note 96134 added to function.mssql-connect

When you try to connect to SQL Server 2008 Express, you always have to name the instance you are trying to connect to, even if you installed SQL2008express as "Default" instance instead of named instance. If your instance is SQLExpress and server name is myServer, the server parameter must be: "myServer\SQLExpress". If you installed Default instance of Standard (not express) version of SQL2008 instead, you don't need to name the instance. To connect using TCP/IP, you need also to check server network configuration, enable TCP/IP (listen all: yes), then go to addresses tab and setup port 1433 in all addresses you want the server listen on (by default, port is blank and server don't listen). Libraries involved in TCP/IP are ntwdblib.dll and dbnetlib.dll.
