traceroute the uri
that will give you the ip number.
then tell the app to connect to $database_server_type @ $ip_number

to run tracerout,
open a dos window
type tracert [domain name]
wait until it tell you an ip number for the domain.
the output will be something like:
1 24.212.6.92 [domain name]
2 56.194.79.112 [domain name]
...
x xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. [domain name]

since I haven't a clue to m$ awfully s!||^ Pages can't tell you what code for using ado to connect to the db.

if it was php with either mysql or posgresql it would be:
mysql_connect($connetion)
or
postgresql_connect($connection)

since you need asp code ya got me on it.
