Ms Sql Client For Mac Os X

SQLPro for MSSQL (was SQL Client) is a lightweight TDS client, allowing quick and simple access to Microsoft SQL servers (sqlserver), including those hosted in Azure. This client does not work with MySQL. Please ensure that your server is a Microsoft SQL server. Syntax highlighting; Intellisense; Tab-based interface. Anand, I believe you’re saying that you want to install Oracle 10g on Mac OS X, not Mac OS X Server. If that’s correct, you can’t. The binaries aren’t compatible and you’ll raise signal 10/11 because of the incompatibilities. There are many database clients entirely in your web browser. There is no software to install locally, so you can use them on Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows and it works on all major modern browsers (e.g. Firefox, Safari, Chrome, IE and Opera). It supports connecting to MySQL, as well as PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server database and Oracle. The following or later versions of the operating system are supported for Oracle Database 11 g Release 2 (11.2): Apple Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 Starting with release 11.2.0.3, Oracle Database Client is supported on Apple Mac OS X (Intel)(32-Bit) and Apple Mac OS X (Intel)(64-Bit). The following or later versions of the operating system are supported for Oracle Database 11 g Release 2 (11.2): Apple Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 Starting with release 11.2.0.3, Oracle Database Client is supported on Apple Mac OS X (Intel)(32-Bit) and Apple Mac OS X (Intel)(64-Bit).

ODBC on the Macintosh

The Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) application programminginterface (API) allows applications to access data in databasemanagement systems (DBMS) using Structured Query Language (SQL)as a standard for accessing data. The interface permits maximuminteroperability - a single application can access differentdatabase management systems. This allows an application developerto develop, compile, and ship an application without targetinga specific DBMS. Users can then add modules called database driversthat link the application to their choice of database managementsystem.

ODBC allows the front end client programmer to abstractly querya proprietary backend RDBMS database without overly tying theclient application to that particular vendor.

When programming to interact with an ODBC compliant databaseyou need to communicate via the ODBC protocol (a combination ofODBC API function calls and the SQL language). The ODBC Managerwill figure out how to contend with the type of database you aretargeting. Regardless of the database type you are using, allof your calls will be to the ODBC API. All that you need to dois have installed an ODBC driver that is specific to the typeof database you will be using.

With the introduction of REALbasicthe rapid development of AppleMacintosh applications which can act as front-ends to industrialstrength backend databases (such as SYBASE, ORACLE etc. running onSun UNIX systems) is now possible.Until now, however, the information on the missing link 'ODBC'for the Macintosh has been difficult to obtain. This web pageis designed to help you go from concept, to REALbasic ODBC clientapplication, to backend ODBC compliant Database, to product.

This page is about ODBC and not JDBC.

FileMaker Pro now has SQL Builderand ODBC import capabilities as well as an ODBC Server plugin.

I have written a Sybase Browser and isqlreplacement application for Win32 and Macintosh.

Some ODBC Background:

ODBC on Macintosh is implemented via shared libraries installedin the System Folder. The GUI interface to these libraries isgenerally a control panel, called 'ODBC Setup PPC' (orsome such) and the most important step in setting up an ODBC connectionis creating an 'ODBC data source'.

The 'ODBC Setup PPC' control panel will allow youto administer multiple ODBC data sources.

An 'ODBC data source' connection is simply the logicaljoin between the backend database (and the details needed to talkto that server e.g. DBMS logon name, password, IP address) andthe specific ODBC driver (shared lib) for that particular vendor(e.g. SYBASE). These connections are either of type 'UserDSN' (User Data Source Name. i.e. a remote database wherea network connection is required), 'File DSN' (FileData Source Name, i.e. a local file on this machine contains theinformation) or 'Server DSN' (Server Data Source Name,i.e. a minimally configured client interfaces with an centrallyadministered ODBC master server that communicates with the DBMS).This information gives the ODBC driver manager the ability toact as the conduit between the Client Macintosh application andthe DBMS.

With the connections set, the ODBC system is now enabled asthe Babel fish between your client application and the backendserver. Remember your app (or REALbasic) talks to the ODBC sharedlibraries and not the actual DBMS.

Some Mac ODBC Middleware software:

