Hi,
I want to be sure I understand the term hostname as far as SQL Server is concerned.
My application connects to the SQL Server using the SQL Server name. E.g. "MySQLExpress"
So, the application does not use the SQL Server IP address.
When the application starts and connects to the SQL Server, does DNS lookup take place?
And would the SQL Server name I use when connecting is the same as 'hostname'?
TIA
UPDATE: I want to test my app connecting the SQL Server by IP and not name. How do I find out what is the IP of the SQLExpress installed on my PC? so that I can test it. TIA
