JDBC sample code using named pipe and SQLServer 2005 driver?

Hi,

Does anybody have a working Java code sample that connects to an SQLServer 2005 database on a remote host, via the default named pipe, from a client using the SQLServer 2005 JDBC driver? Could you post it, or a pointer to it?

I've gotten java.sql DriverManager.getConnection() to work fine with TCP/IP connections before. But I'm a newbie with named pipes, and unclear on how the connection string/properties are different. I've tried to piece it together from multiple docs and threads, but haven't found sample code that quite fits my situation. I think a simple working example would best clarify the syntax.

The server is not using SQL Express. Most SQLServer configuration options are defaults; the named pipes protocol is enabled.

Thanks

Hi Dan,

The Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver does not support connections over named pipes. It only supports TCP/IP connections.

Thanks for the info and your quick response.

I suggest mentioning this in the JDBC docs. I couldn't find it in my searching.
