DBVisualizer/SQL Explorer will not connect to the right DB instance

I am trying to connect to a SQL Server instance in DBVisualizer on ubuntu and for some reason unknown to me it incessantly connects to the wrong instance. The target is a Windows Server that is running multiple instances of SQL Server on it. I am try开发者_开发技巧ing to connect to it using the following string:

jdbc:sqlserver://srv\sql2:1433;DatabaseName=CloudServices

However quite amusingly, it continuously connects to srv\sql1 even though my connection string points to sql2 and not sql1. I can connect to the right db instance (sql2) using SSMS on Windows perfectly fine.

I am having the same issue when I try to connect to this DB using SQL Explorer in Eclipse

Am I missing something here?

Not sure if you still need the answer for this but try using this connection string in DBvisulizer.

jdbc:sqlserver://srv\sql2:1433;Instance=INSERTYOURINSTANCEHERE;DatabaseName=CloudServices

Port 1433 is the static port of the default instance. Try connecting to the redirector on port 1434 and specifying the instance name property in your connection string.
