I want to connect to sql server express. I downloaded this driver. I read the help file and this is my code:
try
{
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;database=ActorsDb;integratedSecurity=true;";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
PreparedStatement st = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO Actors(FirstName,LastName,Age) VALUES(?,?,?)");
st.setString(1, "Robert");
st.setString(2, "de Niro");
st.setInt(3,45);
st.executeUpdate();
con.close();
}
catch (SQLException | ClassNotFoundException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
I get this exception:com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The TCP/IP connection to the host localhost, port 1433 has failed. Error: "Connection refused: connect. Verify the connection properties. Make sure that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port. Make sure that TCP connections to the port are not blocked by a firewall.".
I turned off firewall but nothing changed.
I went to SQL Server Configuration Manager and i enabled TCP/IP
I went to IP Adresses, IP1 and set the properties
Active:Yes ; Enabled:Yes ; TCP Dynamic Ports:[empty] ; TCP Port:1433
Any tips of what i am missing? Thanks.
