Hi,

I'm not sure about my question's category, but, as it's probably a configuration issue, I think "SQL Server Setup" is ok.

I have a SQL Server 2014 Std on a virtual Machine (Server 2012R2 / Hyper-V 3).

I've got a huge stored procedure called from another server.

Each time the procedure was called, the processor's load reached 100% usage, and of course, my procedure was very slow.

I tried to add virtual processor to my VM (from 1 virtual processor to 4).

When I look into the task manager, my stored procedure doesn't take 100% of my processor but I don't feel any gain in performance.

When I look into performance monitor, I can see % time processor and % time user reach 25% as soon as I call my stored procedure

My guess is that only one of my 4 virtual processor is used to execute this request.

My SQL Server has pretty much a default configuration.

Do you have any idea (if you think I'm right about my problem) how to share the load of this request to my 4 virtual processor?

If you think I'm wrong, can you think about anything that could help me ?

Best Regards,

I am seeking assistance installing or repairing HelpViewer 1.1 installed with SQL Server 2014. 

I receive the following error when choosing “I want to use local settings” option from Help Library Manager,

This page can’t be displayed

• Make sure the web address http://127.0.0.1:47873 is correct
• Look for the page with your search engine
• Refresh the page in a few minutes

I attempted repairing the help viewer by executing the installation file found at

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Help Viewer\v1.0\Microsoft Help Viewer 1.1\install.exe

and choosing the REPAIR option.  The repair function completes; however, the error remains.

I examined the SQL 2014 installation disc and found nothing useful under the Maintenance/ Repair topic. I really do not look forward to a complete reinstall of SQL server and components so I may use local help files.

Please, anyone with insight or suggestions, I am happy the hear from you.

Thanks

Hi, my SQL Server 2014 is working fine in my server with WIndows 2012 until I installed new updates & service pack that was required for server hardening. 

I installed successfully SP1 KB 3058865 first then found out that the services wont start. After so many research for fix, i came with the 2 cu updates KB3075950, KB3094221 knowing that this could solve my problem but unfortunately its not.

I also tried changing the account of the services that many would suggest but its not working.

I tried replacing the master & maslog file but also failed.

I tried running it in single usermode and restore master db and etc.. also failed.

heres the log file:

Hi,

I just did a new install of SQL Server 2012 Standard with SP2 (64 bit). I downloaded SP3 from Microsoft and when I install it during the extraction process get error "Extraction Failed: The operation was cancelled by the user".

I rebooted tried it again and it failed. I downloaded it again and the install had the same result.

Thanks in advance!

Hello!

I´ve got a simple question about the sql server installation process. (SQL Server 2012 / 2014)

Is it recomemded to change the "instance root directory" to another drive than c:\ ?

It´s clear to seperate the data-files from c:\ - but when I change the "instance root directory",

then the Binaries from SQL Server move to that drive.

Thanx in advance!

Greetings

Karsten

We have an sql server 2008 database that has been in service for nearly 3 years.  The users of the database are in the states.  Recently, we received some company name data that contained extended ASCII characters, such as, Ç (0xc7), Ã (0xc3), '.' (0xa0).  The database mangled the characters, including increasing the number of bytes.

What are the best practices for handling the extended ASCII?  Should they be converted to something close in regular ASCII, like C and A in the above example?  Or is there a setting that enables sql server to treat these extended characters correctly. If it's a setting, is it safe to apply and what is the best way to apply the steps.

I've been trying to test/run/debug an existing Wordpress Site(which I didn't create) with Visual Studio for the last few days. I have added the php extensions. The debugger started working once I had added beta 8. However, I still can't run the site locally on my computer. 

As suggested by the php extension people, I downloaded mySQL. They suggested that I use a local version of mySQL for developing purposes instead of using the one that is on the live website. I then changed the wp-config.php file name in the hopes that this would force visual studio to reconfigure the WordPress site. No such luck. 

I added MySQL as a data source within the "Server Explorer" panel. I can see my computer as the server. I also added Message Queuing (MSMQ) as that had a red X next to it within the server's panel and from forums online, it seemed like this had something to do with passing data. There is no red X, but I still can't run the website locally. 

Right now, when I try to run the website in the browser, I get the words: Error Establishing a Database Connection. I can finally see the favicon in the browser, but I have no idea how it got there or why nothing else is showing up. 

If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it. This is driving me crazy. 

Thanks,

Kelsey

Hi,

I have SQL 2012 on Server 2008 R2.  When running a security patch for SQL on it, the progress meter shows that files are being extracted. The files are extracted and a shell pops up for a second and then closes.  After that, the temporary files are deleted and nothing further happens.  There are no entries in the 110/setup bootstrap/logs folder.  Any ideas on where to look or what to try?  I ran a repair on the install and same behavior.

