I just installed Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 17.2. I am trying to create a DB Engine on my local computer. My goal is to have a local demo database which I can create and modify tables.
I followed basic articles in the web saying that I only need to write my computer name as a server name and use windows authentication.
I am constantly getting this error:
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to f.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)
The network path was not found
So to repeat again - my goal is only to be able to create database with random data. I need it for demo purposes.

I have installed SQL Server (mssql) extension in my VS Code then tried to connect to SQL Server Express with ./SQLEXPRESS, master, integrated log in detail. It should work perfectly as by default there's a database named "master".
But instead I get two errors:
mssql: Error: Unable to connect using the connection information
provided. Retry profile creation?
mssql: Error 3: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred
while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not
found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct
and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a
connection to SQL Server)
Please can anyone help me with that?
Expecting to connect VS Code with SQL Server Express
I have installed SQL Server 2012 Express version where I have a local db instance separately. When I connect to SQL Server Express, it connected without problem, but when I try to connect to local db, I get the following error:
The attempt to attach to the database failed with the following information: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:2)
The system cannot find the file specified.
When I open SQL Server Configuration Manager, the local db service is not running but it is stopped. When I start that it shows error
The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details
When I open its properties and select log on as built in with local system after clicking apply it shows error
The process terminated unexpectedly.[0x8007042b].
I'm using Redgate SQL Compare to compare my databases.
I can connect to my server's database using my local SSMS. I can also test it successfully using connection.udl file.
However, even when I use SSMS plugin to compare a local database with a server database, redgate's SQL Compare complains that:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - Access is denied.)
What might be wrong?
Whenever I'm trying to connect SSMS to my computer I get this error:
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to NUNA.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)
The system cannot find the file specified
I'm pretty sure that my computer or server is name is NUNA but it doesn't connect and I get this error. I have tried to stop SQL Server Express in Windows Services, but it doesn't show the SQL Server Express
Did you try restart SQL Server service or try with "."?
I have an MVC4 app that was working before I started working on it today. As far as I know I did not make any changes to the connection strings.
I have a connection string set to use a SQL Server 2012 database.
When trying to run the app from my local machine I get this error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
Description:
An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:
The connection string specifies a local SQL Server Express instance using a database location within the application's App_Data directory. The provider attempted to automatically create the application services database because the provider determined that the database does not exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to successfully check for existence of the application services database and automatically create the application services database:
Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine.
If I run the app from the server that it resides on I do not get this error. I can also access the SQL Server database from both my local machine and the server with SQL Server Management Studio and Visual Studios built in Server Explorer.
