Alternative for Cursor in SQL Server 2012

Hi all,
I keen to know Alternative for Cursor in SQL Server 2012. Why everyone telling Cursor have performance impact. Any other alternative for row by row comparison like Array in SQL 2012 ?
Thanks

It is not the cursor that kills you - it is the loop as such. I've seen more than one example of a poor man's cursor, where they have selected TOP 1 from a #temp ORDER BY, and several operations on the temp table - which is completely void of indexes,
making the operations for the loop control the slowest in the batch. So you use cursor when you need to iterate.
But in many cases, you should work and think set-based instead.

Using WMI alert for mirroring in Sql server 2012

We are using mirroring in Sql Server 2012 and we are using WMI alerts for some of events such as Connection lost,Manual failover,...
In alert definition we have set the followings:
Type: WMI event alert
NameSpace:
\\.\root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ServerEvents\MSSQLSERVER
Query: select * from DATABASE_MIRRORING_STATE_CHANGE where State = 6
The alert is bing triggered correctly,but on email description instead of having meaningful explaination like 'Connection lost',We have the same query:
Query: select * from DATABASE_MIRRORING_STATE_CHANGE where State = 6
We have used the same implementation in our Sql Server 2008 servers and it is working fine.This mashine (Sql Server 2012) is a new mashine.
I would appreciate if someone help me on this.AlsoI checked and 'Include body of e-mail in notification message' was already set.
Thanks

How can I make one computer server at Home for access of SQL Server 2012/2008

Hi All,
Sorry for this basic question but I am zero in networking. I will be very grateful if someone guides what should I do to make one of my home PC as server. Scenario is as follows:
I want to give training to few students about SQL SERVER T-SQL.
I have one Laptop using SQL Server 2012 having Windows 7 Pro(Laptop Master-want to make this server). I have other laptop running Windows 7 pro and got SQL SERVER 2008. My students have mix of laptops including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows
8. All students have SQL SERVER 2008 installed and working.
Q1: I actually want to make Laptop Master(explained in above paragraph) as server and want other laptops to access that master server in home network. I will install sample exercise database on server and students will be writing queries to access
data.
Q2: can I secure sample database from students who can copy sample database from server?
Q3: can students run queries remotely sitting their home?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards

Hi itsadnan,
According to your description, if you want to make your Laptop as Server, and your student can log in your SQL Server 2012 instance, you need to ensure that your computer and student’s computers are the same domain, and you enable TCP/IP, name pipes protocol
in SQL Server Configuration Manager, your SQL Server 2012 instance is allowed to connect remotely and your student install SQL Server Manager Studio 2012 as client tool in their computer, and you create the related login name for your students. For more information,
see:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/walzenbach/archive/2010/04/14/how-to-enable-remote-connections-in-sql-server-2008.aspx
According to your requirement, in actual, since your students install SQL Server 2008 on their computer, you totally can ask your student to install the sample exercise database in their SQL Server. For example, there are many resource about sample database
in Website, which is helpful for student to learn database technology, such as
AdventureWorks databases for SQL Server 2008. From SQL Server Management Studio, they can attach an AdventureWorks database, then write queries to access data.
Since you have SQL Server 2008 in your other laptop, you can create the sample exercise database, and student can install this database via backup and restore, then write queries to access data and send to you for checking if it is right.
Note: Due to backwards compatibility, The students could not restore SQL Server 2012 database in their SQL Server 2008 instance.

No tabular entries appear under BI for SSDT in SQL Server 2012 SP1

Missing "Analysis Services Tabular Project", "Import From PowerPivot" and "Import From Server (Tabular)"

SQL Server 2012 support

Does anyone know of any official statements regarding the running of SharePoint Server 2007 over SQL Server 2012? Or if no official statements, has anyone tried it yet?
Actually, I have the same question with regard to Windows Server 2012, if anyone knows anything about SharePoint Server 2007 support for that as well.
Thanks.

