.Net Connection String with LDAP - response (3) by flash7gordon

I got a working teradata ldap connection to work with c# with the following:

•  // below has to be downloaded and "References"d in the project     

        using Teradata.Client.Provider;

   

              using (TdConnection cn = new TdConnection())

              {

                  TdConnectionStringBuilder conStrBuilder = new TdConnectionStringBuilder();

   

                  // i got the server from the ldap odbc description of the connection

                  conStrBuilder.DataSource = "tdserver.com";

                  conStrBuilder.Database = "mydb";

                  conStrBuilder.UserId = "myuid";

   

                  conStrBuilder.Password = "mypw";

                  conStrBuilder.AuthenticationMechanism = "LDAP";

                  Console.WriteLine("conn string was: " + conStrBuilder.ConnectionString);

                  cn.ConnectionString = conStrBuilder.ConnectionString; cn.Open();

                  TdCommand cmd = cn.CreateCommand();

                  cmd.CommandText = "select top 100 * from mydb.mytable";

                  TdDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();

   

                  Console.WriteLine("{0} records affected.", reader.RecordsAffected);

   

                  int currentRow = 1;

                  while (reader.Read())

                  {

                      for (int columnIndex = 0; columnIndex < reader.FieldCount; columnIndex++)

                      {

                          // this is pretty cool.  Does every field with it's name.

                          Console.WriteLine("Row [{0,4}] [{1,20}] = {2}",

                                  currentRow, reader.GetName(columnIndex),

                                  reader.GetValue(columnIndex));

                      }

   

                      Console.WriteLine();

   

                      currentRow++;

                  }
