ADO Connection Strings

ODBC Driver for dBASE

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnection = _T("Driver={Microsoft dBASE Driver (*.dbf)};DriverID=277;"
                   "Dbq=c:\\DatabasePath;");

Note: You must specify the filename in the SQL statement... For example:

Collapse | Copy Code
CString strQuery = _T("Select Name, Address From Clients.dbf");

ODBC Driver for Excel

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnection = _T("Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};DriverId=790;"
    bq=C:\\DatabasePath\\DBSpreadSheet.xls;DefaultDir=c:\\databasepath;");

ODBC Driver for Text

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnection = _T("Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};"
        "Dbq=C:\\DatabasePath\\;Extensions=asc,csv,tab,txt;");

If you are using tab delimited files, you must create the schema.ini file, and you must inform the Format=TabDelimited option in your connection string.

Note: You must specify the filename in the SQL statement... For example:

Collapse | Copy Code
CString strQuery = _T("Select Name, Address From Clients.csv");

Visual FoxPro

If you are using a database container, the connection string is the following:

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnection = _T("Driver={Microsoft Visual Foxpro Driver};UID=;"
    ourceType=DBC;SourceDB=C:\\DatabasePath\\MyDatabase.dbc;Exclusive=No");

If you are working without a database container, you must change the SourceType parameter by DBF as in the following connection string:

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnection = _T("Driver={Microsoft Visual Foxpro Driver};UID=;"
    "SourceType=DBF;SourceDB=C:\\DatabasePath\\MyDatabase.dbc;Exclusive=No");

ODBC Driver for Access

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnection = _T("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};"
        "Dbq=c:\\DatabasePath\\dbaccess.mdb;Uid=;Pwd=;");

If you are using a Workgroup (System database): you need to inform the SystemDB Path, the User Name and its password. For that, you have two solutions: inform the user and password in the connection string or in the moment of the open operation. For example:

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnection = _T("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};"
        "Dbq=C:\\VC Projects\\ADO\\Samples\\AdoTest\\dbTestSecurity.mdb;"
        "SystemDB=C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\SYSTEM.mdw;"
        "Uid=Carlos Antollini;Pwd=carlos");

or may be:

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnection = _T("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};"
        "Dbq=C:\\VC Projects\\ADO\\Samples\\AdoTest\\dbTestSecurity.mdb;"
        "SystemDB=C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\SYSTEM.mdw;");
if(pDB.Open(strConnection, "DatabaseUser", "DatabasePass"))
{
    DoSomething();
    pDB.Close();
}

If you want to open in Exclusive mode:

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnection = _T("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};"
        "Dbq=c:\\DatabasePath\dbaccess.mdb;Exclusive=1;");

ODBC Driver for SQL Server

For Standard security:

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnection = _T("Driver={SQL Server};Server=MyServerName;"
        "Trusted_Connection=no;"
        "Database=MyDatabaseName;Uid=MyUserName;Pwd=MyPassword;");

For Trusted Connection security (Microsoft Windows NT integrated security):

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnection = _T("Driver={SQL Server};Server=MyServerName;"
     "Database=myDatabaseName;Uid=;Pwd=;");

Also, you can use the parameter Trusted_Connection that indicates that you are using the Microsoft Windows NT Authentication Mode to authorize user access to the SQL Server database. For example:

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnection = _T("Driver={SQL Server};Server=MyServerName;"
    "Database=MyDatabaseName;Trusted_Connection=yes;");

If the SQL Server is running in the same computer, you can replace the name of the server by the word (local) like in the following sample:

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnection = _T("Driver={SQL Server};Server=(local);"
        "Database=MyDatabaseName;Uid=MyUserName;Pwd=MyPassword;");

If you want to connect with a remote SQL Server, you must inform the address, the port, and the Network Library to use:

The Address parameter must be an IP address and must include the port. The Network parameter can be one of the following:

  • dbnmpntw Win32 Named Pipes
  • dbmssocn Win32 Winsock TCP/IP
  • dbmsspxn Win32 SPX/IPX
  • dbmsvinn Win32 Banyan Vines
  • dbmsrpcn Win32 Multi-Protocol (Windows RPC)

For more information, see Q238949.

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnection = _T("Driver={SQL Server};Server=130.120.110.001;"
     "Address=130.120.110.001,1052;Network=dbmssocn;Database=MyDatabaseName;"
     "Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;");

ODBC Driver for Oracle

For the current Oracle ODBC driver from Microsoft:

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnect = _T("Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};Server=OracleServer.world;"
        "Uid=MyUsername;Pwd=MyPassword;");

For the older Oracle ODBC driver from Microsoft:

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnect = _T("Driver={Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle};"
     "ConnectString=OracleServer.world;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;");

ODBC Driver for MySQL

If you want to connect to a local database, you can use a connection string like the following:

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnect = _T("Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};Server=localhost;"
     "Database=MyDatabase;User=MyUserName;Password=MyPassword;Option=4;");

If you want to connect with a remote database, you need to specify the name of the server or its IP in the Server parameter. If the Port is distinct to 3306 (default port), you must specify it.

Collapse | Copy Code
strConnect = _T("Driver={mySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};Server=MyRemoteHost;"
     "Port=3306;Option=4;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyUsername;Pwd=MyPassword;");

The parameter Option can be one or more of the following values:

  • 1 - The client can't handle that MyODBC returns the real width of a column.
  • 2 - The client can't handle that MySQL returns the true value of affected rows. If this flag is set then MySQL returns 'found rows' instead. One must have MySQL 3.21.14 or newer to get this to work.
  • 4 - Make a debug log in c:\myodbc.log. This is the same as putting MYSQL_DEBUG=d:t:O,c::\myodbc.log in AUTOEXEC.BAT.
  • 8 - Don't set any packet limit for results and parameters.
  • 16 - Don't prompt for questions even if driver would like to prompt.
  • 32 - Enable or disable the dynamic cursor support. This is not allowed in MyODBC 2.50.
  • 64 - Ignore use of database name in 'database.table.column'.
  • 128 - Force use of ODBC manager cursors (experimental).
  • 256 - Disable the use of extended fetch (experimental).
  • 512 - Pad CHAR fields to full column length.
  • 1024 - SQLDescribeCol() will return fully qualified column names.
  • 2048 - Use the compressed server/client protocol.
  • 4096 - Tell server to ignore space after function name and before '(' (needed by PowerBuilder). This will make all function names keywords!
  • 8192 - Connect with named pipes to a MySQLd server running on NT.
  • 16384 - Change LONGLONG columns to INT columns (some applications can't handle LONGLONG).
  • 32768 - Return 'user' as Table_qualifier and Table_owner from SQLTables (experimental).
  • 65536 - Read parameters from the client and ODBC groups from my.cnf.
  • 131072 - Add some extra safety checks (should not be needed but...).

If you want to have multiple options, you should add the above flags! For example: 16 + 1024 = 1030 and use Option= 1030;.

For more information, go to MyODBC Reference Manual.
