How to recognise a database server in the network ?
Hi,
I want to create an activex control for data access. I have a property in the server called myserver. when my control is instanciated in any client, the myserver property ( in the property browser of the client ) should be dynamically populated with all the up and running database servers on the network - be it oracle, db2 or ms sql server!.
Can i achieve this, if yes, how ?
Take care
Genie.
Ciao till i find more questions to make life more complicated......
Re: How to recognise a database server in the network ?
I don't know about the other database systems you mentioned, but with the "Microsoft SQLOLE object library" that comes with SQL server 6.5 you can get a list of SQLServers by calling the ListAnnouncedNetworkSQLServers global method.
