SDAC?Server=localhost Database=Northwind Integrated Security=SSPIĭBX?AuxDriver=MSSQL Server=localhost Database=Northwind UserID=sa Password=sa īecause of a bug in the default version of dbExpress, a non-empty UserID and Password must be present even if Windows Authentication is used. SDAC?Server=localhost Database=Northwind UserID=sa Password= Here are some examples of Data Abstract connection strings for the following drivers:ĪDO?AuxDriver=MSDASQL.1 Server=ODBC_SOURCE UserID=user Password=passwordĪnyDAC?AuxDriver=ODBC DataSource=MySQLServerĪDO?AuxDriver=SQLOLEDB.1 Server=localhost Database=Northwind UserID=sa Password= ĪDO?AuxDriver=SQLOLEDB.1 Server=localhost Database=Northwind IntegratedSecurity=SSPI

The string is passed to the driver that handles connections, to initiate that connection.

In the Connection String, you can copy and paste this for your Visual Studio connection string.Īgain, since this came back in my search results, I am adding this note for myself in the future and possible others may find this useful.A Connection String is a special string that describes information about a data source (like a Database, but equally it could be a data file, spreadsheet or something else) and also how to connect to said data source. To do so, right click on the new Data Connection and select Properties. You can now configure and connect to your data source and view the connection string for each data source. Once this is installed, you will have an option of Oracle database when you are creating a new data connection for MysQL.

You will need to have a MySQL/Oracle account to download the connector for MySQL. When choosing a new Data Source, specify Microsoft SQL Server for your SQL connection, but MySQL needs a connector. I am connecting to both SQL Server and MySQL so I would note this down for myself and others who might be in the same boat, so to speak.

In Visual Studio, go to Server Explorer and choose to create a new connection by right clicking on Data Connections and browsing to the SQL Server to which you wish to connect. I read you cannot do it within SQL Server Management Studio, but you can retrieve the connection string Visual Studio uses, as suggested by another user. I was searching for the same thing how do I view the connection string to a particular SQL Server database. This may be too late, but there seems to be a better answer for this question.
