Answer – HP Report Generation Plug-in does support Named Instances with Microsoft SQL Server/MSDE, allowing different Named Instances to be used within the same Microsoft SQL Server/MSDE installation. Also, a different database name can be defined (to avoid data conflicts) when connecting to MySQL or Microsoft SQL/MSDE. Do not connect multiple installations of HP Report Generation Plug-in to the exact same database name/Named Instance/MDB file as this will cause data corruption.
