I am trying to establish connection between my application in C# and MySQL. I have downloaded .NET connector from MySql website.
I have installed MySQL server with TYPO3 winstaller, and it is running properly.
Here is my code:
MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection("Server=localhost:8501;Database=drogy;Uid=root;Pwd=;");
con.Open();
It says that: Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts.
In PHPMyAdmin I see host as localhost:8501. I am sure that user root has password set to NO and I am also pretty sure about the database name. How can I do this please? Thank you
you should not mention the password if maybe its should be empty means use the ' ' single quotes in you code.
And you should remove the ; in after the password like ot;Pwd=;"); you should change like ot;Pwd=");
if your not add the connector, first of all you should must add the MySQL Connector.
sample code:
"server=localhost:portno; user id=yourusername; password=yourpassword; database=yourdatabasename"
update:1
All had happend after moving database files to new location and after updating mysql server. All tables with InnoDB engine disappeared from my database. I was trying to recreate them, but mysql told me 1146: Table 'xxx' doesn't exist all the time until I had recreated my database and restarted mysql service.
I think there's a need to read about InnoDB table binaries.
click here : 1
*Pwd=;"*Required your database password
In the password field give your password and try it.. it will work

I have a problem I need to solve, but not know how exactly. I have a WinForms application (C#) which connects to an online MySQL server - no problem there. In this application I have an option to make database backups (basically I dump this database to a local file on a computer).
I would like to locally "open" this backup on client's computer (to check some old data) - I don't want to make database restore on my server, because database must still be in use for other users. I want to make clean install of MySQL on a local computer and connect to it trough localhost (like I do for testing ), but I do not have physical access to that computer. I can send MySQL installer to my client, but how to go about automatically creating user with password and database from my dump file?
I know how to create a new database if it doesn't exist, but how to do it if it's clean install of MySQL server - no user and password yet.
string connStr = "server=localhost;user=root;port=3306;password=????;";
using (var conn = new MySqlConnection(connStr))
using (var cmd = conn.CreateCommand())
{
conn.Open();
cmd.CommandText = "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `hello`;";
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
Any help and direction is appreciated.
Regards!
I don't know whether I understand your problem. However,if you install a new Mysql，you can use root user through no database.
Anyway, one thing you need to know,Connect database must has user and password for mysql or sqlserver.
You may need to be more concise description of your problem.
After a few years, I have returned to writing in C# and I am really struggling here - I would like to have my app to have a local SQL database. I have added Service-based database and "Database1.mdf" was added to my project. I created a table and added some data just to see if it is working but I cannot connect to it. I tried numerous connection strings with no success (Server not accessible).
Do I need to run something else in the background? I thought that I might have a local database and with .NET client I can access it, and I hoped it would work whenever I bring my application (also not requiring any SQL server running). Is that wrong?
If you don't require any SQL server, take a look at SQLite. This is lite SQL database engine. Database is just one file. C# has a great library to SQLite on NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/profiles/mistachkin
SQLite is widely used, event in Android (as a native db engine).
here is what i use to connect. it appears as a Data Connection in Server Explorer.
string con2 = #"Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=" + Application.StartupPath + "\\jobfile_2017.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30";
when i first started working with these, i used this source 1
it works on PC's that i have nothing installed (not even office) but as i said i'd be interested to know of any shortcomings of this method
I experiencing same problem and decided to move mdf file to static c:\db directory. Connection string was changed to incorporate new file location (AttachDbFile).
But AttachDbFile has some issues also (by some reason one table in db is inaccesible and error is access denied).
So I decided to move to Sqlite. LocalDb has many issues to work with. I read good note to resolve problem: in command line stop/remove/start name of instance. But it nuissance.
Wish you good luck to work with these db files.
I have a windows application in C#, my connection string is:
and my database is in SQL Server 2008 R2.
but when I installed my program I receive This error:
Please help me I don't know how to solve this
As I guessed, you are (attaching is) creating a new database.
You are facing this problem because there is already a database in that server with the same Db name and primary file name. This is probably (mostly) due to adding the Db twice.
Please open SQL-Server Management Studio, and check the already existing Db of name IcuProject. If it's the same Db that you wanted to attach, then skip attaching part or delete the current db from server and try attaching it again.
As a best practice, if you are attaching a db thru application, then make sure that no db with same name already exists in the server. or best, ask user to enter a Db name so that you won't get a name conflict.
How can I connect my Trgovina.mdf with dataGridView?
I follow this tutorial, but it seems that program doesn't find my database.
Connection string looks like that:
string connString = #"Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=C:\Users\Klemen\documents\visual studio 2012\Projects\Trgovina\Trgovina\Trgovina.mdf;Integrated Security=True";
Everything else is the same as tutorial example.
Error string is An OLE DB Provider was not specified in the ConnectionString. An example would be, 'Provider=SQLOLEDB;'
Full code looks like this.
The tutorial you talk about in your question use an Access Database and thus uses the OleDB engine to reach and work with the database. Instead your connection string use the syntax reserved for SQLServer LocalDB.
You should change your objects to SqlConnection (instead of OleDbConnection), SqlCommand (instead of OleDbCommand) and so on...
With these changes you should be able to connect to the automatic instance of SqlServer LocalDB. The rest of the tutorial could work or not, depending on what is present in the MDF file used.
You trying to connect to database .mdf file, but you have a wrong provider.
An MDF is a Microsoft SQL Server database not a Jet Database like
Access (*.mdb). You cannot just connect to the flat file and read it.
You would need to mount the database in an instance of SQL Server.
You could install SQL Server 2005 Express
Source
Note: Just download MS SQL Server 2005 Express or later and you must use the System.Data.SqlClient instead of OLE DB to solve your problem.
I am a beginner in working with databases. I am trying to access Oracle10g database from a c# application. But when I do so i get this error:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
I'm using the following code:
string oradb = "Data Source=ORCL;User Id=system;Password=goodbye;";
OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection(oradb); // C#
conn.Open();
Is there an error in the connection string oradb?
Start the Visual Studio, open View menu + Server Explorer.
Right mouse click on Data Connection + Add Connection + Select Oracle Database
server Name : localhost or name of your machine, set username & password and click on Test Connection to verify the above parameters. Press OK if test is succeeds.
From properties windows you can obtain connection String and it should be look a like:
Data Source=localhost;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=scott;Password=***********;Unicode=True
Oracle is just stating that it can't find the database.
If you're running a local Express Edition database, you should be able to just use XE as an instance name, and everything should already be set up, otherwise you can most easily add it to tnsnames.ora.
To find the correct tnsnames.ora to change, you can try (from the command prompt)
tnsping ORCL
That will tell you which files Oracle is using to try to find the database. If tnsping is an unknown command, you may have to search for it and go to the correct place before running it.
One you found the correct tnsnames.ora, you need to add the instance ORCL to it. There should be an existing file with examples, the syntax of that file is too complex to answer here, if you need help, Oracle has quite extensive documentation.
This is a very common oracle error. Simply put, it means that you have named the database you wish to be connected to and Oracle doesn’t know who the heck you’re talking about. I suggest 6 Steps to fix ORA-12154:
Check instance name has been entered correctly in tnsnames.ora.
There should be no control characters at the end of the instance or database name.
All paranthesis around the TNS entry should be properly terminated
Domain name entry in sqlnet.ora should not be conflicting with full database name.
If problem still persists, try to re-create TNS entry in tnsnames.ora.
At last you may add new entries using the SQL*Net Easy configuration utility.
