Applies to:SQL Server 2008.

Summary:It is not possible to create a database with SQL server 2008, installed as unnamed instance, when using generic syntax “.\”.

This syntax, which allows access to local unnamed instance of SQL server, is not supported by SQL Server 2008.


Solution:The solution is to use “LocalHost” or “.” Instead of “.\”, in order to access to the local unnamed instance.
