# Database Connection Information

On the Database Connection Information dialog box, you must specify the SQL Server connection information.

The SQL Server database instance must already be installed and running on a database server. In the Database Connection Information dialog box, specify the database instance name. For a default instance the instance name is the same as the hostname. For a named instance specify the hostname, followed by a backslash and the name of the instance on the host. For example: INFORLNSERVER\INFORLNINSTANCE.

It is possible that the drop down box does not show all instances on the local network, due to security reasons. Specify the instance name if not listed
