Connecting to MS SQL (Azure) using FreeTDS - macos

I'm on Mac OS X Mavericks, and trying to use pyodbc to connect to a Microsoft Azure MS SQL server. I'm wanting to use a DSN-less connection for simplicity and have installed FreeTDS and pyodbc (as that's what I want to eventually use) using MacPorts.
1. tsql config
$ tsql -C
Compile-time settings (established with the "configure" script)
Version: freetds v0.91.103
freetds.conf directory: /opt/local/etc/freetds
MS db-lib source compatibility: no
Sybase binary compatibility: no
Thread safety: yes
iconv library: yes
TDS version: 5.0
iODBC: no
unixodbc: no
SSPI "trusted" logins: no
Kerberos: no
2. odbc.ini (/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/databases/MyODBC/files/odbc.ini)
[MSSQL]
Description = MyDatabase
Driver = FreeTDS
Servername = xxxxxxx.database.windows.net
UID = username
PWD = password
Port = 1433
TDS_Version = 7.0
3. isql test
$ isql -v MSSQL
[IM002][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
4. tsql test
$ tsql -H xxxxxxxx.database.windows.net -p 1433 -U xxxxxx -P xxxxxx
locale is "en_AU.UTF-8"
locale charset is "UTF-8"
using default charset "UTF-8"
Error 20002 (severity 9):
Adaptive Server connection failed
There was a problem connecting to the server
I tried it using TDSVER=8.0 and TDSVER=7.1 in front of the command as done in this post. Using TDSVER=7.1 I get a slightly different error ...
Error 20017 (severity 9):
Unexpected EOF from the server
Error 20002 (severity 9):
Adaptive Server connection failed
There was a problem connecting to the server
Can anyone help me diagnose and step through this?
Thanks!

any thoughts on the why and how to solve it?
Since this is HANA Cloud Trial, I don't think, that you should use -d to specify a tenant database name. Please try to remove this parameter as you may be trying to connect to a non-existing tenant database. You can also refer to this tutorial.
Second thing to consider is the allowlist for IP addresses. Per default connections are blocked if you have not added your client ip to the allowlist. More details can be found in this blog.
Last but not least, please check if your are using the latest version of ngdb.jar. It can be obtained on this site.

RobotFramework Oracle DB Connection Issue

I'm trying to check if the oracle DB connection using the Keyword:
Connect To Database Using Custom Params
Following libraries are imported:
Database Library
JayDeBe API
This this is the connection string used:
'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver', 'jdbc:oracle:thin:#//DBHostname:Port/DBName', ['user', 'pass']
We do not get any response that can identify if the connection is established or rejected.
We see this message in RIDE:
'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver', 'jdbc:oracle:thin:#//DBHostName:Port/DBName', ['user', 'pass']
20170927 17:07:54.438 : INFO : Executing : Connect To Database Using Custom Params : jaydebeapi.connect(db_api_2.connect('oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver', 'jdbc:oracle:thin:#//DBHostName:Port/DBName', ['user', 'pass']))
Can someone please help us?
We found the solution: In our case we have python 2.7(32bit) therefore we need the following:
1. Oracle Instant Client Downloads for Microsoft Windows (32-bit). you can download it from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/winsoft-085727.html
Set the variable path in environment variable for the Oracle Instant client.
Download cx_Oracle API (32bit- cx_Oracle-6.0.2-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl (md5) ) from the location:https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cx_Oracle/
Open command prompt and run: pip install cx_Orcle --upgrade
Open the RIDE and use the following keyword:
Connect To Database Using Custom Params cx_Oracle 'user', 'password', 'DBHOSTNAME:PORT/DBNAME'

How to load table from SQL server using H2o in R?

