Connect to server by ip address and port

Brian Donahue

Hi Ian,

SQL Compare and data compare construct a plain old ODBC connection
string based on the information that you feed to the ConnectionProperties
object. There isn't a property for a port number, but I've found that if you
use the Named Pipes format for specifying a port, where the port number
follows the IP address after a comma (127.0.0.1,1433), that seems to work
with SQL Compare and Data Compare.
