Subject: Re: SQL Studio Error :"ODBC -Error:[SAP AG][SQLOD32 DLL][SAP DB]Unable to connect to

Hi Markus
Thanks for quick reply.
connect means  i can go online. i can see newlly created database in my DBM list
 
(...)
 but when i go to sql studio and try to access same datebase(which i can see in DBM list) with valid user name and  password
it gives an following error
 
"ODBC -Error:[SAP AG][SQLOD32 DLL][SAP DB]Unable to connect to
return-code;SQL_ERROR (-708)" 
 
I guess that the error number is -709 instead of -708.
One can get this error during a connect with SQLStudio mainly for two reasons :
1. the database is offline. this is indicated by a red colored spot in DB Manager's
    database instance listing. select the instance and press the _green_ traffic-light-like
    button (not the red one as i mistyped before) to bring it to 'warm' state.
2. the 'database manager operator' is used to connect to the db. this account can never
   connect via SQL studio . it is for administrative purposes (DB Manager) only.
   use the  'database system administrator' to connect with SQL Studio, then create
   ordinary database users under this account.

(you wrote that you created an ODBC DSN to which I replied :)

yeah thats true
but in help document of sql studio (Logging On Using File � Connect --->2 Select a data source. You can create this data source using the ODBC administrator. )
due to this i  was wondering ,if is there any need of dsn or not...
 
this is a documentation bug, thanks for reporting it; there is definitely no need for a DSN at all.
 
regards
