Hi mtech,
When I open Import and Export Data(64-bit), I choose “flat file source”.
Maybe you could try to reinstall it.

SQL Server 2012: Import and Export Wizard - Exporting Multiple Result Sets at Once?

I'm working in SQL Server 2012 trying to export some data from our database into an Excel file. My SQL statement has two separate Select statements. They are not joined by a union. When I Execute them inside of SQL Server Management Studio, with Results
set to go to a Grid, I get two result sets back. Two full tables of data.
However, when I use the Import and Export Wizard, the Excel sheet only has the first set of data.
What do I need to do to have it so both result sets show up in the excel file?

Why cant use merge them using union/union all if intention is to get them to same sheet? Is it like the metadata is different so that they cant be merged to single sheet?
If that being the case you need to do it in two steps.

Issue while importing table from oracle to sql server using import and export wizard

Hi All,
I am trying to populate oracle table to sql server using import export wizard and i am getting the below error.the table is allready present in the database but still it throwing error like table doesn't exists.
Could not connect source component.
Error 0xc0202009: Source - JOB_ACTION_HISTORY [1]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.

Kindly help me out
Thanks in advance

Hi Snehasis,
Please check whether the table name in the Oracle database has lower case letters. The table name should be exactly correct.
In addition, the issue might be related to the Oracle driver. What provider/driver do you use? If you use Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle, you can try the
Oracle OLE DB Provider. If you use Enterprise or Developer edition of SSIS 2008 or higher, you can also try the
Microsoft Connectors for Oracle by Attunity. The Oracle OLE DB Provider and Microsoft Connectors for Oracle are proved to have better performance.

SQL Server 2012 installation and to default user database files to a particular path

Hi, I am working on SQL Server 2012 installation on one of our test boxes and I would like to configure the sql server install binaries and all the system databases but for tempdb to be in my C and tempdb on a different drive and once all this is set up,
whenever a developer creates a new database without specifying the path for the mdf & ldf files. They should be defaulted to a path like "D:/Data file" & "D:/Log file" for instance instead of being created on the C drive.
Thanks in advance.........
Ione

Hi,
You can of course set default location of database through management Studio please refer below link. Once you change default location even if you do not specify location it would take default one.
http://sqlandme.com/2013/03/18/sql-server-changing-default-database-location-for-server/
I would advise you not to keep files on C drive let it be dedicated system drive also its quite possible that SQL server service account would not have privilege on C drive so after you move tempdb SQL server would not come online as tempdb files cannot
be created . Tempdb is always recreated after SQL Server starts so you just need to change location once using Alter database command
See example mentioned in below link for how to do that

Hi astro,
Please ensure that you haven’t renamed or moved the destination excel file during the exporting process. Also make sure that “Create destination table” option is checked as below screenshot and the SQL statement is correct.

Error message using SQL import and Export Wizard with Excel spread sheet

I am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet using the Import export wizard that is provided with SQL 2014.
Everything seems to set up OK but then when I go to do the transfer "error message" comes up saying:
External Table is not in the expected format.(Microsoft Jet Database Engine).
This is a spreadsheet and there is no database, that is why I want to import it into a database!! So the reference to JET is a tad disappointing.
So why the error and how do I fix the problem?
As there are over 100 variables in the spread sheet rows, it would be great to have this automatically create the database and populate the fields.
I am using SQL 2014 Express and Office Excel 2013.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this, and hopefully sheading some light on the issue.

Hi AWlcurrent,
When import a .xlsx file to SQL Server using SQL Server Import and Export Wizard, you see a “External Table is not in the expected format.(Microsoft Jet Database Engine).” error message. This error message seems that the Microsoft JET Database Engine is
unable to handle something that is contained in the file.
So please make sure there is no unsupported content in the Excel file. Alternatively, we can use ‘Microsoft Excel’ as the Data Source, then Select ‘Microsoft Excel 2007’ as the Excel version to import the excel file.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Hi Smash126,
Based on the error message” Could not allocate a new page for database REPORTING' because of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY'. Create the necessary space by dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting
autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup”, we can know that the issue is caused by the there is no sufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY' for the ‘REPORTING’ database.
To fix this issue, we can add additional files to the filegroup by add a new file to the PRIMARY filegroup on Files page, or setting Autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup to increase the necessary space.

Looking for a program that can handel import and export of palm doc files

I am looking for a program that can handel the import and export of palm doc Files that can convert them to to either txt or RTF files for Vista 32, running Palm Desktop 7.1.
Could anyone give me a few suggestions of any plug-ins that would be good me?
Hearns
Post relates to: Palm IIIxe
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Ok, you need to clean uninstall Palm desktop 6.2. Install Palm desktop 4.1.4 and download and install documents to go version 6.
Here are the clean uninstall instructioins for Vista.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. Use the username that is on the handheld.

SQL Server 2012 Import-Module 'sqlps' breaks the "Test-Path" PowerShell cmdlet

I've run into something that is "very" frustrating with the new SQL Server 2012 PowerShell module. When I Import the module, it breaks the "Test-Path" cmdlet when trying to test a UNC path to a directory.
For example:
"Test-Path -path \\server\dirname" returns true as expected before the sqlps module is imported. But after you import the SQL Server module "Import-Module 'sqlps' –DisableNameChecking" the same Test-Path
now returns false.
If I run the following in Windows PowerShell ISE I see the following results:
Test-Path -path "\\server\directoryname"
Import-Module 'sqlps' –DisableNameChecking
Test-Path -path "\\server\directoryname"
True
False
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
UPDATE: after more testing, it looks like the problem happens with any cmdlet that references a UNC. The New-Item has the same problem. Before importing 'sqlps', New-Item is able to create a directory at the UNC path specified, but ater importing
'sqlps', the New-Item fails.
Thanks!