ODBC Aware Vendors	Notes
Actual Technologies, LLC	Our Actual ODBC Driver for SQL Server lets Mac OS X user connect to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases from applications such as Excel and FileMaker Pro. The driver supports both types of SQL Server authentication and requires nothing to be installed on the server. It is available for $30 USD for a single user license. A non-expiring demo version is also available from our website.
Openlink Software	OpenLink Software have been providing ODBC solutions for Mac users for several years. They have recently been active in this area and have a number of software releases. Open-source (BSD and LGPL licensed) iODBC Driver Manager for Mac OS 8.6-9.x and Mac OS X, complete with SDK for the building of both ODBC Drivers and Applications. Universal Data Access Suite -- a Multi-Tier ODBC solution delivering connectivity from Mac OS 7+ and Mac OS X to most major DBMS on most major OS. Virtuoso -- Internet Data Integration Server.
ODBC Gateway by Team FXML	A free, GPL'd ODBC/XML gateway that runs on Windows NT. I have written a REALbasic socket demo that can talk to this WindowsNT server process. It allows ODBC connectivity without installing Macintosh Drivers.
Server DSN setup. Allows one primary NT server to manager all ODBC configurations. Macintosh clients simply connect to this Windows NT ODBC router. Augsoft have also recently been very active in this area and have a number of new software releases are available. Excellent info docs are available. NEW NEWS In latest release, the hardware key is NOT required! Latest Downloads
MERANT (INTERSOLV/ DataDirect Connect Version 3.02 ODBC interface drivers Manual	v3 ODBC interface compliant drivers. Difficult to find information on their poorly organised web site. Macintosh info is buried deep in the supposedly cross-platform manuals. Seems to have lost Mac focus. The single Mac programmer Peter Kaplan left in mid 1999. FileMaker 4.1 may still be supplying the older INTERSOLV Sybase driver version 3.0.2 PPC. This driver will cause a freeze or crash if it is selected from within the Select Data Source dialog in FileMaker Pro. Has Macintosh ODBC drivers as well as SequeLink ODBC drivers. The later is a 'universal' driver that communicates to the SequeLink Server which in turn connects to the SQL database. Sequelink ODBC driver costs about $100 USD per client in packs of 20. Amazingly, it works well... UPDATE: MERANT recently obtained the services of a new Mac marketing manager who appears keen to reverse MERANT's previous form with Mac ODBC drivers. He seems keen to make them work again - Good Luck Greg Stasko UPDATE 2: MERANT recently out-sourced their ODBC driver sales to www.metrotechnologies.com - MetroTech sell the latest ODBC and Sequelink drivers. UPDATE 3: According to sources, Merant has spun off their DataDirect business in a sale to Golden Gate Capital; what this means to Mac users has yet to be determined. UPDATE 4: According to yet more sources.... RE: ...MERANT's DataDirect division was puchased by Golden Gate Capital which is correct. That portion of the company is now it's own private company called DataDirect Technologies (www.datadirect-technologies.com) and they are still moving forward with their Mac drivers. They have recently released version 4.0 of their ODBC drivers on Mac (all other platforms are at version 4.1) which include a few 'Wire Protocol' drivers which are a real plus. Wire Protocol drivers speak directly to the database rather than through some client software which cuts out the middle man. This not only allows you to connect to DBs with only one piece of software but also speeds things up. It should be noted that File Maker's drivers are actually embeded DataDirect drivers. The latest version of FileMaker Pro uses the 4.0 drivers. The drivers can be purchased directly from DataDirect Technologies or through DataVisions (formerly Metro). As of now there is a single mac developer working on the drivers. Unfortunately, there is no SequeLink 5.3 driver on mac. 5.3 is the latest version. Hope this info is helpful to you. ps, I have also heard rumors of them porting their existing unix drivers to native Darwin/Unix but have no idea if this is actually going to happen. UPDATE 4: According to reliable sources ;-).... 'Metro Technologies, L.L.C. ceased operations on January 31, 2002. The then current CEO (Gary Dotzlaw) and myself (Russell J. Cerqua) started a new company called Datavations LLC. We were able to get the contract with DataDirect to be the primary distributor of their Mac ODBC drivers. You still have a reference to the Metro Technologies website, which is currently being redirected to www.datavations.com, our new company's website. Secondly, there was a management buy-out of the DataDirect business of Merant. The new company is appropriately known as DataDirect Technologies, Inc. While the names Intersolv and Merant are still out there with regards to ODBC drivers, everything is slowly but surely changing over to DataDirect Technologies, Inc. Thanks for your time, and when you have a moment, check out our website at www.datavations.com.'
Visigenic - ODBC for Macintosh.	Have stopped making ODBC driver for all platforms. Was the basis for the 'Apple ODBC' libraries. There are reports that the older versions are starting to fail under MacOS 9. Visigenic was purchased by Intersolv, before the merger that builtMerant.
Primebase (uses the visigenic drivers, also has a Mac SQL server)	Very active Mac focussed company. Looks interesting. RB has a native plugin. Go to this web site and you might also find the old Visigenic/Apple ODBC control panel software
FileMaker Pro (See also the FM ODBC plugin by Professional Data Management )	Mac CD has older INTERSOLV ODBC installer. Installer adds drivers for Oracle, text , dBase and FoxDb, Sybase databases (Sybase driver has crashing bug - need to upgrade to SequeLink Drivers). Started to offer FM as an ODBC server via ODBC server plugin.
Microsoft Office 98	MSOffice 98 CD contains 'a Value Pack' with drivers to different dbms including MS SQL, Oracle, etc.
Apple MacODBC	Apple have signed a mult-year agreement with MERANT to ensure that ODBC drivers are available. Is this just more MERANT lip-service? Time will tell. v2 ODBC interfaces were marked as unsupported but are now no longer available for download from Apple's web site.
REALbasic Various drivers	Allows the creation of powerful client applications that can access ODBC Data Sources.

