Why can't I connect to a SQL Server 2012 LocalDB shared instance?

Question

I\'m trying to set up a SQL Server 2012 LocalDB (RTM, x64) shared instance on my Windows 7 x64 machine and I can\'t seem to connect to the shared instance. I\'m using an Admini

Answer 1

The problem is you need to quote the db name:

sqlcmd -S "(localdb)\.\MySharedInstance"
