Connection String to MS SQL Server 2005

Vani Kulkarni

Hello all,

I have been to trying to connect to SQL Server 2005 from ruby code.
Following is the code written:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
require 'dbi'

driver = 'ODBC'
server = "PRODSK0322"
database = 'TestDB'
user = 'sa'
password = 'Sa123'

connection_string = "DBI:ODBC:Driver={SQL
Server};Server=#{server};Database=#{database};Uid=#{user};Pwd=#{password}"

begin
# connect
db = DBI.connect(connection_string, user, password)
# get data and print
row = db.select_one("SELECT TrnEmployees")
puts "result: " + row[0].to_s
rescue DBI::DatabaseError => e
puts "Error #{e.errstr}"
ensure
# disconnect from server
db.disconnect if db
end

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am getting an error saying :
"Error IM002 (0) [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not
found and no default driver specified"

Can any one tell me where I am going wrong?
Is there anything I need to install or am I missing anything in includes
or requires?

Thanks,
Vani

Not sure whether this is acceptable for posting , but there is a site I
found which had a good snippet for connecting to SQL Server if you are
on a windows machine. It uses ADO and worked first go. there are also
other useful SQL Server snippets
