title: Connect to SQL Server localdb JDBC
body: <p>I installed Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express <strong>localdb</strong> on my system.</p>
  
  <p>After I created (and started) a Instance (Test) with an database (db1) I tried to connect with my java-Applikation.</p>
  
  <p>The driver ist "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver".</p>
  
  <p>My connection-string is "jdbc:sqlserver://(localdb)\Test;databaseName=db1;schema=db1;"</p>
  
  <p>Error (truncated):
  java.net.UnknownHostException: '(localdb)' named instance 'Test' 
  Check UDP Port 1434
  Check if SQL Server browser-Service is started</p>
  
  <p>My .NET Framework Version is 4.0.2</p>
  
  <p>'SQLCMD.EXE -S(localdb)\Test' works fine.</p>
  
  <p>How can I solve this problem?</p>
