how to connect SQL Srvr 2005 Exprs instances with backslash

[abifarrah]

Hi, recently I've just installed the DbSchema, and Im really fascinated by it,
but the problem is, everytime I wanted to connect to the SQL Server 2005 database in my localhost PC (with this computer, default port radio button chhecked) or the server one (with I wrote : localhost\SQLExpress),
the application gives a message
Error
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect Network error IOException: Connection refused: connect
although I already followed all the requisition, I still couldnt connect my schema to a real database server.
I thought maybe its because the instances have a backslash (" \ ") on the name, is it matter?

Please Mr. Admin, help me

To connect to an instance of the SQL server database, go to the advance option in the connection management window and add to the string ;instance=YOUR_INSTANCE_NAME

The full string should look like this:

jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://YOUR_SERVER:PORT/DATABASE;instance=INSTANCE_NAME


Also configure your sql server just like in this video
