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'm currently working on a .NET Core project. When I run the application on my local machine (Windows) I can connect to a SQL Server database using my windows credentials.
I am attempting to shift into using a devcontainer within Visual Studio Code, but when I run the same application in the container (Linux) I get an error:
An exception of type 'Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred
in Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.dll but was not handled in user code:
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: 35 - An internal exception was caught)
I'm not sure where to go from here. What did I miss?
When I have tried to connect to localhost and it was displayed the message about
"mssql:Error 2: 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)".
How can I fix it?
I have tried to follow the solution technique given by "Why am I getting "Cannot Connect to Server - A network-related or instance-specific error"?" but i can't find the location of vscode mssql extension configuration tool and SQL Server Configuration Manager?
You may be changed your computer name. if you changed your computer name then back to set initial name of computer. Then restart your Sql Server(MSSQLSERVER)service.
I'm getting error whenever I connect to the instance(DESKTOP-0LFC1LP) on Sql Server. I'm using Sql server 2012.
I don't know what's the reason but whenever I install Sql server , It works perfectly for a day or two and after that it starts giving me this error.
I can solve this by re-installing Sql and it will work fine but again only for a day. I want a permanent solution to this. And please also tell why it works after I reinstall it?
Your help would be appreciated!

First you need to check whether SQL SERVER service is running in your system or not .For checking follows below steps in Windows.
Step 1 : Type "window" button + R ,This will open Run prompt.
Step 2: Type "services.msc" in Run prompt and hit the enter.
Step 3: Find SQL SERVER service from there.
Step 4.Start this service.
Following these steps, I have resolved this problem in my machine.
Thanks
Check your SQL Server Service is Running or not
if the server is in remote location check port 1433 is not blocked by the firewall.
if this is not the default instance, Check SQL Server Browser is running or not
Check the network connection on client PC, and verify the connection to the server using PING or TELNET
Check whether TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled or not.
