I installed Sqlserver Express 2014 about a year ago on my desktop (Win 7 Pro 64 bit) and it installed

MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS. I just now downloaded and installed Sqlserver Express 2014 on my laptop

(Win 7 Pro 32 bit) and it installed only MSSQL11.SQLEXPRESS, making the databases on my desktop

incompatible with SQLEXPRESS on my laptop. Is MSSQL12 no longer allowed in SQLserver Express?

Or is there a way to download it or upgrade to version 12? Otherwise I will have to recreate my databases 

on my desktop to version 11  so the two machines can keep the databases in sync.

Thanks in advance for advice.

Hello, need to restore truncate & import data to a bunch of tables but realize all of the keys & constraints need to be dropped first & then recreated after. Can anyone point or provide me with scripts that will create & drop them in the correct order factoring foreign keys references?

Thanks in advance.

I just installed WIn 10 and this update has failed to install multiple times. Please let me know what specific download  I need to get this update installed properly.Multiple SQL Server 2008 upgrade downloads offered within support articles.Which one is my best choice?  

The server indicates an error C0190003 after applying part of an automatic update, then locks.

I tried a safe-mode with networking and still was applied and failed. Similarly with a system image restore to an earlier date.

A command prompt boot would work, but I don't know what is needed to get rid of the update so a fresh download can be forced.

PS: I have picked up support for the Church's system when the previous techie moved out of the area and not familiar with SBS 2012 at all.

Thank you

Please, does CU 6 for SQL Server 2012 SP2 has issues?

Please, do you know of any issues with CU 5 for SQL Server 2012 SP2 11.0.5058.0 during installs or any issues after the install?

for example: like Full Text Search (if not in use) or other issues.

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but I have a query on licensing of Microsoft SQL 2014. 

We use MSSQL2014 for our Point of Sale software. We use SQL 2005 / SQL 2008 Express on the clients, and MSSQL2014 Standard edition for the server.

The clients speak to a Windows Service, which then updates the servers SQL database.

If 5 clients are talking to the windows service (which then updates the SQL database), would I need 5 CALs, or just 1. 

So does the Windows Service that actually accesses the database require the CAL license, or does the user that speaks to the windows service require the CAL license still??

I haven't had a lot of luck installing SQ2K8SP3 on my two node cluster.   (And I'm starting to wonder if it can be done.)

Largely, I think, because the installation routine can't find the disk available to it on the node where I'm running the installation.   The cluster validation is almost perfect, but installation routine for SQL2K3 says it isn't.

I've cleared a lot of IP errors out just by pushing the heartbeat cable back into the slot it backed out of.

I'm down to the registerallprovidersip, which should be set to '0', but is '1'.

It complains, still that the cluster doesn't pass validation, even though the validation reports claim nothing much is wrong.

It doesn't find my clustered instance of MSDTC and complains that the MSDTC is not clustered./

Common sense says I can do it, but the extraneous distractions are making me wonder. 

I have an app with sql. When I type a decimal numbered try to save it to the database the database converts it to zero. It does not matter if it is 0.5 or 23,5. All figures are converted to zero. This must has something with specific character sets for content to do. Any tips or hint from you experts?

Hi, 

i'd like to create an environment with: Windows 10, Visual Studio 2015, SQL Server 2014 BI and Powerbi, eventually

on the PC or maybe in a VM (VMware workstation) working over the same PC with Windows 10.

Can i share this environment with a colleague of mine through the internet using only Windows 10, or do i need  any other software, paid or freeware?

Kind regards

Hi.

 

I'm trying to install KB2528583 update for SQL 2008 R2 on SBS 2011.
Server has been migrated from SBS 2003 recently and I'm getting following error when trying to update SQL to SP1:

I want to configure an alert which notifies me if any of my database log files size exceeds a certain threshold percentage.

and can u suggest me a best way to do it?

I needed to re-install the entire sql server 2005, I used add/remove program. everything went normal, except reporting service. I deleted the entire upper sql server directory, rebooted the box, however, it still shows up in services, even though the path does not exist. I tried to reinstall it again, but it complains about name already exists. I cannot change the name, but I am not able to find how I can remove it and reinstall it properly.

Last Action     : DetectInstanceClash

Error String    : An instance with the same name is already installed on this computer. To proceed with SQL Server Setup, provide a unique instance name.

Error Number    : 28086

Has anybody ever seen this?

If I'm on a remote machine, meaning a computer not in the WSFC cluster, and I open SSMS 2014, point it to a SQL Instance, and open activity monitor:

1.  I get all the panes and charts except % Processor Time.

2.  Then, if I authenticate to the cluster's domain by mapping a drive with valid domain credentials, I'm free to put performance counters in the Perfmon - - - but SQL Activity Monitor shuts down with:

“The Activity Monitor is unable to execute queries against server SQL-V01\INSTANCE1

               Activity monitor for this instance will be placed into a paused state.

               Use the context menu in the overview pane to resume the activity monitor

               Additional information:  Access is denied.  (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))(Mscorlib)”

3.  Of course, the Activity monitor can't be resumed via the context menu.

Removing counters and closing the perfmon do not help.  I dropped the mapped drive and rebooted the machine.  That brought back 95% of the information in the Activity monitor.

4.  Further experimentation showed that any mapping of drive shares present on the SQL Server to the computer running SSMS cut off functionality of the 'overview' pane in the remote machine's SQL Activity monitor -- the monitor that had been trying to watch the server offering the shares.

I installed SQL Server 2008 R2 64 Bits on Windows Server 2008 R2 and it failed. I tried to re-install it but it gave me an Error code 0x84B30002. Trying to remove SQL Server 2008 R2 (64 bits) from control panels also gave me the same error. Does anyone have a solution to this? Please help.

Trying to Patch SQL 2014 as the hotfix seemed to have some of the current issues we are experiencing on the version.  We currently have 12.1.4416 and I am attempting to patch to 12.1.4422.  Upon launch of KB (either from exe or cmd) I get the following error:

TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
------------------------------
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
There was a failure to calculate the applicability of setting INSTALLSHAREDDIR.
Error code 0x85640002.

The original installation, SP1, and previous patch went in without issue but something seems to be an issue.  I am running a two node ACT/STBY Win2012R2 cluster.  I get the same error on both nodes. Summary.txt from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Setup Bootstrap\Log is below.

Overall summary:

Any ideas what to look at next?

Thx, Mark

I have 5 SQL server 2008 r2 boxes. When I installed sp3 KB-2979597-x64-ENU.exe, two of them got only five items showed up in the add/remove programs. They are "sql server 2008 r2 native client, sql server browser, sql server 2008 r2 setup (English), sql server system clr types (x64), and sql server vss writer". However the other three servers got four different items "service pack 3 for sql server 2008 r2 (kb2979597) (64-bit), service pack 3 for sql server browser (kb2979597), service pack 3 for sql server system clr types (64-bit) (kb2979597), and service pack 3 for sql server vss writer (64-bit) (kb2979597)".

I extracted the original exe and use the setup.exe with the command line "setup.exe /quiet /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms" (without quote). I did not get the visible errors. What did I do wrong? Help, Thanks!!