Hi Mikea730,
Sqlps.exe doesn't take advantage of a couple of these nice PowerShell V2 cmdlets without doing a bit of configuring in your environment.
Please refer to the following references to make some configuration in your server

SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services Deployment Wizard broken after SP1

I have installed SQL Server 2012 SP1, now I cannot edit Data Source Connection Strings anymore in the Deployment Wizard.
When clicking the button labeled "..." I get an error "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI, Version=8.0.0.0' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference".
This happened on two different 2008 R2 servers and local windows 7 desktop, SP1 Cumulative Update 1 does not fix the error.
Please help!

I managed to fix it by modifying the Workaround from Microsoft a bit.
Microsoft Fix: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2809127/
Summary of fix:
Open the following configuration file in a text editor, such as Notepad, as an administrator:
<var class="sbody-var" style="box-sizing:border-box;"><system drive>:</var>\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Deployment.exe.config
2. Insert the runtime XML tags after the </startup> tag in the configuration section:<configuration>
<startup>
<requiredRuntime version="v4.0.30319" safemode="true" />
</startup>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.0.0-9.0.0.0" newVersion="10.0.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI.Dialog" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.0.0-9.0.0.0" newVersion="10.0.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>
What i did to make it work:
<configuration>
<startup>
<requiredRuntime version="v4.0.30319" safemode="true" />
</startup>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.0.0.0" newVersion="8.0.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI.Dialog" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.0.0.0" newVersion="8.0.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>
Instead of redirecting from version 8 and 9 to 10, i reverted it and made sure it uses version 8.

SQL Server 2012 Standard and hyperthreading core count

I have 2 Intel E5-2640 v2 processors for my SQL Server 2012 Standard server. Each processor has 8 cores and has hyper threading so it has 16 logical cores. Will SQL standard be able to use hyper threading? Since it has a 16 core limit, does it see hyper
threading as an extra core or will it only look at the 8 cores each processor has?

Ignoring licencing, Standard version can only use up to 16 cores. In my case I have 16 cores but 32 logical cores. Will the Standard edition only use the first 16 logical processors or will it use all logical cores since I have 16 physical cores
that just happens to have hyper threading?
As per my understanding whatever is less than 16, Physical core or logical core will use that .But I am not sure best answer would be from Microsoft.
Reading there below statement .
'When hyper-threading is enabled, the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) uses a logical to physical CPU ratio. Current implementations are using 2:1 ratios. This means that there are two (2) logical CPUs for each physical CPU. These ratios may change in the
future; however, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3) and later versions have additional licensing code that adjusts the licensing restrictions to handle the ratio. For example,
if the SQL Server product code that you have installed permits a 4 CPU license at a 2:1 ratio, the SQL Server 2000 SP3 build and later builds adjust and let you use 8 CPUs.
So it says if you have license for 4 CPU but if it is hyperthreaded it can use 8.But again if number goes over 16 for standard edition I guess it would not use above 16.So in your case Enabling hyperthreading would have no use.
NOTE: This is complex discussion and correct answer would be what Microsoft says :)

Remove only SQL Server 2012 Standard and keep Express 2012

Hi everybody, We have installed both SQL 2012 Express and SQL 2012 Standard (licensed). All our instances which we need are running fine on the Express version.
I’m having problems uninstalling the licensed SQL 2012 Standard one. When starting the uninstall process I cannot see which server I’m removing.
My question is: how I can only for sure! remove the SQL 2012 Standard version and keep the Express 2012 working?
Greetings. TIA
win_builder

Hi,
To remove instance of SQL Server you have to go to Add remove program and search for
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (64 bit)
Then right click on it and select Uninstall/Change and screen will appear where you have to select REMOVE
then click on remove and below screen will appear
From above see the drop down , select SQL Server standard instance you want to remove. In your case it would be standard edition
On next page select features you want to remove
bThen Next... Next and you would remove SQL Server standard
Edit:
You can also uninstall from command line as below
Setup.exe /Action=Uninstall /FEATURES=SQL,AS,RS,IS,Tools /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER
Here /features is features you want to uninstall
/instancename is instance name of your standard edition
Please read Uninstall Section in below link

SQL Server 2012 software and licencing

Hi folks,
We've purchased some per core licences for a SQL 2012 install.
When I try to install SQL 2012 I get asked to put in a licence key or choose evaluation, but all we have is paperwork proving the purchase of the licences, we were told we wouldn't be provided with a key.
The only way I know of to install the software without needing a key is if I download a copy from MSDN.
Am I OK to use an MSDN copy in production if we have the paper licences or should we be using a different software source?
If we can't are there copies of the SQL software available that doesn't need a key and is specifically for the above situation?
Thanks for any help on this,
Regards,
CJ

Hello,
This is a community forum for technical questions & issues.
For question regarding pricing / licensing please contact a Microsoft sales partner or licensing expert.
Call (1-800-426-9400), Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM PST to speak directly to Microsoft licensing specialist.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/sql-server/buy.aspx
But in common you should get the license key from the shop where you have purchased the license.
