The ‘Provider’ determines how the application should access the database. In this case OLEDB is used – which
is installed when installing MDAC 2.6.
The ‘Initial Catalog’ is the name of the database to connect to; this will most likely be SW6000-1.
The ‘Data Source’ will be the name of the computer on which the SQL server is running. Depending on how
SQL server is installed you could use the same format for ‘Data Source’ as is used for MSDE, i.e.
‘SQLCOMPUTERNAME\SW6000’
The ‘uid’ is the user id to be used by the application when connecting to the database. This will most likely be
the default system administrator name ‘sa’ but it depends on how the SQL Server is installed. If you add security
to the SQL Server you might change this to more appropriate value, and for example add a password to the
Connect string. If you do please note that this password will be public to anyone with access to the registry on
the client-machines.
