    Hi All,

    I am very new to SQL Server.

    Please see below my connection to the database.

    >sqlcmd -H SRVDSM05015 -S sysdev7mssql,10507 -U appdbo -P appdbopwd

SRVDSM05015\DON_DEV7_DEV

    I can see that, SRVDSM05015 is the host machine where SQL Server software is installed, correct? But what is sysdev7mssql? what is 10507? and in @@SERVERNAME, what is DON_DEV7_DEV?

    Please explain.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello,

    It seems you have a server named SRVDSM05015 with a SQL Server 2000 named instance installed. The name of that instance is DON_DEV7_DEV.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Alberto.

    What is "-S sysdev7mssql,10507" ? I am running this sqlcmd on my PC (not on the server).

    If I look at the help of sqlcmd, -S is server and -H is host. What is the difference? what is the number 10507 in there?

    Hello,

    -S is to specify the instance name.

    10507 seems to be the port number used by that instance.

    Hope this helps.
