How to connect a SQL Express data source on my local PC?
Hi,
I want to use Datagrip but couldn't connect to my SQL Express which is on my local PC. I can connect to my database with Rider as follows:
Data Source=IN0011019710199\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=InventoryManagement;Integrated Security=True
I can also connect SQL Express with Windows authentication using MS SQL Management Studio.
Thank you.

Hi,

I added SQL Server Local BD but I can't see all the databases in datagrip. Have a look at the screenshots;
If you create a new data source where you specify one of the missing database in the Database field, does it allow to authenticate to the server and list this database? Anything specific in the way these 2 databases are configured in your SQL Express instance.
Getting this error with no auth and windows credentials.

I appreciate your help. I tried to create the user like in the threads but it says the user is already there. I can't manage to connect all of the databases in the MS Management Studio with DataGrip.
Judging by the outcome, it seems like a permission-related issue. To double-check this, please go to your main SQL Express data source and run this query from the query console, and provide a screenshot of the databases you're getting in the output
select database_id as id, name, cast(databasepropertyex(name,'collation') as char) as collation_name, statefrom sys.databasesThat's pretty much the same query we are using when retrieving the information about database objects
If you don't see all the databases, please refer to this article to check your permissions
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/databases/view-a-list-of-databases-on-an-instance-of-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver16
When I run the query, it brings all the databases I use. In an SQL forum, experts say that “by default, all users have permission to see all the databases. It seems that here you are connected to LocalDB, and not your Express instance. Those are two different things." How can I connect to my local SQL Express instance

Thanks for the update.
Judging by the previous screenshot taken from SSMS, your SQL instance is SQLEXPRESS, which is the default instance name
You need to specify that instance in the Instance field of your data source properties. In this case, SQL Express instance connection is established the same way as with a standard SQL Server. In this case, you need to create a Microsoft SQL Server data source and connect via localhost as your host + port number + your instance. See these steps for more detail
