I have Microsoft SQL Server manager version 18.8 installed to my PC, as well as SQL Server 2019. Both are installed on my PC. I need to locally create and manage a database.
I am trying to connect the SSMS but it's not working.
I entered to the services and restarted everything
and I also enabled TCP/IP in configuration manager.
what should I do?
SQLEXPRESS
(this is shown in parentheses within the SQL Server service name "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)
" in the Windows Services MMC snap-in.Server name:
field.You need to specify .\SQLEXPRESS
or (local)\SQLEXPRESS
to be able to connect.
