Fix | Fix issue connecting with instance name from Unix environment

Fixes #868

Just to add on this: if the server only has named instances, then any attempt at opening a connection will throw an exception.

My understanding is that this happens because in resolving "address\instance", the targeted data source becomes in fact "address", which would then point to a non-existing Sql Server. The fix should therefore cover this case too.

Is my assumption correct?

[cheenamalhotra]

Yes, that's correct!
We're also backporting this to v2.1 (PR #874) for next patch release.

Thanks for the blazing fast reply, @cheenamalhotra ! I am happy to hear I will not have to wait until v3 for this fix. 😁

Keep up the good work!
