Connection to Microsoft 2000 server.

[Ellis Hodgdon]

I'm a newbie to Builder/DataStream and I need to connect to a database on a
Microsoft SQL Server 2000. This has to be simple, but I can't find any
documentation on it. How is this done?

How do you want to connect to this database?

- DB Pilot?
- from your own application?

In either case, you need a JDBC database driver. Get either
the one Microsoft offers or the jTDS driver which most say
is superior to Microsoft's: Google +"jdbc driver" +"sql server 2000".

If it's DB Pilot, search the archives (see sig below) for

dbpilot configure options

If it's within your own program, Google

+jdbc +driver +tutorial

or start here

If you want to use the DataExpress components
in JBuilder, start out by reading the "Developing
Database Applications" in the JBuilder Help. Study
the sample DataExpress projects.
