The name of my MS Sql server instance is HEY, but when trying to log on to Sql server via Microsoft Sql management studio, the login window displays as the name of a server ‘SIRSYSTEM\HEY’.
What is SIRSYSTEM? A name of default server instance? If so, then why can’t I connect to HEY using the following connection string ( in Ado.net ):
@’Data Source=(local)\ SIRSYSTEM \ HEY;Initial Catalog=FilmClub;’+ ‘Integrated Security=true’;
cheers
SIRSYSTEM is the server or workstation name hosting the instance; to connect to, it the datasource would be either .\HEY, or SIRSYSTEM\HEY, get rid of the (local)\
