Hi Kumar,

Save the connection string in a .txt file. Using the include function call that connection string notepad in Qlikview script. With this connection string notepad, your no need to connect every time to same Database.

Thanks & regards,

You have Password?

you can do it through connect button in script editor by selecting OLEDB

[stonecold111]

Yes, I have password. Can you please guide me step by step

[shiveshsingh]

Sure, select OLE DB database in script editor and click on connect, a new data link properties  window will open.

Select Microsoft  OLE DB  Provider  For SQL Server,click next.

Select your server name, and put user name and password to connect to server.

On that server, select the DB that contains the tables. Test connection and it's done!

Hope you are having necessary drivers installed.

Hi Suresh,

ODBC data connections

You can create a data connection to select data from an ODBC data source that has already been created and configured in the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog in Windows Control Panel.

See: ODBC

Creating a new ODBC data connection

Do the following:

1. Click Create new connection and select ODBC.The Create new connection (ODBC) dialog opens.
2. Select which data source to use from the list of available data sources, either User DSN or System DSN.System DSN connections can be filtered according to 32-bit or 64-bit.For User DSN sources you need to specify if a 32-bit driver is used with Use 32-bit connection.
3. Add Username and Password if required by the data source.
4. If you want to use a name different from the default DSN name, edit Name.
5. Click Create.

The connection is now added to the Data connections, and you can connect to, and select data from the connected data source.

Editing an ODBC data connection

Do the following:

1. Click @ on the ODBC data connection you want to edit.The Edit connection (ODBC) dialog opens.
2. You can edit the following properties:Select which data source to use from the list of available data sources, either User DSN or System DSN.UsernamePasswordName
3. Click Save.

Thanks,
