"ms sql" means microsoft SQL Server or MS Access

Question

In netbeans, during new database connection for "ms-sql", I get:

Cannot establish a connection to jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;databaseName=bombermario using com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver (The TCP/IP connection to the host localhost, port 1433 has failed.
Error: "Connection refused: connect. Verify the connection properties, check that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port, and that no firewall is blocking TCP connections to the port.

Well, the error messages **says** that it's **SQL Server** - no ? — marc_s, Feb 15 '15 at 17:16
***YES*** The product is **officially** called **SQL Server**, but a lot of programmer refer to is as "MSSQL", or "ms sql" or whatever — marc_s, Feb 15 '15 at 17:23