I try to load table into R using h2o but had the following error
my_data <- h2o.import_sql_table(my_sql_conn, table, username, password)
ERROR: Unexpected HTTP Status code: 500 Server Error (url = http://localhost:54321/99/ImportSQLTable)
java.lang.RuntimeException [1] "java.lang.RuntimeException: SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://10.140.20.29/MySQL?&useSSL=false\nFailed to connect and read from SQL database with connection_url: jdbc:mysql://10.140.20.29/MySQL?&useSSL=false"
Can someone help me with this? Thank you so much!
You need a supported JDBC (Build on JDBC 42 Core) driver to connect from H2O to SQL Server. You can download Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.2 for SQL Server from the link below first:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54671
After that please follow the article below to first test JDBC driver from R/Python H2O client and then connect to your database:
https://aichamp.wordpress.com/2017/03/20/building-h2o-glm-model-using-postgresql-database-and-jdbc-driver/
Above article is for postgres however you can use it with SQL server using an appropriate driver.
For Windows, remember to use ; instead : for the -cp argument.
java -Xmx4g -cp sqljdbc42.jar;h2o.jar water.H2OApp -port 3333
water.H2OApp is the main class in h2o.jar.
Important Note: SQL Server is not supported so far( August/2017).
You may use MariaDB to load datasets:
From Windows console:
java -Xmx4G -cp mariadb-java-client-2.1.0.jar;h2o.jar water.H2OApp -port 3333
Note. For Linux, replace ";" with ":"
From R:
sqlConn <- "jdbc:mariadb://10.106.7.46:3306/DBName"
userName <- "dbuser"
userPass <- "dbpass."
sql_Query <- "SELECT * FROM dbname.tablename;"
mydata <- h2o.import_sql_select( sqlConn, sql_Query, userName, userPass )

cx_Oracle connection by python3.5

I've tried several attempt to connect Oracle DB but still unable to connect. Following is my code to connect. However, I could connect Oracle DB through the terminal like this:
$ sqlplus64 uid/passwd#192.168.0.5:1521/WSVC
My evironment: Ubuntu 16.04 / 64bit / Python3.5
I wish your knowledge and experience associated with this issue to be shared. Thank you.
import os
os.chdir("/usr/lib/oracle/12.2/client64/lib")
import cx_Oracle
# 1st attempt
ip = '192.168.0.5'
port = 1521
SID = 'WSVC'
dsn_tns = cx_Oracle.makedsn(ip, port, SID)
# dsn_tns = cx_Oracle.makedsn(ip, port, service_name=SID)
db = cx_Oracle.connect('uid', 'passwd', dsn_tns)
cursor = db.cursor()
-------------------------------------------------
# 2nd attempt
conn = "uid/passwd#(DESCRIPTION=(SOURCE_ROUTE=OFF)(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=192.168.0.5)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=WSVC)(SRVR=DEDICATED)))"
db = cx_Oracle.connect(conn)
cursor = db.cursor()
------------------------------------------------------
# ERROR Description
cx_Oracle.InterfaceError: Unable to acquire Oracle environment handle
The error "unable to acquire Oracle environment handle" is due to your Oracle configuration being incorrect. A few things that should help you uncover the source of the problem:
when using Instant Client, do NOT set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME; that should only be set when using a full Oracle Client or Oracle Database installation
the value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH should contain the path which contains libclntsh.so; the value you selected looks like it is incorrect and should be /usr/lib/oracle/12.2/client64/lib instead
you can verify which Oracle Client libraries are being loaded by using the ldd command as in ldd cx_Oracle.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

rhc setup Doctype error

I have:
-Windows 10
-ruby 1.9.3p551 (2014-11-13) [i386-mingw32]
-git version 2.6.4.windows.1
When I type in: rhc setup and then i try to log in i get this:
use the server for OpenShift Online: openshift.redhat.com.
Enter the server hostname: |openshift.redhat.com| here is my login
You can add more servers later using 'rhc server'.
RSA 1024 bit CA certificates are loaded due to old openssl compatibility
An unexpected error occurred: invalid character at "<!DOCTYPE "
I need little help here :)
At this step "Enter the server hostname: |openshift.redhat.com|", just hit enter, don't type anything there. If you type something else there it's going to try to connect to that and it won't work.