I haven't heard of any news or information from Microsoft about plans for support of SQL Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 with SharePoint 2007, so the best source that I know to look at is their official TechNet documentation on software requirements for
the platform:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485(v=office.12).aspx. That article states that it is supported on SQL Server versions 2000 through 2008 R2 and Windows Server versions 2003 through 2008 R2, as long as you keep SharePoint 2007 updated to
the proper service packs to support the given version (believe the R2 versions of the 2008 OS and Database engine both require at least SharePoint 2007 Service Pack 2).
There's not any information on the Service Pack 3 that indicates that it includes compatibility with the 2012 releases of Windows Server and SQL Server, so I don't think that's a possibility.
This is just my opinion, but I really don't think you're going to see compatibility with the 2012 releases happening for SharePoint 2007, for a couple of reasons. First, Microsoft's focus is on SharePoint 2010 and potential future releases for the SharePoint
platform. There are a lot of rumblings out there right now that vNext is rapidly approaching on the horizon, and in the past at times like this Microsoft has a track record of really not paying a whole lot of attention to vCurrent -1. The other reason is that
from a business standpoint Microsoft like to structure its software so that when a customer does an upgrade of one platform or system they often have to bring others along for the ride as well. In this case, if you want SharePoint 2007 to use those new OS
and SQL versions you're probably going to have to also upgrade SharePoint to 2010 to get it.
I know it can be frustrating, but that's how Microsoft approaches things and if we want to use their software those are the rules we have to abide by.

Finalizing SQL Server 2012 SP2 update

Hi,
   I just successfully upgraded SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition from SP1 CU8 to SP2.
   Here is the actual portrait I have in my control panel (Installed programs + version):
       Version changed after SP2 update (through Windows Update):
         Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB                          11.2.5058.0
        Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Transact-SQL ScriptDom              11.2.5058.0
        Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Transact-SQL Compiler Service    11.2.5058.0
        Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client                                11.2.5058.0
        Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Policies
11.2.5058.0
        Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Setup (English)                            11.2.5058.0
        Microsoft VSS Writer for SQL Server 2012                              11.2.5058.0
        Microsoft System CLR Types for SQL Server 2012                  11.2.5058.0
        SQL Server Browser for SQL Server 2012                               11.2.5058.0
      Version changed only after installing corresponding Features Pack component:
     Microsoft SQL Server 2012 T-SQL Language Service              11.2.5058.0
     SQL Server Report Builder 3 for SQL Server 2012                11.2.5058.0
     Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Objects                   11.2.5058.0
      Version did not change:
     Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types                                10.51.2500.0
     Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Data-Tier App Framework            11.1.2902.0
My questions:
1. Am I missing any components update or is my actual SP2 setup OK?
2. Even if I tried to install DACFramework SP2 Feature pack by running corresponding installer, it told me that I had an higher version... Does any of you have a different version number for this component?
3. I actually have SSDT for VS2010 installed. The corresponding versions I actually have are the following:
           Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools 2010
10.3.31009.2
           Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - enu
10.3.31009.2
           Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Build Utilities - enu             10.3.31009.2
    Should I consider upgrading any component so they work with SQL 2012 SP2 properly? If so, could someone provide me the corresponding download/webpage links?
4. Finally, should I upgrade to CU2 which is actually available. Among other problems, I notice that it should fix an index rebuild problem. Any other major issues it targets? Is there any easy way I can test if I should install this update or
not?
Thanks for helping.

Hi again,
I knew I was at SP2 level now. My request is more about the Features Pack components as well as the CU2 which is actually out:
1- Features Pack components that I couldn't update:
     Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types                                10.51.2500.0
--> presume was for VS2008
     Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Data-Tier App Framework            11.1.2902.0       --> is this the real last version?
2- SQL Server Data Tools vs Visual Studio 2010 SP1 + SQL Server 2012 SP2
           Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools 2010
10.3.31009.2
           Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - enu
10.3.31009.2
           Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Build Utilities - enu             10.3.31009.2
    Do I have the last versions possible (VS2010) or should I update something?
3- SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU2
    What simple test can I do in order to verify if I really need to install this patch or not?
Thanks for helping!

SQL Server 2012 Express SP1 will not install on Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2

