NATURAL access to SQL Server

, , ,
1

Hi,
I recently downloaded the community editions of NATURAL and ADABAS. I had no problem accessing the ADABAS database. However, I am facing difficulty in accessing the MS SQL Server. I have the DBID and still I am unable to create a DDM in NATURAL. I guess the following error:

NAT6386 LOGON to SQL database failed.

TEXT:
LOGON to SQL database failed.
EXPL:
You specified an invalid user name or password.
ACTN:
Contact your database administrator.

Could anyone help me with this problem. Any tips on this would be greatly appreciated.

Accessing SQL databases requires Entire Access. I don’t think this is a part of the “community editions”.

Hi Mogens,
Thanks for the quick reply. Is there no way to get Entire access for educational purposes. I am a student and would like to access DB2 or SQL Server. Is there anyway in which I could acquire Entire under a community license? Any information on this would be beneficial.

Not as far as I know. You can talk to your sales rep. but he will probably not give it for free. :slight_smile:
I do not know who decides what to supply as “community edition”?