Thanks

We currently have a user database with the combined size of (including filegroups) of about 1.8 tb. SQL2k15 version. We want to first migrate the storage location to a new faster storage hardware before deciding to upgrade the SQL server version to SQL2k14. Here are my questions:

1. Our management wants to simply by consolidating the filegroups (15 total) into one .mdf file thinking that the higher performing new storage will compensate for performance degrading due to combination of filegroups into one .mdf file. Can this be done and if so, steps please. Of course, we will maintain separate drives for tempdb, templog, transaction logs and data (mdf) files. Basically, the goal is to take out the multiple filegroups.

2. Can we reduce the number of filegroups into say 5 instead of 15 (still allocate different drives) and if so, how can we merge some of the filegroups? Again, steps please.

Will greatly appreciate your early response.

Thanks.

Hi everybody,

I am trying to install SQL Server 2014 on windows 10. Once the installer wizard starts installing, I get the following message:

There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this installation to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

I have already searched the web and tried every solution I could find (running as administator, changing the permissions for certain folders and re-installing). Any suggestions are welcome.

The last install log reports the following:

Hi I am trying to upgrade from sql server express 2008 to SQL server standard version 2014, and keep getting stuck at the preinstall upgrade advisor.  It is giving me a score of 90. I tried going back to SQL server 2012, and received the same error message.  Wondering how I get around this.   Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

Hi,

Our spt_values view is missing on our SQL 2012 server.  I tried running the u_tables.sql file to fix it, but I get the following error:

Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spt_values, Line 7
Invalid object name 'sys.spt_values'.
sp_MS_marksystemobject: Invalid object name 'spt_values'
Msg 15151, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot find the object 'spt_values', because it does not exist or you do not have permission

How can we fix this on 2012?

Thanks!

I'm running SQL Server 2014 Developer on a Windows 10 64-bit computer. Before to day all was good. Today none of my applications that use SQL Server can connect. Also I can't connect using the  Management Studio. I tried going to Program and Features and running a repair on "Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Setup (English), and that didn't help. Here's the error I get in the Management Studio.

Hi,

I have a Windows7 64 bit machine.

I have installed Visual Studio 2010 professional on it. it gave an popup error message of microsoft .net framework cas policy manager has stopped working while installing, but when I clicked cancel it install the remaining tools. On the last screen it  showed error related to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Service Pack 1 (x64).

I checked that Visual studio and TFS installed correctly.

My issue started when I tried to install SQl Server 2008R2. As I clicked on the SetUp.Exe, it again gave me error of microsoft .net framework cas policy manager has stopped workingand not going any further.

I tried below options to solve it, but nothing work-

a) Uninstall VS2010

b) Disable/Enable the .NET framework 3.5.1.

c) Apply a fresh copy of installation media.

d) Verify the .NET framework 3.5 with .NET setup verification tool.

Please suggest some solution for it.

We are testing san application to mimic multiple locales, like UK, Germany, US etc

Changing the OS locale is simple. How do I change the SQL locale to reflect different countries?

The difference in locale can be seen as below grid

Hi,

I have several data bases on a server (SQL Server 2000 only, no web server installed) and lately, as the company keeps gowing, my users complain saying the server gets slow, (this dbs are well designed and recieve optimizations and integrity checks, etc) because of this, Im thinking about getting a new server to repleace my old ProLiant ML 330 which was bought 4 years ago but Im concerned about what server arquitecture or characteristic can help me best to improve response performance, is it HD speed? Processor speed? or more Ram? I want to make a good decision, so I´d really appreciate your help...

Thanks, Luis Luevano

Hi ,

I need some help in regarding .. unattended installation of sql server lite speed...

any ideas... please share...

Thanks in advance..

We are in the process of purchasing a new SQL Server. It will initially run 64 Bit SQL 2008 Standard R2 but we will eventually upgrade to 2012. It will have 48 GB RAM with RAID 1 OS, RAID 10 data and RAID 10 logs; all 15,000 RPM drives. The server handles the back-end for our (relatively small) 60 user in-house manufacturing system. I have been given the option of the following two processors:

2 x Xeon X5675                 6 Cores                 12 Threads          12 MB Cache      3.46 GHz
2 x Xeon E7-2830              8 Cores                 16 Threads          24 MB Cache      2.13 GHz

Considering the size of our system, would it be more beneficial (performance wise) to go with the faster clock speed processor (X5675) or the processor with more cores, threads and cache (E7-2830)? I.e. in our situation would SQL utilize more cores, threads and cache.