I have been attempting to install SQL Server 2012 with SP1 Express Edition for about a two weeks and have been unsuccessful. My organization recently purchased a new Dell PowerEdge T320 Server (64 Bit) with Intel Xeon Proc.-E5-2420; 2.2Ghz, 32 Gb RAM,
1 Tb RAID 5 H/D, and Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials (preinstalled). The server will be configured as an on premises server. We are running a small church management application that requires SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express. Per the direction
of our application vendor, we downloaded the SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express file (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe) from the Microsoft SQL Server Website. We ran the file "As Administrator" and the SQL Server 2012 Setup program began.
We selected New SQL Server Stand-Alone Installation, successfully installed the needed Product Updates, and accepted the MS SQL Server 2013 Express License terms.
When the Feature Selection Page appeared we checked only the "Data Base Eng Services". The
Instance Configuration Page was displayed and we inserted a "Named Instance= Shelby",then pressed next. On the
Server Configuration Page the only change was setting the "sql server browser = automatic". The Database Engine Configuration Page appeared
and we inserted the following settings:1] Server Configuration Tab; a) mixed mode, b)inserted SQL Server Admin pswd, c) added current user as administrator: 2] Data Directories Tab; default/no changes: 3] User Instanced Tab; default/no
changes: and 4] Filestream Tab; default/no changes. Next the
Reporting Services Configuration Page came up and the reporting services native mode was set to
"install and configure". The Error Reporting Page appeared and was left as the
"default". The SQL Server 2012 Setup program proceeded to Installation Progress Page and started to install. Just before the install program ended it displayed a message saying that there
were errors and the Database Eng Services did not succeed. I uninstalled SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express three (3) times, ran Windows Update after every uninstall, attempted to install the Database Engine and got the same results. Are there any patches or
special procedures for correctly installing SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express on my hardware configuration or Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post the setup Summary and detail logs, which will help to figure out the problem? The details about the location can be found at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143702(v=sql.110).aspx

SCCM 2012 SP1 + WSUS + Server 2012 + SQL Server 2012

Hi all;
I installed SCCM 2012 with Sp1 for my site server and everything is going well.. And than i installed the WSUS role on my Windows Server 2012 and SCCM 2012 SP1 it gave an error message which is "Fatal Error: The schema version of the database is from a newer
version of WSUS than currently installed. You must either patch your WSUS server to at least that version or drop the database." My database server is SQL Server 2012... Do you know any pathc for WSUS or SQL Server 2012 doesnt support WSUS yet???
Thank You...
MCT

Normally if you are going to install SCCM 2012 SP1 +Windows 2012 with SQL 2012, Then you better use the SQL 2012 sp1.
also when you are installing the WSUS version 6.2 which come with server 2012 make sure you leave the default settings as it is. it shows in the below article.
also when you are giving the path to save the WSUS contents make sure the drive you going to create the wsus folder and the place where you going to download the updates is having free disk space and its formatted with the NTFS volume. Also the service account
you are using for this configuration should have the admin rights to the location of the wsus folder you going to create,
Thanks

i am the adminstator in the machine and tried to copy the files to diffeent drives and click the exe
but still its stays same error message
can some one please suggest on next steps
Thanks

Hi sai sudeep,
I know that you have downloaded the SQL Server 2012, but it wasn’t successful because the entire application contains more files and folders and not just three files (setup.exe, .box files). So, as Alberto Morillo said, you could download an ISO file for installing.
Please pay attention to that a Service Pack 1 or higher is required on windows 7 for installing the SQL Server 2012.
please refer to:
Download Windows 7 Service Pack 1:

MS SQL Server 2012 SP2 post-installation error

Hi all,
Windows update gave me an option to install updates for my MS SQL Server 2012. One was the SP1 and the other was the SP2. During that time i selected both but in the end the update for 'Security Update for
SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 (KB2977326)' failed and the update for 'Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 (KB2958429)' succeeded.
What i saw then when I run management studio and did a select top 100 rows command on a table I got the below error:
An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: Method not found: 'System.String Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Util.BytesToHexString(Byte[], Int32)'.
This happens only for select statements. Edit and all other works fine. Does anybody know about this issue?
Thanks for you time. :)

Hi DBTheoN,
We check whether a program is an add-in from "Programs and Features" based on experience. I understand it is a little hard.
So, here I have another way to check which assemblies are being loading during the querying. That, we can follow these steps:
Download
Process Monitor
Open Process Monitor and start monitoring
Open SQL Server Management Studio, and then execute the query
Stop the monitoring
From Process Monitor, filter the result by Process name(ssms.exe), Event Class(File IO) and Path(End With .dll)
Save it and share it with us
Once I receive the log, I will help to analyze it.
Thanks,

Can DPM 2012 R2 backup SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn enabled databases

Is it possible to use DPM 2012 R2 for backing up
SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn enabled databases ?
Because if Alwayson configured for any Database , particular database is not available to select for backup.

Hi,
Yes, starting with DPM 2012 SP1 SQL AlwaysOn enabled databases can be protected as long as they are not part of sharepoint farm. DPM shows the Availability Groups under Cluster Group.
You must explicitly add the system account NTAuthority\System or NT AUTHORITY\DPMRA to the Sysadmin group on SQL Server.

Installing SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition or wait for SP2?

