Hi, Peter -- The failure in your connection attempt probably stems from the URL --
jdbc:virtuoso://otherhostname:8890/DATABASE=sparql/UID=user/PWD=pass Most likely, you are working with the default port settings for this database, which puts the HTTP listener at port 8890. You can see this in the [HTTPServer] stanza of the active .ini file -- [HTTPServer] ServerPort = 8890 The default listener for data access connections (whether ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, or ADO.NET) is port 1112 -- and if you change your URL to use this port, you should find the connection succeeds -- jdbc:virtuoso://otherhostname:1112/DATABASE=sparql/UID=user/PWD=pass You can find this port specified in the [Parameters] stanza of the active .ini file -- [Parameters] ServerPort = 1112 This, with the sample applications Hugh provided, should get you past this hiccup. Be seeing you, Ted -- A: Yes. http://www.guckes.net/faq/attribution.html | Q: Are you sure? | | A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. | | | Q: Why is top posting frowned upon?
