Named pipe & TCP

[Axel82]

There is an application which works with a SQL server. But only through the named pipe, and accordingly, demands server installation on the same computer.

It is very inconvenient for some reasons, and very much it would be desirable to have a server by the separate computer in the network. Whether is it possible to make a certain "adapter" which accepted inquiries from that bad soft through the pipe, and sent them through a socket to SQL?

And on the contrary, of cause.

2 options :

- Open the help file and look for _NamedPipes_CreateNamedPipe

- Configure the SQL server to accept NamedPipes AND TCP connections. Both possible in SQL 2OO5.

SQL already configured.

I read the help, and understood nothing. There is not enough information. So, i created named pipe, i can check existance of it, but have no ideas, how to write and read the data.

Functions CallNamedPipe, and TransactNamedPipe require pointer to buffersize and size of buffer. I don't know the size of inquiry, don't know what is the pointer, and where is the buffer. Is it variable, or memory segment, or something else?
