Hello,

I am attempting to install SQL Server Express (I have tried both 2012 and 2014 versions) in a Windows 7 environment, and I continually receive 997 error "Overlapped I/O operation in progress" I have searched for hours, and have found virtually no content that provides any explanation of the error, how to troubleshoot it, or how to successfully navigate this error. 

Does anyone have any guidance? Thank you in advance.


SQL Server 2008 R2 - Cannot remove 50th instance with command line uninstall

I have reached the 50 instance SQL Server limit on my Microsoft Server 2008.  I have tried to remove an existing instance using the command line below but it still is reporting that "No more transforms are available because the maximum 50 has been reached." and the uninstall is hanging on Select Features.  Some of the instances on this server are for SQL Server 2008 and some are for R2.  Where do I go from here?

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Upgrade Advisor

I like to install SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 on the same machine that has SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 version. What is the right approach to do that? Should I uninstall the existing version first then install the new version or I can directly install the new version?

Optimal Locations for SQL 2005 TempDB & ReportServerTempDB MDF & LDF Files

$
0
0

Hello.  I have SQL Server 2005 SP4 installed on Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard SP2. The server has four CPU cores.  The server was configured with the following drive configuration.

               RAID 1 - System drive

               RAID 5 - SQL MDF files

               RAID 1 - SQL LDF files

There is currently one of each of the following files on the server. The MDF files are on the RAID 5 array, while the LDF files are on the RAID1 array for SQL LDF files.

               TempDB.mdf                                    ReportServerTempDB.mdf

               TempLog.ldf                                     ReportServerTempDB_log.ldf

It is my understanding that having one TempDB per core is a best practice, so I should create three more TempDB’s. Does that also apply to ReportServerTempDB?  Given the drive configuration of this server, where should all of the required MDF and LDF files for the TempDB’s and ReportServerTempDB’s be located?


Can you change toolbar button images in SQL Server 2012?

$
0
0

In SQL Server 2012 management studio I do not see an option to change the button image of the buttons on the toolbar.

In previous versions of SQL, you could go to Tools --> Customize --> Rearrange Commands, select the toolbar, click on a command and then click "Modify Selection". One of the resulting choices was "Change Button Image". You could choose a different image for the toolbar button you selected. Another choice was "Edit Button Image" which allowed you to create a completely new image for your toolbar button.

I do not see any way to do this in SQL Server 2012. Has this functionality been removed or am I just not finding it?

Thanks,

Alan

New server setup with Sequel Server

Hi there everyone,

We are wanting to setup a new server with sequel server 2012 and I wanted to know is sequel server the total platform or does it need windows server as well?  I am not that familiar with sequel server 2012  I also wanted to know if SQL server 2012 has an automatic backup setup available?  I know a little about SQL server 7 express which has a backup within it but has to be run manually each day except if you use another plugin which requires a lot of space which we don't have, another reason for a new server.

Thanks in advance

Virtual Processors and NUMA

$

We have an SQL 2014 virtualised server running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 failover cluster.

At present SQL has 1 virtual processor assigned to it.  Each host in our two host cluster has 2 sockets with 8 cores, giving 16 virtual processors.  In a nutshell how many virtual processors is it recommended to assign to SQL and from that point what are the recommendations for configuring NUMA?

We are a small research unit, not google, so our requirements are fairly modest.

I know this is a really generalistic question, but any "general" advice would be great. 

Regards

Ian

I need to support both SQL Server 2012 and 2014 environments (RDBMS, SSAS, SSIS, SSRS) and want to install developer edition on my PC. Do I need to install both versions?

Also, I've been to the Microsoft Store and see that Developer 2012 is out of stock. If I need it, where can I get it?

Thanks!

non-yielding process issue on sql server 2005 sp2

$

Hi.

We ran into the non-yielding process issue on our sql server 2005 SP2 server this morning, and I was wondering if it would be best to upgrade in dev to sql server 2005 SP3 and then cumulative update 10 and 13, or upgrade to sql server 2005 sp4 and then cumulative update 2.

I'm leaning toward SP4, since it's got a lot of other fixes, and minimizes risk by having fewer updates, but would really appreciate confirmation about this, as well as details on upgrade steps, since the release notes don't go into details, such as whether we need to shutdown sql server first, or not.

I realize 2005 is very old, and we're planning on migrating the apps running on this server to our later versions, but there are hundreds of reports that need to be modified and/or tested first.

It's a pain that the books online weren't updated with SP4, and I didn't want to have any issues during the upgrade, or after.

I'd really appreciate any advice, etc. you have for me.


Slow multi-instance upgrade CU4 2014 (from CU3 2014)

I have 8 instances of 2014 Enterprise edition installed on a machine (clustered using AlwaysOn to two other machines).

When the upgrade runs across all instances it pauses for a very long period between each instance, displaying the message 'Closing the wizard'.

The database is already upgraded and can be queried.

What is the installer doing? Is there a workaround to speed it up?

Hi,

I have recently installed CU10 on SQL Server 2012. Now If I install SP2 which contains SP1 and CU9, does it rollback CU10? Is there any extra/known benefit which I can get by installing SP2 apart from the fixes it includes.

Please suggest what should I do?

we have generated our .exe file by adding prerequisite  in setup project and prerequisite (sql server 2005 Express sp2 (x86)) works for windows xp. But we are facing an issue while we install prerequisite (sql server 2005 Express sp2 (x86))  not working in windows 7 64 bit and 32  bit operating system. We have added prerequisite (sql server 2005 Express sp2 (x86)) using visual studio 2010.While we install prerequisite (sql server 2005 Express sp2 (x86)) in windows 7 we getting error like " Prerequisite check for system component SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 (x86) failed with the following error message:
"This version of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (x86) is not supported for the current processor architecture."
See the setup log file located at 'C:\Users\BS-90\AppData\Local\Temp\VSDCFFC.tmp\install.log' for more information.
  ". We need only sql server 2005 express edition to be installed but not sql server 2008 express edition to be placed as prerequisite for our application because our .mdf file supports sql server 2005 express edition only.

Hi all, 

I know there is the age long war between getting Visual Studio and the BI templates BIDS, SSDT versions in sync.  I have visual studio 2010 professional and need to install the BI templates ASAP.  I need to import a SSRS report and deploy to Dynamics AX 2012 (Vis studio 2010 has dynamics extensions).  What version of SQL 2012? do I need to install this? and will installing it overwrite any of my existing VS 2010 stuff?  Waiting for the day when Vis Studio and SQL are in the same product and you just turn on/off what you want...
