Connecting to MS SQL Server

Follow this procedure for connecting to a SQL Server database when you do not have an ODBC Datasource defined for it.

To connect to a SQL Server database you need to specify:

• the machine where the SQL Server instance resides

  If the server is your current machine, specify .\service-name. Example .\SqlExpress.

• the name of the database. AQT cannot give you a dropdown list of these.
