Connecting to MSSQL 2008 from Java
- by Xinus
I am trying to connect to MSSQL 2008 server from Java
here is a program
import java.sql.*;
public class connectURL {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a variable for the connection string.
String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost/SQLEXPRESS/Databases/HelloWorld:1433;";// +
//"databaseName=HelloWorld;integratedSecurity=true;";
// Declare the JDBC objects.
Connection con = null;
Statement stmt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
try {
// Establish the connection.
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
// Create and execute an SQL statement that returns some data.
String SQL = "SELECT TOP 10 * FROM Person.Contact";
stmt = con.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery(SQL);
// Iterate through the data in the result set and display it.
while (rs.next()) {
System.out.println(rs.getString(4) + " " + rs.getString(6));
}
}
// Handle any errors that may have occurred.
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
if (rs != null) try { rs.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}
if (stmt != null) try { stmt.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}
if (con != null) try { con.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}
}
}
}
But it shows error as
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The TCP/IP connection to the host localhost/SQLEXPRESS/Databases/HelloWorld, port 1433 has failed. Error: "null. Verify the connection properties, check that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port, and that no firewall is blocking TCP connections to the port.".

I have given followed all the instructions as given in http://teamtutorials.com/database-tutorials/configuring-and-creating-a-database-in-ms-sql-2008
What can be the problem ?
