Hi all<br>
<br>
Sorry for this v.basic question. Trying to load a layer from SQL 2008 R2<br>
64bit using the msplugin_mssql2008.dll and when running shp2image it just<br>
bombs out on that layer saying neither DSN nor Server keyword supplied.<br>
Two things I can see could be the issue - accessing the plugin itself (any<br>
way to test if that is actually loaded okay?) or that the connection string<br>
is duff.<br>
The SQL instance is the default instance on the same box as the web<br>
application, I have seen various flavours of connections out there,with<br>
different starts to the string and ways to define instance. Below is what<br>
I went with....<br>
<br>
PLUGIN "msplugin_mssql2008.dll"<br>
CONNECTION<br>
"MSSQL:Server=SERVER1;uid=user1;pwd=qwerty1234;database=name1;Integrated<br>
Security=True"<br>
<br>
I have the dll in the data folder for the mapfile (it does live in the<br>
mapfile folder and system32 just in case - hardwiring the path using<br>
c:\...\...\msplugin_mssql2008.dll didn't work either)<br>
<br>
I am unsure about the beginning of the connection string and the server<br>
reference (I am using the server name (as it is a default instance - works<br>
in my web apps)).<br>
<br>
Any clues much appreciated<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Chris<br>
