SQL Server ODBC "TCP Provider: Error code 0x274C"

I got the following error from the ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server:

[08S01] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]TCP Provider: Error code 0x274C (10060) (SQLExecDirectW)

I can tell from this documentation on the SQLSTATE values for ODBC that the 08S01 indicates that the issue was a "communication link failure", but I'm having trouble finding documentation that indicates the meaning of TCP Provider: Error code 0x274C and so I don't know whether this gives more specific information about the failure.

What does the 0x274C error code mean?

Solution

  • Error code 0x274C (10060)

    Explanation

    The SQL Server client cannot connect to the server. This error could occur because either the firewall on the server has refused the connection or the server is not configured to accept remote connections.
