I have a legacy HR application using a SQL database. The vendor provides NO support. A sql account password changed and apparently it was the account used for the ODBC connection. No one knew the old password. Now the HR app can't connect to Database. Any suggestions on how to reconfigure the ODBC connection with the new password?
Thanks a million for any help!
Error Message
Can you get on the server and look at ODBC connections? Check for the HRsql connection, locate the user, and reset his connection inside of the database.

I've set up a System DSN to the MySQL database and the connection is okay when I test it. When I set up a linked server using that DSN it connects and I can see the catalog and tables but when I try to query it, I get an error that says "contains no columns that can be selected or the current user does not have permissions on that object". When I use the same settings to connect through MySQL Workbench it works and I can query the data. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Make sure that the service account has permissions.
I have a mysql backend and a ms access 2013 frontend, I configured a odbc connection at system level so it´s available to all users in the computer. But Now I realized that you can easily just open a new database and pull all my tables from that odbc connection and see the credentials.
I´ve already try with user level odbc, the database simply doesn´t log.
How can I stop the users from being able to do such a thing?
Use a DSN-less connection plus connection caching.
Both are explained in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/23430539/3820271
Then distribute your frontend as accde, so the source code isn't available.
I am trying to connect mysql database in phpmyadmin to the access file. I am using mysqlconnector ODBC for that. Tutorial I am following is this
The problem is that when I give the credentials to connect to database, it gives me error as shown in this snapshot
I have tried hard to search on internet but failed. What mistake I am doing. I am putting the ftp information of the server there. Is there any database credentials i need to put?
You can't use the FTP credentials to connect the MySQL database. You have to use the database credentials. Make sure you have done followings before connecting.
Make sure MySQL server is up and running on the HOST IP and PORT.
Your MySQL server can accept connections from your IP or use % for
all IPS
Make sure you have a valid USER account
EDIT
Or tell us where(local server, internet, IP) the MySQL database is installed. The port number the server is listening on. How you access MySQL server normally.
Trying to create an ODBC connection from a server to MySQL server. installed 5.1 ODBC driver on the server I want to connect from. when I go to test the connection - the MySql server denies access to user -- then it lists the username with a "#servername.domain.com" appended to it. why is the ODBC appeneding that? so clearly we are connecting to the MySQL server. Both serers are in the same domain behind the firewall. is there somethign on the MySQL server need to configure?
I want to know if I can connect easyphp to an MS Access database to store data into it?
Can anybody point me in the right direction.
I would suggest connecting to an ODBC datasource from php.
Take a look at this step by step article on how to setup an ODBC connection, and connecting to the Access database using that ODBC connection.
