Application name additional parameter

Post by gilberto.beda » Wed 16 Sep 2015 13:47

I like dbForge for Sql server but there is a problem with our databases. We use the application name additional parameter for authentication purpose. So we have to open connections with APP=[String] or Application name=[String] additional parameter. App doesn't work (give an error that is not supported). Application name does but the established connection do not have the application name entered, so select APP_NAME() return a generic "dbForge Studio Express for SQL Server" value

note that application name additional parameter work fine since MSSQLMS 2012 release.

thanks.

You can specify additional connection string parameters on the 'Advanced' tab of the 'Database Connection Properties' dialog box that can be invoked by right-clicking the connection in Database Explorer and selecting 'Modify Connection...' from the popup menu. Please also see the following topic in the product's Help documentation https://www.devart.com/dbforge/sql/stud ... og_box.htm

Ok. thanks but I found the advanced tab since the first time I installed it but simply the "application name" parameter is not supported. Instead "Workstation ID" work fine
