Error using JTDS Driver

[Nidhi Singhal]

Hi,

I am using JTDS Driver to connect to SQL Server database (Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) - 2000).
But, whenever I try to connect, it gives the following error:

"Unable to get information from SQL Server: myInstance"

where 'myInstance" is the name of SQL server instance on my machine.

I am unable to find out what is causing this error.

The SQL Server that I am using supports TCP/IP protocol.

Please suggest a possible solution.

Thanks

Nidhi

We do not use the instance name, but the actual IP address of the server instance .......

I don't think I have ever tried to connect with JTDS using the instance name ........

Hi

I am connecting to the database as following:

"jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://<IPaddress>:1434/myDB;SelectMethod=cursor;Instance=myInstance"

Thanks
