JDTS Database Connectivity

I finally manage to connect my Java program to MS SQL Server 2000 using JDBC JDTS after 11 hours of understanding how to connect and configure things. I guess that’s the beauty of OpenSource tools you have to dedicate most of your time in learning things but I am pretty much sure after this painful learning curve things will get smooth.

Here is the Simple Code:

import java.sql.*;

public class NewApplication {

public static void main(String[] args){
Connection conn;
try{

Class.forName("net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://ADVENT/DNS;user=mark;password=mark;namedPipe=true");
System.out.println("Successfully connected");
conn.close();
}
catch(Exception e){
System.err.println("Unable to connect");
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}


}
}



Though I can search a lot of this code around the net most of it won't work. I've tried it. The one piece missing on their code is this:

namedPipe=true

Without it no matter how many times I tried to connect it will always refuse.

I used to hate curly braces but now things are getting better for me.

Apple's Edge Over Microsoft?

In the world of IT, models created by business empires will dictate the future of their products. Microsoft is using the component model as the key to win customers and Apple is using the end-to-end model. Microsoft Windows platform crushed Apple's Macintosh platform the day Microsoft release Windows 98 and pirates come out in the open and dominate every stall in our local mall and computer shops. iPod maybe the best and coolest mp3 player that I have ever seen but I still don't think that Apple will dominate the cell phone era for this place belongs to Asia particularly Nokia and Sony Ericson. I don't know why Walter Mossberg thinks US company will always dominate the world when in fact there is another company that belongs to the world and its called Open Source. I think he is dead wrong with his perception. Without a doubt nobody comes close to iPod in the field of mp3 player however, with the release of Sony Ericson latest cell phone such as W900i. An intelligent human ...

High Grounds Cafe - Best Internet Cafe in the Philippines

I was looking for a nice place to chill last Monday to unwind my thoughts and enjoy with my family. I heard about the latest Internet Cafe just open 3 months ago and I decided to check it out. I have seen a lot of Internet Cafe but nothing comes close to this shop. Everything was simply high end from its ambiance, food and computers. It was simply the best place for people who want to collaborate and enjoy together.

GWT+MySQL Best Practice

Image
Migrating from GWT-EXT to native GWT has never been an easy task as I expect it would. I took me some moths to really absorb the fundamentals of its Java code, structure and pattern. The price for taking this challenge was undoubtedly more gratifying especially on performance and size. I had lesser reboot due to memory leak and I had better handling on syntax especially on database due to its strict use of its object. Here are some improvements on my code: DatabaseServiceImpl.java String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/"; String db = "mydb"; String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; String user = "myuser"; String password = "mypassword"; public String connectDatabase() { String resultString; try{ Class.forName(driver).newInstance(); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url+db, user, password); //conn = DriverManager.getConnection...
