We were recently updated to SQL 2012 which liaises with our tax software.   Every time there is a windows update it turns off the SQL Service, why and how do I stop it doing it?


SQL Server 2008 R2/2012 Native Client & Windows 10

$

Hello,

Is the 'Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client' software supported on 'Windows 10 (Version 1809)'?

Is the 'Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client' software supported on 'Windows 10 (Version 1809)'?

Can the 'Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client' installed on a client PC be used to connect to 'SQL Server 2008 R2' set up on a server (i.e. is it backwards compatible)?

Kind regards,

Glen

VMWare SQL Server 2014 increase Parallelism & Perfomance Issue

$

0

Good day, Please Advise.

1. SQL 2014 Architecture: VMWare, OS Windows 2012, SQL Enterprise 2014, 2 Sockets*8 Processors=16 CPU, 64GB RAM

The server performs fine doing sequential activity but Parallelism it struggles. Initially we had the MAXDOP options set but we experience bad performance hence why I am thinking of adding more CPU & RAM

2. what can I do from a hardware perspective to increase performance (sql2016 next year)

I compared the CPU to 2 servers below, On bottom Left is Main Server compared to bottom right. 4 sockets has better performance and has increased maximum memory allocated.

Kindly advise by adding cpu like image on bottom right with increased maximum memory setting  would increase performance




Cluster IPs Switching

Dear All,

I have cluster node with 2 IPs, one active and the other one is passive. When i do NSLOOKUP i get the 2 IPs, when i ping the cluster name, then its pining the passive IP not the active IP, it should ping the active IP ( passive IP not pining - request time out). I did delete both A records in DNS then it worked fine, but after a while it went back to the passive IP again. What i need is when i ping the cluster note it must ping the active IP.

Thank you

Can any body help me to sort out this error?

I recently had our SQL updated to 2012 and now everytime there is a Windows Update the SQL server does not run.  I have to go into the configuration and manually start it.  This never happened in 8, so why is this happening now and how do I cure it?

Need access to old media (SQL Server 2005 service pack 2)

$

We are in the process of moving our datacenter to a different location.  In order to facilitate that move we have to make some changes to our virtual machines.  One of our virtual machines is failing when we try to make the change.  The thought our systems team had was to create a new system exactly like it, but with the changes we needed.  It is a great idea, but unfortunately the application that runs on there is very old and has SQL Server 2005 SP2 as its backend.  We have the SQL Server 2005 media, but not the service pack that it is running.  I tried looking on the Microsoft site for that service pack, but it is not available because it is out of support.  Would you be able to see if you can get the SQL Server 2005 service pack 2 media for us?  This would be greatly appreciated because we are running out of ideas on how to get this system compatible with our move.  The team that owns that application is working on moving off of it to a new application, but they won't be completely migrated by the time we have to move.

SQL Server Linux Ubuntu

Hi,

Can I ask why the official documentation for installing SQL Server for Linux on Ubuntu, specifically specifies version 16.04, when users seems to have had no issues with 18.04 (For example):

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/92235bab-86a8-4aa5-ba78-2837656d99de/is-there-any-way-to-install-the-product-on-ubuntu-1810?forum=sqlsetupandupgrade

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/quickstart-install-connect-ubuntu?view=sql-server-ver15

Is there anything specific which is holding Microsoft back from officially supporting 18.04?

Thanks

Firstly, I searched this forum and saw referrals to an SQL licensing specialist. If it's the same answer please let me know how I find an SQL license specialist.

I have an Action Pack subscription that confers the following rights:

Can anyone explain what this gives us to enable us to run SQL internally? 
I have read the guide here https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/8/C/78CDF005-97C1-4129-926B-CE4A6FE92CF5/SQL_Server_2017_Licensing_guide.pdf but don't understand if we have ability to run in per cal model (as there is no Server licence and the CALs show as Benefit type CORE) or in per core model, where a minimum of 4 licences are required.  Do we have 2 x 4 licences or just 2 in total, in which case how could this ever be enough to run SQL 2017?

The support people on Microsoft Partner Network have referred me here so please don't refer me back to them as they are unable to help.

Many thanks in advance

I am trying to install KB3171021 (SQL Server 2014 SP2) on my production SQL box.  It fails with Code 851A0042.

This is the only information in the Event Log: Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070643: Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Service Pack 2 (KB3171021).

I have verified the system and SQL server program disk have space on them.

StretchDB creating error

I succeeded to set up StretchDB before this month, but it was failed this month.

I have tried using both wizard and command for StretchDB, both error message from SSMS and the log of StretchDB wizard (Path =C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Sql Server\StretchWizardLogs) are about "Gen1 Data Warehouse has been deprecated in this region. Please leverage Gen2 Data Warehouse".

I used South East Asia SQL2016 Dev edition VM and South East Asia Azure SQL Database Standard SKU this time, and Azure documentation said South East Asia already became Generation 2 since 2019/6/1.

How can I resolve this environmental problem? Thanks!

How to install SQL Server LocalDB with my application?

I have developed an application in vb.net 4.5 with VS2015 and I am using InstallShield Limited Edition to create the MSI installation file.

Some of the final users don't have internet, so I need to include the SQLLocalDB.msi and install it silently.

I can't find a single sample for this, it should be a common scenario right?

Hi, 

Since I installed ssms 18.x, I have trouble when I want to create a new extended session, following theses steps "management->Extended Event->Sessions" click right on "new session." When the dialog box is open, I click on "events."  and the list of events remains desperately empty.
I make a screenshot see below.
I already tried to uninstall and install again(with a reboot).
I tried to re-install the french edition with the same issues.

Oops...
