Hibernate version:
3.0 and I'm using the JTDS driver, version 1.0.3.

I'm using the MSDE of SQL Server. It's named machineName\productName.

In my case productName is STARTEAM, the package that came with it.

When I enter myMachineName\STARTEAM in the connection URL:

jdbc:jtds:SQLServer://myMachineName\STARTEAM:1433/g25_rps_rps001

I get a cannot connect.

locahost doesn't work (doesn't work in Query Analyzer either).

I figure I might not be the only person trying to use Hibernate with MSDE...

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Scott

Read the jTDS FAQ. The "it" you're talking about is a server name and a named instance on that server. jTDS uses a different notation for connecting to named instances, the backslash is just Microsoft's convention.

Alin,

Thanks for that. I reviewed the FAQ and hadn't realized I was looking for 'instance' configuration info.
