useful tip

You will find if the connection is ok when you try to select database. Also you need the SQL Native Client installed on the machine.

Awesome

provide uses of UDL

Great info. A real time saver.

Never thought of it. it's an easy way to get the connection string.

I have used this technique for years. It surely takes the connection and authentication out of the list of possible causes when there is a problem. I had not used it to create a connection string. Makes sense.

Quiet useful.
|
|
|
Awesome tip! Thanks Andy
|
|
|
Great share.
|
|

I didn't see how it will conntact to Sql? or when actual connects to Sql's screen? in other word, how that user can logon without Sql client to install to the locaiton PC.
Thank you,
|
|
|
This will come in handy!
|
|
|
I would have rated it a 5 after I've successfully verified the usage. Great tip! Thanks Andy.
|
|
|
Very handy thing to know!

The multiple zoom in/out on the notepad display was a bit distracting
|
|
|
Good
|
|
|
Great tutorial. I used to use these for building connection strings back in my VB6/VBscript days ;)
|
|
|
Very informative. Learned new thing on the first day of the year. Thanks Andy.
|
|
|
Very useful. thanks
|
|
|
great content. I've been doing SQL Server DBA administration for years and did not know that this test exisited! Thanks for the information!
|
|
|
Good--succinct, useful.
|
|
|
I have used the UDL file for years, but did not know about renaming it back to a TXT file to see the connect info. Great tip!
|
|
|
*THAT* is a great little connectivity testing tool
:-) Scott
|
|
|
Normally i used to test the connection with the Microsoft ODBC tool and good to hear that we have this option thanks for sharing this
|
|
|
Simple, too the point, moves right along without skipping over anyting. Excellent.
|
|
|
great demo! Thanks!
|
|
|
Truly useful
|
|
|
Very nice done.
Happy new year to you!!!
|
|
|
That is a great tip. Thanks for sharing it.

|
|
Excellent, Andy, another good one.
|
|
|
I like this, especially the end where he renamed the file back to a txt file to show the connection information.
|
|
|
This is exceptional! Thanks for the level of detail provided.
|
|
|
Very informative
|
|
|
Glad you covered the password being stored as clear text. This is very useful in a dev environment where you have student coders who need quick access to a designated server.
|
|
|
very nice video
|
|
|
Succinct and extremely useful and convenient in development vs. database back-end.
|
|
|
That is an extremely useful tip! Thanks Andy.
|
|
|
Very useful - thanks!
|
|
|
thats cool!

Andy, this is a great video for testing the basic connectivity. However, i want to point one thing here. During your video, you selected the 'SQL Server Native Client 10.0' as a provider and further you mentioned that you can take this UDL file to any other server in the network where SSMS is not installed to test the connectivity. Do you think that Native Client 10.0 will also present there on that UDL file on the other server where SSMS(and ultimately SQL Server native client) is not installed currently?

really enjoyed this one. I can definitely see how I will be able to use this in the future.

Nice tip and a great follow-up would be an example of using a UDL file from something like a custom app.
|
|
|
Works on Windows 7. Does it work on XP? Any version of "NT" back to what?
|
|
|
very usefule, liked the part to extract the connection string from the udl file content
|
|
|
This was totally new information for me and I think it is very useful.
|
|
|
