I am using SQL Server 2008.
What is the difference between (local) and (pc-name)\SQLEXPRESS server names?
When I create database in (local) server will it be different than when created on (pc-name-)\SQLEXPRESS??
Can you please help me to get the exact difference between these databases.
If you install the server on a machine named “XXX” then on that machine only you can (for convenience) use
(local)\SQLEXPRESSas an address as the server is local to that machine.On any other machine (including XXX itself) you can use
XXX\SQLEXPRESSto indicate the server is running on XXX, and that is what should be connected to.
