Net-Libraries

  • What are Net-Libraries? I'm new to SQL Server and have read that during installation I should consider which Net-Libraries to use. (Example: You must configure your SQL Server and each of your clients with a Net-Library in common. Windows authentication requires configuration with either Named Pipes or TCP/IP Sockets Net-Libraries. etc...). Have been reading books and documentation till my eyes crossed and found nothing explaining what they are. Any help is appreciated.

  • These are the connection "types" that SQL Server uses. They are DLLs and are "loaded" by SQL Server if you have enabled them. So if your client software is set to use the Multiprotocol library (DLL), and it was not setup on the server, they will not be able to connect.

    Basically this is the type of conncetiosn you will allow.
