Connecting to SQL Server 2005 from CMD window

  • I solved all the issues with this post.

    The named instance was key to the issue.  There is a special flag and parameter needed to successfully connect to a named instance via the command window.

    The format 'database.table' for the source object parameter (taken from SQL Server Help) is incorrect.  After trying many different formats for this parameter, I discovered it.  I have not seen the specific problem documented anywhere.

  • Then why not post your solution for other folks' benefit ?
