I have connected to my local database through SQLSMS using the string (LocalDb)\v11.0
It opened up a connection and I could add a database.
In my ASP classic code (don't ask :( C#.NET FTW!.. damn clients) I have the following code:
objConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Persist Security Info=True;Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;Initial Catalog=databasename"
It is returning this error: Invalid authorization specification
I have no idea what to put in for the User Id and Password parameters?
You'll need to use SQL server authentication for this:
objConn.ConnectionString = "User ID=<sql server user id>;Password=<password for sql server user>;Initial Catalog=<database>;Data Source=<database server\instance name>;Provider=SQLOLEDB"
Actually looks like there is a previous question 'SQL Server 2012 classic asp connection string' that might cover this in more detail.
Here's an example connection string (SQL Server 2014 on localhost
):
cnstring = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=.\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=dATABASEnAME;UID=sqlsERVERUser;PWD=yourPassword;"