JDBC

JDBC is a version of ODBC for Java applications. MacintoshJava applications can have the JDBC libraries included in theruntime application to allow connection to the RDBMS without installationof the ODBC shared libraries. This allows the app to by launchedwithout installing any extra information into the system folderand works very well. For more info on JDBC try Metrowerksand Sun.

SQL - Structured Query Language

Babel fish - A mythical fish that when placed in the ear, translates every spoken language into your native tongue (from Author Douglas Adams).

I previously explained how to install SQL Server on a Mac via a Docker container. When I wrote that, SQL Server 2017 was the latest version of SQL Server, and it had just been made available for Linux and Docker (which means that you can also install it on MacOS systems).

In late 2018, Microsoft announced SQL Server 2019 Preview, and subsequently announced general release in late 2019. The installation process for SQL Server 2019 is exactly the same as for SQL Server 2017. The only difference is that you need to use the container image for SQL Server 2019 instead of the 2017 image. Here I show you how to do that.

Also, if you already have SQL Server 2017 installed, and you want to install SQL Server 2019 without removing the 2017 version, you’ll need to allocate a different port number on your host. I show you how to do that too.

Docker

The first step is to install Docker. If you already have Docker installed you can skip this step (and jump straight to SQL Server).

Docker is a platform that enables software to run in its own isolated environment. Therefore, SQL Server 2019 can be run on Docker in its own isolated container.

Install Docker
To download, visit the Docker CE for Mac download page and click Get Docker.
To install, double-click on the .dmg file and then drag the Docker.app icon to your Application folder.
Launch Docker
Launch Docker the same way you’d launch any other application (eg, via the Applications folder, the Launchpad, etc).
When you open Docker, you might be prompted for your password so that Docker can install its networking components and links to the Docker apps. Go ahead and provide your password, as Docker needs this to run.
Increase the Memory (optional)
By default, Docker will have 2GB of memory allocated to it. I’d suggest increasing it to 4GB if you can.
To do this, select Preferences from the little Docker icon in the top menu:
Then finish off by clicking Apply & Restart

SQL Server

Now that Docker has been installed and configured, we can download and install SQL Server 2019.

Download SQL Server 2019
Open a Terminal window and run the following command.
This downloads the latest SQL Server for Linux Docker image to your computer.
You can also check for the various container image options on the Docker website if you wish.
Launch the Docker Image
Run the following command to launch an instance of the Docker image you just downloaded:
Just change Bart to a name of your choosing, and reallyStrongPwd#123 to a password of your choosing.
If you get a “port already allocated” error, see below.
Here’s an explanation of the parameters:
-e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y'
The Y shows that you agree with the EULA (End User Licence Agreement). This is required.
-e 'SA_PASSWORD=reallyStrongPwd#123'
Required parameter that sets the sa database password.
-p 1433:1433
This maps the local port 1433 to port 1433 on the container. The first value is the TCP port on the host environment. The second value is the TCP port in the container.
--name Bart
Another optional parameter. This parameter allows you to name the container. This can be handy when stopping and starting your container from the Terminal. You might prefer to give it a more descriptive name like sql_server_2019 or similar.
-d
This optional parameter launches the Docker container in daemon mode. This means that it runs in the background and doesn’t need its own Terminal window open. You can omit this parameter to have the container run in its own Terminal window.
mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2019-latest
This tells Docker which image to use.
Password Strength
You need to use a strong password. Microsoft says this about the password:
The password should follow the SQL Server default password policy, otherwise the container can not setup SQL server and will stop working. By default, the password must be at least 8 characters long and contain characters from three of the following four sets: Uppercase letters, Lowercase letters, Base 10 digits, and Symbols.
Error – “Port already allocated”?
If you get an error that says something about “port is already allocated”, then perhaps you already have SQL Server installed on another container that uses that port. In this case, you’ll need to map to a different port on the host.
Therefore, you could change the above command to something like this:
In this case I simply changed -p 1433:1433 to -p 1400:1433. Everything else remains the same.
You may now get an error saying that you need to remove the existing container first. To do that, run the following (but swap Bart with the name of your own container):
Once removed, you can try running the previous command again.
Note that if you change the port like I’ve done here, you will probably need to include the port number when connecting to SQL Server from any database tools from your desktop. For example, when connecting via the Azure Data Studio (mentioned below), you can connect by using Localhost,1400 instead of just Localhost. Same with mssql-cli, which is a command line SQL tool.

Check Everything

Now that we’ve done that, we should be good to go. Let’s go through and run a few checks.

Check the Docker container (optional)
You can type the following command to check that the Docker container is running.
In my case I get this:
This tells me that I have two docker containers up and running: one called Bart and the other called Homer.
Connect to SQL Server
Here we use the SQL Server command line tool called “sqlcmd” inside the container to connect to SQL Server.
Enter your password if prompted.
Now that you’re inside the container, connect locally with sqlcmd:
This should bring you to the sqlcmd prompt 1>.
Run a Quick Test
Run a quick test to check that SQL Server is up and running. For example, check the SQL Server version by entering this:
This will bring you to a command prompt 2> on the next line. To execute the query, enter:
Result:
If you see a message like this, congratulations — SQL Server is now up and running on your Mac!
