title: Link Delphi to SQL Server
body: <p>I'm using Delphi XE4 &amp; SQL server express 12, locally on C drive. I can link Delphi to Access DB via ADO comp. Problem is when I try linking SQL server db - it doesn't see my server/db. I'm not sure how I should specify my server name (USER-PC\SQLEXPRESS - name created by SQLserver) or my db name (C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.SQLExpress\MSSQL\DATA\TestDB.Mdf). No passwords used. I tried via ADoTable (SQL SERVER Native Client 11.0 as well as Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server) and TSQLConnection.
  (I've been using MS Access lately - out of touch with external db connection...)</p>
