Database connection issue

Darme

Dear all,

First of all I am happy to say that I voted for RapidMiner in KDNuggets Annual Poll

I have a problem in connecting to Microsoft SQL server 2008 from Rapid Miner 5.3.8
I added a New Driver to RapidMiner with the following parameters

Name : Sql Server
URL prefix: jdbc:sqlserver://
Port: 1433
Schema separator: /
Jar file: sqljdbc4.jar
Next I used this driver to create a new connection with setting the following parameters

Database system: sql server
Host: localhost:1433;databaseName=CSEdb
User: rapidanalytics
Password: rapidanalytics
URL: jdbc:sqlserver:// localhost:1433;databaseName=CSEdb

But connection establishment was not successful.  The following error occurs
“The TCP/IP connection to the locahost, port 1433 has failed. Error connection Refused”
Could you please help me on this

Thanks in advance
Darme

Hi,

did you restard RapidMiner after adding the new JDBC driver? I just tested it myself and after a RapidMiner restart it works just fine with the following url being shown in the Database Connections Manager:
jdbc:sqlserver://192.168.1.xxx:1433;databaseName=xyz

Regards,
Marco
