JBuilder JDBC Connectivity to Microsoft SQL Server(1)

I had facing a problem in connecting Microsoft Sql Server using Borland JBuilder. It tooks many time to be solved. The following steps are what I have done to connect MS Sql Server using Jbuilder.

1-First of all, you need to download Microsoft JDBC driver:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/jdbcregister.asp
Then try to install the downloaded driver. After installing the driver you should declare the driver in JBuilder.

2)Select Enterprise Setup from JBuilder menu and the go to Database Drivers tab. Select Add and then New. Now select the path of your driver("C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC").
After adding your driver and selecting a name for library the Enterprise Setup should be look like this:


3)Now Select Tools->Database Pilot. Then choose View->Options and go to Drivers page. Now select Add to specify your driver. Enter following string in the Specify New Driver dialog:
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver

Now close the dialog and select File->New from Database Pilot main menu. Your driver should be listed in New URL dialog and it should not be red. If it is red you may mad a mistake in one of the steps covered.

After selecting Microsoft Driver enter the following code as URL:
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver:ServerName:1433;databaseName=DBName

4)Now test your connectivity by selecting File->Open and entering username and password of your database.

Google Scholar

Google Scholar enables you to search specifically for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research. Use Google Scholar to find articles from a wide variety of academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories and universities, as well as scholarly articles available across the web.

Just as with Google Web Search, Google Scholar orders your search results by how relevant they are to your query, so the most useful references should appear at the top of the page. This relevance ranking takes into account the full text of each article as well as the article's author, the publication in which the article appeared and how often it has been cited in scholarly literature. Google Scholar also automatically analyzes and extracts citations and presents them as separate results, even if the documents they refer to are not online. This means your search results may include citations of older works and seminal articles that appear only in books or other offline publications.

Novell Releases Linux Desktop

Novell had made its first foray into desktops for the enterprise.
The news brings Novell in line with Sun and Red Hat. Sun, with its SUSE-based client, has already reached version two, while Red Hat entered the arena last May, following several months without a standalone product at all.
Novell's snappy entitled Novell Linux desktop powered by SUSE version 9, is likewise based on SUSE, having finalised the acquisition of the company early this year.
However, Novell's version is based on SUSE 9.1 rather than the Enterprise 8 code base used by Sun. Principally, the difference rests on Novell's client using the 2.6 kernel, while Sun is on 2.4.
