Hi,

I am new in SQL as DBA, can anyone give me good link or notes or video to understand SQL clustering in depth.

Secondly can we  have more than 1 database in shared storage of cluster environment ? 


Want to upgrade 2008 R2 to 2012. Upgrade advisor giving errors relating to Database Compatability Level and Server Collation

I want to upgrade a SQL Server from 2008 R2 to 2012.  When I run upgrade advisor, I get the following error messages:

Rule "Valid Database compatibility level and successful connection" failed.

The report server database is not a supported compatibility level or a connection cannot be established.  Use Reporting Services Configuration Manager to verify the report server configuration and SQL Server management tools to verify the compatibility level.

Rule "Valid Database server collation and successful connection" failed.

The SQL Server Database Engine is not configured with a valid server collation and cannot be used as the Reporting Services SharePoint Shared Service catalog database.

The database called ReportServer has Collation = Latin1_General_Cl_AS_KS_WS and Compatibility level = 100

My home computer has Windows 7 Ultimate, x86. I downloaded and attempted to start every version of SQL Server 2012 for x86 OS, but they all gave the "SQL server media not supported on a X86 system. To continue, run the SQL server setup media that matches your system" error when I attempted to run the setup file.

Can't Start Service

Hello all.  I recently installed SQL Server Express 2014 on my machine.  It worked fine for a few days, and then it went down, for some reason.  Now I can't start the service.  TCP/IP is enabled.  I can't tell what's going on here.  Any thoughts?


Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Unable to finish the SQL 2012 installation on a VM Machine

Hi, My name is Leonard and I am studying SQL. I have downloaded the newest MS SQL 2012 and also MS 2012 Hyper-V. I have set a MS 2012 Hyper-V on a laptop with AMD Turion 64 X2 and 3G of RAM (Planing to add more to max at 8G).

Following the instructions in the free onlineAdministering Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases” Training Kit, I have set 6 virtual machines as instructed in the Training Kit. While the installation of the MS Server Core 2008 R2 SP1 completed with no problem, the same cannot be said for the SQL Server 2012 installation. I have encountered an error that I have not seen anyone address in any of the SQL web forums.

After running the unattended setup instruction (Setup.exe /qs /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQLEngine /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /SQLSVCACCOUNT="Njowa\Pa$$worD>" /SQLSVCPASSWORD=" Pa$$worD” /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="Njowa\lenny#4!@" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS) this is what I get after a series SQL setup initiation windows popups then disappears.

The following error occurred:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Error result: -2147467261

Result facility Code: 0

Result error Code: 16387

Please review the summary.txt log for further details

My question is: What instance of an object is not properly initialize in the Setup instructions

Issues rebuilding master database

I am having a bit of a problem when I am running the setup with rebuildDatabase option.  The instance is a 2008 Instance, standard edition, running on a 64-bit server.

I have cloned a production database, but only the C:\ drive where the binaries exist. ie no user databases and no system databases.
So now I want to rebuild master, and once successful, I will restore the master database from backup. I have changed the parameters in the sql server configuration services to point to the C:\ drive, as I would hope that it would create them there.
from command prompt, as administrator, I execute this:
Setup /QUIET /ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=accountname /SAPWD= password123 /SQLCOLLATION=Latin1_General_CI_AS

it fails with the following excerpt in the Details.txt :

Now, my question, is where on earth is it picking up the E:\Data from? Why is it looking for that particular drive? It is worth noting, that on the production server, the Database Default location is E:\Data, however, I would have thought when rebuilding, it scraps all that, and starts again.

If anyone has seen this before, any ideas would be appreciated

Questions around compatibility levels and upgrades

$

Hi,

 I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 engine running a couple dozen DBs ... many of them are at compatibility levels for SS2000 and SS2005.

 I'm using Upgrade Advisor 2008 R2, but keep getting an error very early in the process:

"Method not found:
'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable `1<Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlParser.Parser.Error>
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlParser.SqlCodeDom.SqlCodeObject.get_Errors()'

I've seen several references to this but I haven't seen a fix.

Is using UA2008R2 the right method to check the 2000/2005 DBs so I can upgrade them?

Is there something I need to get the UA to run?

Thanks

eric

Where and how do I get to ... Integration Services, Analysis Services, etc.

So, I just downloaded and installed Windows 8 and SQL Server 2014 Developer. I used to have Visual Studio, that seems to be gone now. Can't find it. I can't figure out a way to get to SSIS or SSAS. Any help would be appreciated, as apparently Microsoft gives nothing without charging money for the privilege.

