Upgrading 32-bit SQL Server 2005 Express (SP3) Installation to SP4

$
0
0

PROBLEM

I am unable to upgrade a 32-bit SQL Server 2005 Express SP3 installation to SP4. When I attempt to, the installer bypasses the engine stating, "The edition of product instance MSSQLSERVER does not qualify for this update." in the associated upgrade log.

BACKGROUND

The version and edition of SQL Server I'm working with:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.4035.00 (Intel X86) 
Nov 24 2008 13:01:59

ACTIONS ATTEMPTED

I've tried deploying the following service pack files on this machine:

  • SQLServer2005SP4-KB2463332-x86-ENU.exe
  • SQLEXPR.EXE
  • SQLEXPR32.EXE

NOTE: For the last two, I've called the setup utility from the commandline with the upgrade option e.g.,:

SQLEXPR32.exe /qb UPGRADE=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=OBFUSCATED

I'm lost. How can something so stupidly easy be so #$%&!@ complicated!

SharePoint 2013 Enterprise and SQL Server 2012 Standard edition vs. Enterprise - feature question

$
0
0

I can't seem to find any clear answers to the implications of installing SQL Server 2012 standard edition vs. enterprise in regards to SharePoint 2013. 

I understand that to get many of the features you need Enterprise edition of SQL 2012; but, what I can't figure out is if the backend SharePoint SQL 2012 is standard; but, the PowerPivot/SSRS server is Enterprise will we still get the features?

If we have 3 tier SharePoint farm, one of those tiers is for the SQL Server database backend.  If that SQL instance is 2012 standard and we add another server to the farm w/ SQL 2012 Enterprise to handle the tabular models, PowerPivot, and SSRS in integrated mode will we still get the features?

Or, can we (should we) install Enterprise 2012 as the SharePoint database backend and let that instance triple down as also the PowerPivot and SSRS instance?

Applying SQL 2012 SP1 to Instance Doesn't change Version

We've got an instance of SQL 2012 Express installed on our System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 Server. We applied SP1 to it, via Microsoft Update, and yet the version number hasn't changed. The Discovery Report shows SP1 however. Could it be that the version numbers won't change for these particular features?

"Select Instance" is not available when upgrade to SQL 2008 R2

$

Hello,

I am trying to perform in-place upgrade to an existing default instance of SQL 2005 SP3 (x64) Standard edition to SQL 2008 R2 (x64) Standard.

In the upgrade wizard, it does not allow me to "Select Instance" but instead straightaway asking to "Select Features" which all options are greyed out. I have use the same installer to upgrade 3 other SQL servers without a problem. 

I tried to launch LandingPage.exe in the installer x86 directory and go through the upgrade wizard, surprisingly it is able to detect my current installation and showing as x64 in the summary.txt.

I have seen the same issue happened to others in this forum but seems like no one had a resolution. Some said to uninstall SQL 2005 then install a fresh new instance. This is an option but we have to plan more carefully.

Can someone advise what could have gone wrong in the installer?

Just to clarify.

2008R2 : Unable connect to server after upgrade with SP1

$

Here it is. In the last month I got 2 hard drive failure, and did have to reinstall SQL server 2008 R2. The 2 first time, no problem everything went smooth.

After last hard drive failure, I had reinstalled Windows 7 (x64) and SQL server 2008 R2 ... works fine. No problem to connect to the server using Windows authentication. I install SP1 for 2008 r2 and since then I can't anymore connect to the server (on my local machine).

Got error message as below.
I do notice that the SQL server service is stopped. If I restart it, try to connect, it will automatically stop.

Any hints on how to get that situation resolved ...

Thanks
pascal.

The installation has been going on for about 2 hours now.  I am wondering for how long I should wait before assuming something is wrong and stop the installation. It is a quad-core machine running Windows 7.

Access SQL Server Express 2008

I'm installing an application that requires a SQL Server database.  I'm running windows 8. There are not any MS Office applications installed (I have not installed any software nor activated any applications that came w/ the laptop (new) beyond what was pre-loaded and running at the time of purchase).  At this point in time my primary goal is to get the software (WA CardioPerfect ver 6.1.4) up and running.  The database is not going to be shared or linked with any other computers or on any networks. 

I was told that the free download Access SQL Server 2008 from the MS download site will meet my needs.  If this is correct then can someone tell me:

Which download will best meet my needs (Access SQL Server Express 2008? w/ tools?etc)

What other applications are required in order to get the SQL Server installed/running (if any)?

Are there any issues that I should be aware of?

I realize that the MS download site does give instructions/info on what is required to successfully install the download including prerequisites.  But, since it is my first time, I figured that would ask the experts prior. 

If I'm taking the wrong approach, then please advise.

Thank You in advance


Running XP compatibility mode in Windows 8

I apologize in advance if I'm asking this question in the wrong forum.

I'm trying to install a program on my windows 8 system which runs well/stably in XP.  I have been given conflicting answers regarding whether or not  this is possible to do in Windows 8 and if possible, then how to do it. 

One of the answers that I was given was that this feature was not carried over from windows 7 to Windows 8.

Can someone please set me straight regarding the Windows 8 Compatibility Mode issue.

