JAva Swing/SQL Server 2000 sending messages in a LAN

Rajnesh 0 Tallied Votes 183 Views Share

This prog uses SQL Server's Master Databases xp_cmdshell stored procedure (Shell Commands) to send messages in a LAN.Make Sure the driver name is 'netsend' and it points to Master Database. Check and change the username and passwords in the Java Program also.Make sure you have sufficient priviledges to execute stored procedures in SQL Server 2000.
