connection-string

I created an c# application (not asp webpage) which connects to a sql 2005 server. In my sourcecode the password and userid for this sql-server is coded plain text in ConnectionString. SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(); con.ConnectionString = "Data Source=server1;"+ "Initial Catalog=mydatabase;"+ "Integrated Security=no;"+ "User ID=admin;Password=mypassword;"; con.Open(); Is there a easy way to encrypt password or whole connectionstring, that other peoples who disassemble my tool are not able to see the password? thanks You should store your connection string in a config file and encrypt

I'm using SQLalchemy for a Python project, and I want to have a tidy connection string to access my database. So for example: engine = create_engine('postgres://user:pass@host/database') The problem is my password contains a sequence of special characters that get interpreted as delimiters when I try to connect.

So to be clear, is it possible to encode

I'd like to set default database schema in Oracle Connection URL jdbc:oracle:thin:@<server>:<port1521>:<sid> My sample SQL statement: select monkey_name from animals.monkey I need to query database without schema prefix animals. i.e. when I run this statement select monkey_name from monkey it will use animals schema by default.

In Oracle each user has their own schema (even if doesn't contain any objects) and that is their default schema. Once logged in/connected, they can

I am using SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) in SQL Server Business Intelligent Development Studio. I need to do a task that is as follows. I have to read from a source database and put it into a destination flat file. But at the same time the source database should be configurable. That means in the OLEDB Connection Manager, the connection string should change dynamically. This connection string should be taken from a configuration/XML/flat file. I read that I can use variables and expressions to change the connection string dynamically. But how do I read the connection string value from

I have a connection string in my web config: <add name="MyConString" connectionString="Server=dbsrv;User ID=myDbUser;Password=somepass"word" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> As you see, there is a quotation sign ( " ) in the password (given from other dept. I can't change this db users password). How do I have to escape the quote in this connection string? Btw: I already tried & quot; in the string. That didn't work - ado.net got an ArgumenException then: "Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 57." 57 is where the & quot; is in my

Yes I read this How to find the port for MS SQL Server 2008? no luck. telnet 1433 returns connection failed, so I must specify other port. I tried to use netstat -abn but I don't see sqlservr.exe or something similar on this list. Why it so difficult to find that port? :/ Try this: USE master GO xp_readerrorlog 0, 1, N'Server is listening on' GO http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2495/identify-sql-server-tcp-ip-port-being-used/ mantas mileris very simple. make a note of the sqlsrvr.exe PID from taskmanager then run this command: netstat -ano | findstr *PID* it will show TCP and UDP
