    <p>I spent hours on this with no success. Any help appriciated:</p> <p>I create LocalDB instance</p> <pre><code>sqllocaldb create test </code></pre> <p>i start that instance</p> <pre><code>sqllocaldb start test </code></pre> <p>i share that instance with same user account that owns the original instance</p> <pre><code>sqllocaldb share "domain\user" test testShared </code></pre> <p>Both instances are in "running" state. </p> <p>I launch MS SQL Management studio and try to connect to instances. Results:</p> <p>I'm able to connect to both instances using named pipes - OK.</p> <p>I'm able to connect to (localdb)\test - OK.</p> <p>I'm not able to connect to (localdb)\.\testShared - NOT OK.</p> <p>Error message:</p> <p><code>A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)</code></p> <p>Any ideas? I tried that on 4 different computers. It works correctly on two of them. 3 of coputers are connected to domain (so it has probably nothing to do with domain environment).</p> <p>In SQL Configuration Manager - all protocols are enabled.</p> <p>What I need to achieve - share the LocalDB instance with IIS APPPOOL\ASP.NET v4.0 account according to <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlexpress/archive/2011/12/09/using-localdb-with-full-iis-part-2-instance-ownership.aspx#SharedLocalDB" rel="nofollow">this</a>.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
