Quote from a book:

Using (local) for the server name ensures that this package can be
easily migrated from a development computer to a production computer
without editing the DTS package, because this connection object will
always attempt to connect to the default SQL Server instance on the
computer on which the package is executed.

Q: Is always (local) - default instance?

Is there are possibility to use (local) as poiter to itself?

Thank you,

Volodia.

Hello hlop2002 (AT) hotmail (DOT) com,

Yes (Local) is the default instance as is localhost

(local) = Named Pipes
localhost = TCPIP
