| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| StartMode | When True, an attempt is made to connect on successful start. When False, no attempt is made to connect after successful start. |
| Server | Optional. A string specifying the SQL Server installation started by name. |
| Login | Optional. A string specifying a SQL Server login used when an attempt is made to connect after successful start (StartMode is True). |
