Someone pointed out in another thread recently that may be the default instance name that's running on port 1433. But yes, if it's running on a non-standard port, you'd have to know what that is. Technically speaking both the MS and jTDS drivers support named instances but I've never had good luck with them, and when you use the named instance you're making another round trip to the server to negotiate the port number anyway. -- Matthew Woodward [email protected] http://blog.mattwoodward.com identi.ca / Twitter: @mpwoodward Please do not send me proprietary file formats such as Word, PowerPoint, etc. as attachments. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html -- official tag/function reference: http://openbd.org/manual/ mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
