Named pipes are application programming interfaces (APIs) for bidirectional interprocess communication (IPC) on Windows. Named-pipe connections provide a high-level interface to network software by making transport-layer operations transparent. Named pipes store data in memory and retrieve it when requested, in a way that is similar to reading from and writing to a file system.
Named pipes are supported for local connections to the database server.
