Hi Thomas,

first and foremost: compliments for including a SQL interface. Connection with MySQL works perfect. How can I access MS SQL Server. I tried various connection strings and always get the same error message.

Do I need special drivers?
Do I need to use a sideway?

Best wishes

Achim

Hi Achim,

the current and official DataWarrior 5.0.0 does not support SQL-Server nor PostgreSQL.
However, I have built support for both database engines into the current development
version, which you may download as zip-file containing 4 files, which you need to replace
in the official installation. The links are for Windows: openmolecules.org/datawarrior/dw500win.zip
and for Linux/Mac: openmolecules.org/datawarrior/dw500x.zip

Since I don't have access to a SQL-Server not a PostgreSQL database, I could not test it
and would be grateful, if anybody you would let me know, whether it works.

There are some other bug fixes and new functionality coming with that version, e.g. the generation
of random molecules or predicting missing values from chemical structures using machine learning approaches. This functionality is not described in the manual, but is rather straight forward.

Enjoy, Thomas

Thanks so much for this. Like the original poster, I had the same question. I followed your instructions and it worked nicely. I was then going to make a macro to pull from a database but I noticed that it showed up as an unknown task and the macro editor did not have an entry for grabbing data from a SQL database. Is this true?

Thanks!

Sorry for that. I have overlooked something. This should now be fixed in the dw500 update files.
