SQL Server 2005
* SQL Native Client ODBC Driver
Standard security:
"Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;UID=sa;PWD=asdasd;"
Trusted connection:
"Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;Trusted_Connection=
yes;"
EquivalentsIntegrated Security=SSPI equals Trusted_Connection=yes
Prompt for username and password:
oConn.Properties("Prompt") = adPromptAlwaysoConn.Open "Driver={SQL Native
Client};Server=Aron1;DataBase=pubs;"
Enabling MARS (multiple active result sets):
"Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;
Trusted_Connection=yes;MARS_Connection=yes"
EquivalentsMultipleActiveResultSets=true equals MARS_Connection=yes

Encrypt data sent over network:

"Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;

Attach a database file on connect to a local SQL Server Express instance:
"Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=.\SQLExpress;
AttachDbFilename=c:\asd\qwe\mydbfile.mdf;
Database=dbname;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
- or -
"Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=.\SQLExpress;
AttachDbFilename=DataDirectorymydbfile.mdf;
 Database=dbname;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
(use DataDirectory when your database file resides in the data directory)
Why is the "Database" parameter needed?
Answer:
If the database was previously attached, SQL Server does not reattach it
(it uses the attached database as the default for the connection).
(the package contains booth the ODBC driver and the OLE DB provider)
Using SQL Server 2005 Express? Don't miss the server name syntax:
SERVERNAME\SQLEXPRESS (Substitute "SERVERNAME" with the name of the comput
er)

Using SQL Server 2005 Express? Don't miss the server name syntax:
SERVERNAME\SQLEXPRESS (Substitute "SERVERNAME" with the name of the comput
er)
* SqlConnection (.NET)
Standard Security:
"Data Source=Aron1;Initial Catalog=pubs;User Id=sa;Password=asdasd;"
- or -
"Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;User ID=sa;Password=asdasd;Trusted_Connection=

Enabling MARS (multiple active result sets):
"Server=Aron1;Database=pubs;

Note! Use ADO.NET 2.0 for MARS functionality.

Attach a database file on connect to a local
SQL Server Express instance:
"Server=.\SQLExpress;
AttachDbFilename=c:\asd\qwe\mydbfile.mdf;
Database=dbname;
Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
- or -
"Server=.\SQLExpress;
AttachDbFilename=DataDirectorymydbfile.mdf;
Database=dbname;
Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
(use DataDirectory when your database file resides in the data directory)
Why is the "Database" parameter needed?
Answer: If the database was previously attached,
 SQL Server does not reattach it (
it uses the attached database as the default for the connection).
Using "User Instance" on a local SQL Server Express instance:
"Data Source=.\SQLExpress;integrated security=true;
attachdbfilename=DataDirectory\mydb.mdf;user instance=true;"
The "User Instance" functionality creates a new SQL Server
instance on the fly during connect. This works only on a local SQL Server
2005
instance and only when connecting using windows authentication over local
named pipes.
The purpose is to be able to create a full rights SQL Server instance to a
user
with limited administrative rights on the computer.
To enable the functionality: sp_configure 'user instances enabled','1' (0
to disable)
Using SQL Server 2005 Express? Don't miss the server name syntax:
SERVERNAME\SQLEXPRESS (Substitute "SERVERNAME" with the name of the comput
er)
* Context Connection - connecting to "self" from within your
CLR stored prodedure/function
C#:
using(SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("context connection=tru
e"))
{ connection.Open();
// Use the connection
}
Visual Basic:
Using connection as new SqlConnection("context connection=true")
connection.Open() ' Use the connection
End Using
The context connection lets you execute Transact-SQL statements
in the same context (connection) that your code was invoked in the first p
lace.

erties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1"""
"HDR=Yes;" indicates that the first row contains columnnames, not data
"IMEX=1;" tells the driver to always read "intermixed"
data columns as text. Note that this option might affect excel sheet write
access negative.
TIP! SQL syntax: "SELECT * FROM [sheet1$]" -
i.e. worksheet name followed by a "$" and wrapped in "[" "]" brackets.
TIP! Check out the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\
Excel]
located registry REG_DWORD "TypeGuessRows". That's the key to n
ot letting Excel use only the first 8 rows to guess the columns data type.
Set this value to 0 to scan all rows. This might hurt performance.

(VB syntax),
you may have to change this to your language specific escape syntax (ex. \
