Specifies the network port used to connect to the SQL Server instance.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"1433"

Remarks

This property identifies the TCP port that the SQL Server instance is listening on. The default SQL Server port is 1433, which is used in most standard installations.

If your SQL Server is configured to use a non-default port (for example, in a custom or cloud-hosted setup), you must set this property to the appropriate value. The Port must match the configuration of the Server and Database properties to successfully establish a connection.

Note: If the server is configured for dynamic ports, you may need to obtain the correct port number from your database administrator or SQL Server Configuration Manager.