Hi everyone,
I just received my copy of SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition I ordered. As usual, before installing, I searched the web for any hint or other stuff on the subject.
I first found that SP1 was already available. Honestly I prefer installing using the last version available instead of upgrading. I found the SP1 install package using the following web address:
http://www.microsoft.com/fr-ca/download/details.aspx?id=35575
Is this the right install package to use?
Now, still reading everything I could find on that SP1, I found stories about major issues with SP1.
Two examples I remember:
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/770630
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2793634/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
Two others (not specifically related to SP1):
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlsetupandupgrade/thread/a0da3372-ab3d-4af0-b4c4-0d47163e0e03/
http://www.sqlperformance.com/2012/11/system-configuration/2012-cal-problems
My question. Should I wait for SP2? If so, any target date when it should be available?
If not, what would you recommend as the logic install sequence? Should I look for any cumulative update(s)? Any other "manual settings" I should consider?
Finally, can someone guide me regarding what options I should choose while installing. My main goal is to program/build C++, C# applications using VS2010 that will interface with SQL Server for data storage purposes (add/update/delete,
batch update/delete) and reports.
Hope to hear from someone.
Stephane
BTW: My current setup is the following:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU [email protected]
3.00 Go
Vista Ultimate SP2 32bits
Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition (which will be upgraded to last SP once installed)

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio:In the Database, how to print out or export the old 3 dbo Tables that were created manually and they have a relationship for 1 Parent table and 2 Child tables?How to handle this relationship in creating a new XML Schema?

Hi all,
Long time ago, I manually created a Database (APGriMMRP) and 3 Tables (dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates, dbo.Table_2_Soil, and dbo.Table_3_Water) in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012). The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates has the following columns: file_id,
Pt_ID, X, Y, Z, sample_id, Boring. The dbo.Table_2_Soil has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Arsenic, Chromium, Lead. The dbo.Table_3_Water has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Benzene, Ethylbenzene,
Pyrene. The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates is a Parent Table. The dbo.Table_2_Soil and the dbo.Table_3_Water are 2 Child Tables. The sample_id is key link for the relationship between the Parent Table and the Child Tables.
Problem #1) How can I print out or export these 3 dbo Tables?
Problem #2) If I right-click on the dbo Table, I see "Start PowerShell" and click on it. I get the following error messages: Warning: Failed to load the 'SQLAS' extension: An exception occurred in SMO while trying to manage a service.
--> Failed to retrieve data for this request. --> Invalid class. Warning: Could not obtain SQL Server Service information. An attemp to connect to WMI on 'NAB-WK-02657306' failed with the following error: An exception occurred in SMO while trying
to manage a service. --> Failed to retrieve data for this request. --> Invalid class. .... PS SQLSERVER:\SQL\NAB-WK-02657306\SQLEXPRESS\Databases\APGriMMRP\Table_1_XYcoordinates>   What causes this set of error messages? How can
I get this problem fixed in my PC that is an end user of the Windows 7 LAN System? Note: I don't have the regular version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 in my PC. I just have the Microsoft 2012 Shell (Integrated) program in my PC.
Problem #3: I plan to create an XML Schema Collection in the "APGriMMRP" database for the Parent Table and the Child Tables. How can I handle the relationship between the Parent Table and the Child Table in the XML Schema Collection?
Problem #4: I plan to extract some results/data from the Parent Table and the Child Table by using XQuery. What kind of JOIN (Left or Right JOIN) should I use in the XQuerying?
Please kindly help, answer my questions, and advise me how to resolve these 4 problems.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

In the future, I would recommend you to post your questions one by one, and to the appropriate forum. Of your questions it is really only #3 that fits into this forum. (And that is the one I will not answer, because I have worked very little with XSD.)
1) Not sure what you mean with "print" or "export", but when you right-click a database, you can select Tasks from the context menu and in this submenu you find "Export data".
2) I don't know why you get that error, but any particular reason you want to run PowerShell?
4) If you have tables, you query them with SQL, not XQuery. XQuery is when you query XML documents, but left and right joins are SQL things. There are no joins in XQuery.
As for left/right join, notice that these two are equivalent:
SELECT ...
FROM   a LEFT JOIN b ON a.col = b.col
SELECT ...
FROM   b RIGHT JOIN a ON a.col = b.col
But please never use RIGHT JOIN - it gives me a headache!
There is nothing that says that you should use any of the other. In fact, if you are returning rows from parent and child, I would expect an inner join, unless you want to cater for parents without children.
Here is an example where you can study the different join types and how they behave:
CREATE TABLE apple (a int    NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
b varchar(23) NOT NULL)