One Machine 6 IPs - How to setup DNS for SQL Server.

$

Hello,

I am running a number of SQL instances on my PC. Within the network, I have think server with various System Center components. For compatibility reasons, some features of System Center 2012 R2 had to be delegated to different SQL databases. My question is, because there is now more than one IP address on my system, and each instance of SQL is assigned to its own IP, is there a way to setup DNS and SQL so the namespace points to the desired IP address? For Instance:

MSSQL2008 instance is set to run on = 11.12.13.1
MSSQL2012 is set to run on = 11.12.13.2

IN DNS:

A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.1
A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.2

If I want to use MSSQL2008 by specifying Mike-PC as the DNS name, how would I do that with 100% accuracy? If there is another way to get the job done, I am more than willing to approach this differently.

Thanks to all that reply,

Mike

Cannot connect to SQL Server 2014 (complex)

$
0

I cannot connect an instance of SSMS 2014 installed on my computer with an 2014 instance installed on a (remote) server. Both computers are on the same domain, and I am using NT authentication.  All SQL installs referenced here are Developer 64 bit edition (we are just starting up with it).

On my (local) computer, I have both SQL 2008 installed (default instance) and SQL 2014 (named instance), along with SSMS and other client tools for both versions. OS on my computer is Windows 8.1 Enterprise.

The (remote) server is running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, with SQL 2014 installed (default instance). It is configured for NT authentication only, and is configured to allow remote access. The SQL Server Browser service is running on all referenced servers (as well as on my computer). As per the SQL Server Configuration Manager utility, "Control Protocols" are enabled for Shared Memory, TCP/IP, and Named Pipes. (Default instance port is 1433.)

Using SSMS 2008 on my laptop, I can connect to both local instances (2008 and 2014), and existing remote 2008 instances. I cannot connect to 2014 on the remote server. (SQL 2014 is currently only installed on my computer and the one server.)

Using SSMS 2014 on my laptop, I can connect to both local instances (2008 and 2014), and existing remote 2008 instances. I cannot connect to 2014 on the new instance.

I can remote-desktop to the remote server, and I can run SSMS on that local desktop and access the instance. (I am local admin on the box, and have SysAdmin rights on SQL.) I can “ping” the server. It is a virtual instance--Hyper V, I believe, but I have no access to that level of our infrastructure.

When I try to connect to the remote server (dev-db1) via SSMS 2008 or 2014, I get the following message:

---------------------------

Cannot connect to dev-db1.

Additional information:

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 – No such host is known.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 11001)

No such host is known

---------------------------

The fun part: everyone else on the team is able to connect to the 2014 instance, using SSMSes 2008, 2012, and 2014. I know little of firewalls, but this fact would seem to indicate that they are properly configured. Perhaps a firewall setting on my computer?…except I haven’t messed with it, and it looks like a totally default (corporate) setup.

This is a new laptop, prepped and distributed by "corporate IT". It has been demonstrably flaky in a few cases, and I half-suspect some files or drivers may not have been installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

SQL Server Data Tools for SQL 2014 setup

$

Hello,

I have been using SQL server 2008 with Visual Studio 2008 to perform the ETL processes.

I have recently got SQL 2014 and realized that Business Intelligence Development Studio does not come with it so I have to download SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Basics 2012 or 2013 from:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh297027

Can someone advise what exactly I have to do if I want to start using SQL  2014 with SSDT? I still have VB 2008 installed and all my packages were created with that version.

Do I need to download VB 2012 or 2013 plus SSDT and then SSDT? Do I also uninstall VB2008?

Thanks in advnce

Can't connect to remote SQL Server 2014 Standard with VS 2012

$

Hi all,

I am trying to create a development environment using SQL Server 2014 (not Express).  The SQL server instance is on a Windows 8.1 Pro machine in a non-domain environment.  I have Visual Studio 2012 installed on the same machine which can connect to the SQL server instance without problems.  I have another machine with VS 2012 that cannot connect.  SQL server is configured for mixed authentication.  The SSDT on the remote machine can see the SQL server networked instance, but will not connect with SQL authentication. 

I have rounded up all the usual suspects;

- The SQL server service is running

- Remote connections are enabled on SQL server and the relevant firewall ports are open.

- TCP/IP and named pipes are enabled

- Remote connections are enabled in Management Studio

- SQL Server Browser service in enabled and running

What am I missing?  I have been out of developer mode for a few years and all of the tools have changed, but I seem to be missing something obvious.

Many thanks in advance,

Tim
