I have been working on SQL server 2014. It was working fine. Today when i was trying to connect to server it is not connecting. It is showing this error.
This probably is the issue because Windows turn off some services to optimize the windows performance, You should Try this:
Search Services in your search bar and open it, Search for SQL Server Services from the list of services, right-click > start and try connecting to your SQL Server again. make sure they are running
start MSSQLSERVER service from SERVICES tab in CONTROL PANEL
provided you are typing right database credentials
Probably you might want to start SQL server using SQL server configuration Manager (you can find it directly from Start menu) or you can go to the path in your C Drive based on SQL server version

I am working on a project with a friend and he has deployed a SQL Server database. He uses a PC and can access the database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
However I have a Macbook with an M1 chip and so I cannot use SSMS and need to figure out which SQL Server application I want.
It seems like the way to go is Microsoft Azure Data Studio. I cannot figure out how to connect properly, I have looked at several solutions posted online which all say to download docker, download the latest SQL Server image, use SQL edge, run SQL Server in a container and then open Azure and connect.
One caveat is that all these tutorials end with creating a SQL Server on the local host rather than connecting to an existing one.
In Azure, after entering server id, username and password, there is a green dot on the label of the DB on the left drop down menu, indicating that the connection to the DB was successful. However whenever I try to view the DB's from the drop down it loads and then errors:
Object Explorer task didn't complete within 45 seconds
and I cannot run any basic queries either.
At this point I don't care what IDE I use as long as it works. Any advice is much appreciated. It seems like this task should be super easy but has given me such a hard time and we cannot continue working on the project until I get access.
Anyways, thanks again in advance! and lmk if there's any other info I should provide.
Tried using docker with Azure Data Studio and my results were the same as when I only used Azure.
You'll want to use Azure Data Studio.
You don't need Docker at all to meet your goals. Those tutorials were in regards to running your own SQL Server instance on a Mac. You're trying to connect to an existing instance.
As mentioned in the comments, where is the existing SQL Server instance located?...is it on a server that's part of a domain. Is your Mac part of that same domain? It sounds like you're getting some kind of timeout issue or some sort of authentication issue. So this is more of an infrastructure question.
Once connected to the SQL Server instance in Azure Data Studio, what happens if you just open a blank worksheet and run the query SELECT ##SERVERNAME?
Trying to install Sitecore 7.1 on local machine but getting an error while attempting to connect to SQL Server. If I browse for a Database Server nothing comes up in the list. I have SQL Server 2012 installed and several databases that were created from Visual Studio. What am I missing to make the connection?
For some it may be a case of the SQL Server Service has stopped running. To turn it back on:
Open up Sql Server Configuration Manager.
Select SQL Server Services in the tree view on the left
In the Context Window on the right check to see if your SQL server service is turned off.
If it is right click and click start.
I am not able to connect to the database engine. I have recently installed SQL Server 2012 after formatting my hard drive.
Operating system : Win 7 Enterprise 64-bit
When I try to connect to the database engine :
WN7X64-XXXXXXX, I get the following error message
A network-related or instance-specific error occured. Could not open connection to the SQL Server'.
I tried accessing using (localhost). It did not work.
I tried accessing using (localhost)/SQLExpress. It did not work.
I tried accessing using (localhost)/MSSQLServer. It did not work.
I tried accessing using MSSQLServer. It did not work.
When I checked the services. SQL Server status is starting, and it does not give me the option to start/stop. SQL Server Agent status is blank, when I start the service it gives
Error 1068 : dependency service or group failed to start.
Name Status Startup Type
SQL Full-text Filter Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER) Started Automatic

I sometimes get SQL Server Express stuck in 'starting', in fact, just now, which is why I googled up this page. The solution is to kill the process and restart it.
Simplest way to do that is through Task Manager, which you can start by right clicking the Windows system tray (banner at the bottom of the screen where minised programs go). Processes tab, Sort processes by Name, find all beginning 'SQL...' and stop them.
