[Solved] [JDBC] Cannot connect to a MS SQL database

Hello. I'm having issues connecting to a MS SQL database with JDBC. I went to the JDBC drivers page and saw that there isn't a download link for MS SQL driver. So I went to the Microsoft website and ...
JDBC
MSSQL

    The driver is missing an r at the end (again the JDBC Driver List page is wrong) and you don't need MSSQL(MicrosoftDriver)/ at the start.
    Try
    com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver

    Also copy sqljdbc4.jar to C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.2.1\bin\ext

Hello.

 

I have the same problem and I still could not solve it. Maybe you can help me.

 

1) I have downloaded Microsoft JDBC Driver 6.0 for SQL Server.

2) From this folder I took file sqljdbc.jar and copy paste it to the folders 

C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.2.1\bin\ext

and

C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.2.1\lib

3) I configured my JDBC step as

Driver

MSSQL(MicrosoftDriver)/com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDrive

 

Connection String

jdbc:sqlserver://localhost\sqlexpress;databaseName=DataVision;user=admin;password=admin

 

After check connection I see the error as you

 

com.eviware.soapui.support.SoapUIException: Failed to init connection for driver [MSSQL(MicrosoftDriver)/com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDrive], connectionString [jdbc:sqlserver://localhost\sqlexpress;databaseName=DataVision;user=admin;password=admin]

 

 

this is scr with my example

Could you please push me to the right may. 

Thx in advance.

    I'll try for sure.

     

    This is the current configuration for my JDBC step:

     

    - Driver: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver

    - Connection String: jdbc:sqlserver://HOSTNAME\sqlexpress;databaseName=MYDB;username=USER;password=PASS

    - Driver File: C:\Program Files\SoapUI-5.2.1\bin\ext\sqljdbc4.jar

     

    And that's it!

     

    Let me know if it works

      Another solution is to use groovy script.  You can use Windows Authentication to access sql server database. 

       

      Notice of extra jar and dll: 

      1 The files of JDBC driver(MSSQL(MicrosoftDriver)/com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDrive) isn't distributed with SoapUI Free version. .jar and .dll must be copied into the folder of Soapui folder.

      - sqljdbc_auth.dll must be copied to ..\SoapUI-5.2.1\bin\
      - sqljdbc42.jar must be copied to ..\SoapUI-5.2.1\lib\.

      2 JDBC driver link https://www.soapui.org/jdbc/reference/jdbc-drivers.html

      3 sqljdbc42.jar can be used in jdk 1.8

        Why would you want to use a script instead of  JDBC step? This is an honest question!
