In the host field or the database name field? You might check out Microsoft's site on their JDBC driver (assuming you're using the MS JDBC driver): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/jdbc/building-the-connection-url?view=sql-server-2017 Looks like you can use braces to escape special characters, so I would try the following things: ServerName{\}InstanceName ServerName\\InstanceName The double-backslash may work, or you can try as Microsoft is suggesting with the braces around the slash. If you can't get anything to work you might open up a JIRA issue on this - we may need to add a property to the SQL Server module configuration to account for instance names. -Nick
