Needs a SQL Database although SQL Express is installed

Individuum92 opened this issue 4 years ago · comments

I have installed the SQL Express 2019 sucessfully and run FOCA.
Unfortunatelly, i receive the message that FOCA needs a SQL databse and i have to setup a databse connection.
Same problem with SQL Express 2017.

Hello,

Indeed, FOCA needs a connection to the database of your preference to start working. If no default connection is configured, the system will prompt a window for introducing a connection string.

To help you further, could you please send us a screenshot of the error?

After you click the OK button. Don't you see a window similar to this one?:

Yo need to enter the connection information here.

Yes, i do. But i can not change the fields "User name" and "Password".
The User name was set automatically.

If you choose to use Windows authentication then, there's really nothing left to configure but checking that the Server name is correct.

Could it be that you changed the SQL instance name during the installation process?

For further information, you can check out our wiki tutorial about setting the SQL database.

It possible do it with MariaDB? I have tried put in server name "localhost" but it not connect.

Hello ourenseko,

Unfortunately, we haven't tried connecting FOCA with MariaDB. We guess that may be possible with the right drivers, but sadly, we have no experience that would help you navigate through it.

Please, if you succeed, let us know!

I tried many things, but FOCA with the name ".\SQLSERVER" was not executed for the database.
If I use "localhost" FOCA runs without problems! : =)
