JDBC connections with Instanced database names in NG PRO
Can somebody explain how to configure a database connection for a database that is hosted on:
server\instanceName
In free version I could make a connection with ease, however in pro version I cannot do it so far.
jdbc:sqlserver://serverName;instanceName=sqlInstanceName;databaseName=XYZ;user=X;password=PASS_VALUE
using this exact same syntax in database configurator I get an error saying that it cannot connect.. and it also forces a port 1433 in the connection string
Also,
using old test cases with such syntax, I can connect to a database and all jdbc requests can be run, but trying to edit the said connections gives an error "Connection string does not match Connection URL template"
EDIT:
I've narrowed the problem to the connection configuration wizard forcing me to use a specific TCP/IP port for the instance to operate on, which we do not have set up and we use a dynamic address for that instance.
So the next question is, how do I circumvent the need of this software to force the port number in the connection string?
Mind you, without using the port, the connection can be established.. but I cannot configure environments and connection strings without it -.-
I've managed to solve the problem by changing the database connection template in Preferences -> JDBC Drivers section.
Driver:
MSSQL(MicrosoftDriver)/com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
Template:
jdbc:sqlserver://<HOST:127.0.0.1>;databaseName=<DB>;user=<USER>;password=<PASSWORD>
I just removed the <PORT:1433> section of the template and it allowed me to connect and set up my connections as I need them to.
