 alike. Some connect parameters need to be specified? And how? Thanx. You are using the MSS interface which has not been enhanced since SQL Server 6.5 where char(255) was the maximum. Starting in MS SQL Server 7, OLEDB is the native interface. As an alternative, use TEXT as the datatype. /ck "bisque" <bisque88@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:E1416A58C5EC4B6E001057EA85256BDF.001057F785256BDF@webforums... > Hi, > > In MS SQL server, I have created a table with one of the columns being > varchar(4000).

And how? > > Thanx. Sounds like you're using the native (MSS) driver, which is based on DB-LIB, which Microsoft aren't upgrading beyond SQL6.5 functionality. To use the new SQL7/2000 functionality (eg long varchar columns) you need to connect using ODBC (unreliable IME) or OLEDB (not available with PB6 but works OK with PB8). Or a...

How to set database profile to PowerBuilder 10.5 connect to MS-SQL Server 2000 sp4?
Hi: How to set database profile to PowerBuilder 10.5 connect to MS-SQL Server 2000 sp4? It seems that the special connection inferface for "MSS Microsoft SQL Server" is canceled in PowerBuilder 10.5. I do not want to via ODBC. Thanks! Wu; No, MSS driver (actually Microsoft's NTDBLIB.dll) was cancelled by Bill Gates in SQLServer v7. It was supported in 2000 - but ANSI only with limited functionality and dropped for SS2000 and 2005 in the Unicode world. So your choices are: ODBC, OLE-DB and ADO.net. There is new SNC driver for PB 11 that is simil...

How do i upgrade PowerBuilder 5.0's native driver for MS SQL Server 6.5?
If you have the 5.0.04 patches, you have the latest stuff that I know of. Tech Support might have something as a private EBF, but you would have to contact them directly to determine that.

Considerations converting powerbuilder connection from the native sql server connection to OLE DB
We have an application which was upgraded from PB8.0.3 to PB9 (original build) . The application formerly used sql servers native connection. The application is now coded to use OLEDB. We are running into minor issues that were not present with the native connection. Example: you have a stored procedure called "sp_test" that has one argument, @dummy. We would normally execute the procedure like this: EXEC sp_test 'test_value' ^ But when using OLE-DB, you have to include the parameter name, like this: EXEC sp_test @dummy='test_value' ^ Now we ...

PowerBuilder Informix connectivity using native driver
Hi All, Please help us if any one using Powerbuilder informix. The problem is when we connect to database using database profile through PowerBuilder every thing on front end appears fine and we can do all the sql's, but on the back end the database session is showing 'not wait' mode and the sql code is -255. What's interesting? Is that every sql executed from powerbuilder is getting new session and all the sessions are going to no wait mode, because of this problem we are running out of sessions on database side. We have a temporary fix by killing the -255 s...

Connecting to MS Sql server 2000 thru PowerBuilder 5.0
We're connecting to MS Sql server 6.5 from PowerBuilder 5.0 using a Native driver. We want to upgrade to MS Sql server 2000. Does the native driver in PB 5.0 for MS Sql Server 6.5 support MS Sql server 2000 also ?? If not , whether Sybase provide a native driver to connect MS Sql server 2000 from PB 5.0 ?? Thanks & Regards, Ravi. No, neither SQL7 nor SQL2000 is supported from PB5. Some people have got SQL7 to work (don't know about 2000), but mostly it won't, certainly for us it wouldn't. The best thing to do is try it and see whether you get problems w...
