Connect SQLServer failed in c++

Ba ranh (33)
I connect to the database on VPS but it goes to the case 'SQL_ERROR', I don't know what am I missing or where is wrong, hope everyone helps.

Diagnostics

When SQLDriverConnect returns either SQL_ERROR or SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, an associated SQLSTATE value may be obtained by calling SQLGetDiagRec with an fHandleType of SQL_HANDLE_DBC and an hHandle of ConnectionHandle. The following table lists the SQLSTATE values commonly returned by SQLDriverConnect and explains each one in the context of this function; the notation "(DM)" precedes the descriptions of SQLSTATEs returned by the Driver Manager. The return code associated with each SQLSTATE value is SQL_ERROR, unless noted otherwise.


Implement the code to fetch and display all the appropriate diagnostic information.


> (SQLWCHAR*)L"DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER = 103.151.23.147;DATABASE=test;UID=sa;PASSWORD=44448888;",
Be sure you have the right mix of ASCII/Unicode flags for your build.
Indiscriminate casting just silences the compiler, it doesn't mean you have a string in the right format.


> 1024,
You have a #define, use it.

I've posted here extensively over the years on ODBC. If you search you'll likely come up with my examples. To do ODBC you really need to learn to make maximum use of...

SQLGetDiagRec(...)

It does usually reveal in pretty awefully cryptic form what its unhappy with. Also, it really, really helps to make an ODBC Class to encapsulate and hide all the connection ugliness. Here's my ODBC class that shows SQLGetDiagRec(). Also, for whatever reason, I've never made a connection to SQLServer that returns SQL_SUCCESS. I don't know why that is. I always get SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, which is good enough. If you get that you've got a connection.

If you want to use this code in any way you would need to replace my instances of 'String' with the C++ String Class 'string' or wstring. I have my own String Class so you need to change that, for example, instances of String::lpStr() need to be changed to wstring::c_str(), etc.

Nothing real fancy, but here is the header for my ODBC Class. You could easily make your own. The two databases I routinely dealt with were MS Access and SQL Server.

Here's an old program I dug up that I believe shows SQLGetDiagRec() in its simplest form. What I did was I modified the code so as to make an attempt to connect to a Microsoft Access Database that doesn't exist at the path specified in the code, which triggered a call to my error handler which calls SQLGetDiagRec()....