Thanks in advance

Long story, so bear with me

We installed an accounting package that included Sequel 2005 over the network at the office.  I also installed the same software at home so I could test procedures without affecting the live data at the office.  All was well until the IT consultant upgraded SQL to 2008 R2.  I attempted to upgrade the home computer so I could continue with the testing.  Finally got it to work and all was fine until somehow the home computer received an upgrade and it no longer matches the version at the office.  The IT consultant is not willing to upgrade the office version so I attempted to delete the version at home and reload to match the same version.

I can't seem to get SQL Server Management Studio to load at home.  I think I have loaded SQL but don't see the management studio.  What am I doing wrong or is there a download I am missing?

The office computer indicates version is Microsoft SQL Server Managements Studio 10.0.4064.0

And the system has passed the cluster validation test.

We've tried several times to reset-up everything. But we still end up with the same error message. - Could you please help.

Hello guys, Can anyone please help with this? I was trying to install sql server 2008 r2 express on my system but it keeps failing due to the error with the report below after setup support rules run during installation. This happens when i try to install sql server 2012 as rc0 well. But when i check my wmi, it's actually running on the system. I also did a command to start the service but to no avail, keep coming up with the same failed report. Other services are passed except for the WMI...can anyone please kindly help with this as I desperately need to install sql server on my system? Thank you in advance.

Enabling FILESTREAM on SQL Server 2012 (x64) and Windows 8 (x64)

Hi!

I'm trying to activate FILESTREAM on my SQL Server 2012, however i'm not accomplishing it. I've tried to follow this instructions: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645923.aspx

My SETUP is the following:

  • Windows 8 (64 bit)
  • SQL Server Standard Edition - Service Pack 1 (64 bit)
  • SQL Version: (11.0.3128.0)

When I go to the configuration manager, on the FILESTREAM tab has a message:

"A previous FILESTREAM configuration attempt was incomplete.

FILESTREAM may be in an inconsistent state until re-configured."

If I click Enable FILESTREAM and "Apply", I get the following message:

"There was an unknown error applying the FILESTREAM settings. Check the parameters are valid. (0x80070002)"

I also read somewhere to run "EXEC sp_configure", which produces the result:

"filestream access level - 0 2 2 0"

Running "SELECT SERVERPROPERTY ('FilestreamEffectiveLevel');" returns 0.

What might be the problem?
Thanks.

Unable to start T-SQL Debugging. Could not connect to computer '.'.

Unable to start T-SQL Debugging.  Could not connect to computer '.'. This is usually a temporary error during hostname resolution and means that the local server did not receive a response from an authoritative server.

I'm using Management Studio 2008 with Sql Server 2008 Express.  I can execute queries, but I cannot debug them.  I am a member of the systemadmin role, and my server is using "local system"  as the account.  I am on a domain here at work.

I have seen http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlnetfx/thread/3590e35b-bb2d-45cd-be85-7698b7045be8/, but I am not doing any remote debugging.  I tried running the server under my user name, but still no luck.  I also have my firewall disabled (even though I did enable it and open up the correct ports just-in-case).

It use to work before I uninstalled and re-installed SQLEXPRESS.  What could be the issue?  I've searched everywhere, and so far everything says I should do what I've already tried.  I did have a password change, but changing it several times has not had any effect.

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

When I try to debug queries on the main 2005 sql server, I get:  Cannot execute script.  Additional Information:  Unable to start the Transact-SQL Debugger.  The Transact-SQL Debugger does not support SQL Server 2005 or earlier versions of SQL Server. (SQLEditors).

Moot issue, as I know the reason why this doesn't work.  But queries once-again execute here, but cannot be debugged.


Is it advisable to always apply all SPs to SQL Servver even if optional? If so...

$

Hello!

Is it always advisable to apply every service pack to SQL Server as it's released even if it's optional?  If so, it is a good idea to test it on a non-prod server first?  If we read what the SP contains and we don't have any of the problems it fixes, does that change whether we apply it or not? I'm having a debate with a network administrator who says apply all immediately.  if he's right, I'll change my ways to his ways.

Thanks.

Internal Query Processor Error - During Installation

I am having problem installing SQL Server 2008 R2 express (SP2) , on a Win7 Home Premium pc.

Error occured near the end of the installation process.

The Error message : Internal Query Processor Error : xxx

I checked the event log and found that it actually referencing to e: , but e: is a cdrom.

I am installing from D: , so it doesn't make sense that it refers to e:

I have tried disabling the cdrom drive, so that the e: disappear from "My Computer", but the error still persisted.

Is there any solution for this?

Collation question/advice

$
0
0

Hi All,

I'm looking for some SQL collation advice please? Before I start I should say I'm not a SQL DBA but I'm fairly knowledgeable. I've been tasked with setting up a mixed-purpose SQL 2008 R2 cluster which will host db's for 7 mixed applications. Not ideal I know but bear with me.

The applications I have require the following SQL collations:

SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
*_CI_AS_KS
Latin1_General_CI_AS

As I understand you can set collation at the database but I'm also aware that there can be pitfalls using multiple db collations in one instance. So for the above list, should I be creating 3 instances or is there an instance collation I can set and then set the db's individually?

Also I think I'm correct in saying I'll need to separate cluster storage for each SQL instance I use, is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Pete