To restart SQL Server right click the Windows Start button, start Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services, scroll to all services starting 'SQL...', right click to refresh, and stop any that are running, then start the 'SQL Server' service, followed by any others that are set to Auto or Manual start.
I had the same issue and MSDN Documentation did not help. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/307288.
It was to do with that there was an orphan Sql related service i.e SqlWriter was hanging around. Go to task manager and killed it. Then the error went away.
To connect to a SQL Server default instance (not Express), you can use:
just a . (dot)
just a (local) (be aware: in round brackets)
just a localhost (be aware: NO brackets)
See the official MSDN documentation on Logging In to SQL Server for more details and explanations, and for even more options how to connect.
Try localhost or (local). Not (localhost).
I had the same issue . go to task manager , search for "SQL Server Windows NT" then end the task . after that , go to your services (Run services.msc) and restart your sql server instance .
Solution works for me in MSSQL Server express edition with Windows 10 environment .
I have installed the Sql server 2008 express edition with tools. After Installing sql server 2008 and sql server management studio. When i open the sql management studio it shows a window, Connect to server. Here I got already filled boxes like that:
Server type: Database Engine
Sever name: (local)
Authentication: Windows Authentication
When i click on the Connect button it displays an error message box, and nothing will be created. What can i do. Would someone help me to fix it.
Open run--> CMD
execute this code : NET START MSSQLSERVER for default instance and NET START MSSQL$<INSTANCENAME> for named instance.
I agree with user2196728, you should be able to connect using the SA account specified during installation. At that point you should be able to setup an account using your domain account (windows authentication)
Confirm that this is turned to on (2008R2):
Click on the Start Menu.
Go to the folder Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
Click on the folder Configuration Tools
Launch SQL Server Configuration Manager
When that loads, on the far left menu, click on SQL Server Services
You should see at least three items on the right window, probably SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS), SQL Server Agent (SQLEXPRESS), and SQL Server Browser. Right click on SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) and click Start (if it's highlighted out, that means it's running).
Then try logging into local again using Windows Authentication.
I've just started work on a new computer in which I had to download all the software fresh.
I've just download a copy of SQL Server 2008 R2, and I'm trying to connect to SQL Server Management Studio without success. I vaguely remember last time I installed this, it asked me to choose between windows, or sql server authentication, however this didn't happen for this installation.
If I try to login via Windows Authentication (where the username and password fields are greyed out, localhost as server name) it gives the following error:
"A Network-related or instance
specific error occured while
establishing a connection to SQL
Server. The server was not found or
was not accessible. Verify that the
instance name is correct and that SQL
Server is configured to allow remote
connections. (provider: Named Pipes
Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a
connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft
SQL Server, Error: 2)"
I have checked everything in SQL Server Configuration Manager, and everything bar VIA is enabled.
If I try SQL Server Authentication, It asks me for a username and password which I definiately have not set yet. Also, under SQL Server Services in configuration manager, there is nothing there.
Any help would be appreciated :)
Thanks
PS: I don't know if it's worth mentioning but I am running Windows 7 as a virtual machine on a Mac.
Are you sure you have the correct instance name? If it was SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition then the default instance name is .\SQLEXPRESS.
Also if your using sql authentication to connect try running sql management studio as admin, if you are a limited user your identity might not be mapped to an account in sql server yet but i believe the Administrators user group is.
You need to check if your services are running.
Please type
net start mssqlserver
in your command prompt. Then try to login.
Ended up reinstalling completely and doing a fresh install from a fresh download. When I did this I was brought through the steps of selecting the default instance, and selecting authentication modes.
Working fine now :)
After checking tons of sites looking for an answer to this question, I think I have a simple solution.
Open the sql Server Configuration
Click on the sql server services node
Right Click on Sql server
Click Start.
I have been screwing around with this forever, and this simple method actually worked.
