how i can run query on SQL server 2000 remotely??

  • i have sql-server 2000 installed on one machine, connected on the internet using static IP address.

    is it possible to run sql query using VB or powerbuilder without having to setup the second machine from the same workgroup but by using the first machine IP address?

    if not what is the solution?

    thanks,

     

     

  • You can run queries against a remote SQL server by IP address.  You'll need to connect via TCP/IP in this case, so make sure that protocol is enabled.  Since you're working remotely, you will most likely have to use SQL authentication.

    OF course, you should prepare yourself for the dangers of having a SQL Server machine directly connected to the Internet.  Make sure you know what you're getting into.

  • Thanks for your contribution.

    i just found way by running sql query hosted on the web.

    that is much better for security reasons.

    thanks
