title: What is the jTDS JDBC Connect URL to MS SQL Server 2005 Express
body: <p>I'm trying to connect to a MS SQL Server 2005 Express database that is running on the local host from a java program.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried the same connect URL (below) that I used on another system (same jave code) that was running MS SQL Server 2000. But that does not work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433/Finance
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
