| Hello,I'm new to SQL-server. After going through Installation tutorial, I found my concept and terminoligies unclear to me. One of them is Instant Name that comes in Installation process. I want to know what Instance Name is. As the Installation dialog give two option in Instance Name setting 1- Default Instance and 2- Named Instance I also want to know what they are and how Named Instance is to be set( i.e. what to write in text box next Named Instance Lable)Looking for Kind reply.Regards,Danish Kamran |

Default Instance is for first installation and it is the name of the machine where you install sql server.Named Instance is the name for a further installation of sql server on the same machine.Maybe machine is MyServerDefault Instance is: MyServerNamed Instance can be: MyServer\MyInstancenameSo you can use more than one installation of sql server on the same machine.Webfred
