localhost as default server name about sqlquerystress HOT 14 CLOSED

I am not sure - what is the default.

Maybe it should be (local) ?

from sqlquerystress.

the default is string.Empty

from sqlquerystress.

I think it should be (local), not localhost

from sqlquerystress.

if you ping local, it doesn't work whereas ping localhost works

from sqlquerystress.

Possibly but that is not a usual name of a SQL Server instance

from sqlquerystress.

localhost is not an SQL instance but the name of the local pc
If I use the default SQL instance then its name is not necessary

from sqlquerystress.

What's the point of making this change then?

from sqlquerystress.

the point is to have a default value and not type it every time

from sqlquerystress.

Yes, I understand, and "(local)" is a good default value.

from sqlquerystress.

"local" may looks cool but it doesn't work on a Windows machine.

from sqlquerystress.

(local) (with parentheses) works fine on a Windows machine

from sqlquerystress.

you're right, I didn't know.
so do you prefer (local) instead of localhost?

from sqlquerystress.

Yes please, as suggested 5 days ago

from sqlquerystress.

ok
