The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Dreamwearver 8 - SQL Server 2005 Connections - No Tables Found

Asked by sdkman in Adobe Dreamweaver, SQL Server 2005, Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: Dreamwearver 8, connection strings, SQL Server 2005, database tables

I should be grateful if someone would please solve my problem, as detailed below.

To set the scene, the following technologies are in play&

Local Machine: Windows 2000, Dreamweaver 8

Web Server: Windows Server 2000 (Advanced, SP4, sqlncli.msi applied)

SQL Server: Windows Server 2003, SQL Server 2005

Development Language: Classic ASP

The problem&

I am connecting to an SQL Server 2005 database using the in-built features of Dreamweaver 8, found under the Databases tab. I have applied the file, sqlncli.msi (downloaded from Microsoft), to the web server, which enables the use the necessary SQL Native Client drivers and providers.

I have successfully connected to the required database on the SQL 2005 server, using either the Custom Connection String&

MM_IMWebsite_STRING = "Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=myServer;Database=myDatabase;Uid=myID; Pwd=myPassword;"

Or the Data Source Name (DSN)&

MM_IMWebsite_DSN_STRING = "dsn=myDSNName Uid=myID; Pwd=myPassword;"

&Methods. There are no error messages and all connections test successfully; however, when I expand the connection entries under the Databases tab, everything seems ok, until I click on Tables. In both cases None is displayed.

For completeness, I should mention the following&

1. The Stored Procedures & Views are all visible/available in the 'DSN' connection, but only the Stored Procedures are visible/available in the Custom Connection String connection (Views displays None).

2. The System DSN has been created on the Web Server, using the SQL Native Client.

Can anyone assist me in accessing my SQL 2005 Databases correctly, such that Dreamweaver 8 can make use of the data stored in the tables?

Thanking you in advance,

Simon
