SqlLocalDB.exe not Installed when sql Server 2012 Express (LocalDb Edition) is installed

I have been having a very frustrating time trying to connect to a localDB instance of SQL Server 2012. So I started again from scratch on another computer (Windows 7). I first installed sql server 2012 Express with tools (via ENU\x64\SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe)
and then installed the LocalDB Edition via sqlLocalDB.msi. The first installation seems to have gone OK. The second installation proceeded normally and finally advised that "Setup has installed SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB successfully."
A whole lot of files were installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, including sqlservr.exe. But the SqlLocalDB.exe utility was
not amongst them.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening here? From where can I download a copy of sqlLocalDB.exe

A whole lot of files were installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, including sqlservr.exe. But the SqlLocalDB.exe utility was
not amongst them.
The tool is located in

Reports & Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB support policy

Hello,
Willing to move some databases into Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (2014) Express LocalDB, I have tryed to map some reports on that database.
Using OLE DB SQL Native Client (v11) and SAP CR RunTime SP10 (>SP9), I still have trouble when using this data source:
After drawing some simple reports (standard ones with 2-3 fields from the database):
- VS designer:
+ when "checking database" or "getting a preview" of the report, it always complains about missing tables.
+ when trying to "re-map" tables from one SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB to another one it fails, complaining about not findind resources.
- Running application (.NET 4.0, 32 or 64-bits):
+ without any change to the report configuration: CR Viewer complains with multiple error codes (17, ...) that it cannot find the tables
+ trying to change the configured database from the report: CR VIewer complains with some more error codes
=> Is Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB now officially supported by CR ?
=> Is changing datasource/database configuraton during execution now officially supported by CR ?
Feel free to provide an any links / howto's / white paper about how managing Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB with SAP CR !
Many thanks in advance.
Regards.

Don,
I did not want you to think that I am not willing to change anything...
The issue is that LocalDB specs (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms130822(v=sql.110).aspx) are not (seems not) fulfiled by what SAP APIs provide.
Following specs, I need to provide ADO DB/SQL Native Client v11 an "AttachDBFileName" property which, for LocalDB instance, is equal to the DatabaseName property (check below screenshot from MS Mgmt Studio connected to a SQL Server 2012 LocalDB instance).
Moreover, OLEDB discovery provide in CR 2013 UI this same list of "DatabaseName":
When connected, this same CR 2013 UI got the right "view" of connected "MDF-labelled" names:
Moreover, CR connected datasource properties also provide an "initial catalog" (databasename) value with that "MDF-labelled" name:
That is what I saw previously in API dumped objects and what I tryed to reproduce in my code:
As previously explained, after adding tables, I am also beeing able to add fields from those tables in my fresh-new report document:
It fikrst shows results in preview but as soon as I try to refresh / add some more fields / ask CR to "check database" / "change database source", the interface always complain about having "lost" objects:
Site note for Ludek Uher: CR 2013 StandaAlone fresh-new builded reports are not working neither using CR runtime SP10 when opening/updating that report..
So YES, I am OK to change whatever is required but please explain me what to use/put into the "crConnectioninfo.DatabaseName" property for a SQL Express 2012 LocalDB case.
Or leave it as is, LocalDB not being supported by CR ...
(all my reports & c# code are working well while using SQL Express 2012 "classic" (not localdb)).
Thanks again for your time.
Regards.

Microsoft SQL server 2012 express

i recently downloaded ENU\x86\SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe and ENU\x86\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe from microsoft SQL server 2012 from official download centre page. First i installed SQLEXPR_x86 (database engine) with mixed mode authentication, then i installed
management studio with new installation option rather than selecting add new features.after both the successfull installation i learnt that in the object explorer, expanding database+system database+master i dont have a table option to create
new tables as earlier found in sql 2005 and 2008 versions. in simple words i dont have a table designer to create table, i have to type the statments using query editor to create and do manipulations in the table. for your further help i want to
tell you some related information:
1.i tried to get the table option with ENU\x86\SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe and ENU\x86\SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe without installing management studio as studio is already present in these packages. but still the problem persist.
2.i have windows 7 home basic installed on PC and windows 7 home premium on laptop both with service pack 1 with all the new updates.
3.after installation of sql server 2012 service pack, i thought problem might get solved but no.
i really need table designer feature.

Hello,
It is simple : in SSMS , after having connected to your SQL Server instance, you should see in the left panel a TreeView with the name of your instance. Right-click on the name of your instance .I n the context menu , click on Facets ( 12th item just above
Start PowerShell ).You will open a new form labeled "View Facets" followed by the "full" name of your SQL Server. In the bottom left part , you should see view the connection string .Click on it.
If the name of your database is master , it means that you are connected to the master database . The master database is a system database in which you are not allowed to create a new table ( it is an essential database containing information essential to
the survival of your SQL Server ).See this link ( even if it was for SQL Server 2012, it is always valuable )
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1420/sql-server-system-databases/
I would suggest to have a look at this link :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187837.aspx ( special 2012 ) and especially the part recommendations.
As you have not yet created an user database , you connect automatically to the master database which is at least dangerous when you want to create a new table.
You have before to create a new database in which you will create your new table. It is what I have explained in my former post.
If you don't know how to create a new database, you have not posted in the good forum ( a curious habit from the original posters , maybe because they don't understand how to find the "good" forum but I recognize that I am often hesitating before finding
the most appropriate forum even if I am moderator since 6 years ). It is possible that I have not been clear enough but English is not my mother tongue ).
So don't hesitate to post again to obtain more help and explanations : this forum is full of highly-qualified persons always ready to help persons lost in SQL Server.
For me , you have 2 important steps :
- create a new database
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms176061(v=sql.120).aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186312(v=sql.120).aspx
- create a new table
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174979.aspx
According to me , it is simpler to create a new database or/and table without using TRANSACT-SQL through the visual interface of SSMS
for a database : right-click on the Databases node of your SQL Server instance and click on Create Database
for a table : as soon as you have created your database , its name should appear in the list under the Databases node.
Click on the little + on the left of this name to expand the node related to this new database.
Right-click on the Tables node and choose New Table. You should arrive to a new form making relatively easy the creation of the table , more exactly , the structure of the table with its columns ( names and data types ).
Don't hesitate to post again if you need more help( it is what I am doing when I am lost ) : you will find always someone available to help you at any time as moderators/answerers are nearly from every continent at any hour of the day ( when USA is sleeping
, Europe and Asia are awake ... )
Have a nice day

Setup closed with exit code: 0x84C40013 - Silent Install error - SQL Server 2012 express management studio SP1

I am trying to create a silent installation package for SQL Server 2012 Express Management Studio SP1. (both x86 & x64)
Prior to installation I have performed the following :
1. Turned ON the Windows feature 'Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1' (I had read somewhere on the internet that this is required prior to installation)
2. Installed Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0
I am using the following command line to perform an unattended install :
<EXENAME> /Q /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=install /FEATURES=Tools
However, the installation fails abruptly.
The application installs successfully with the following command line :
<EXENAME> /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=install /FEATURES=Tools
The error occurs only while attempting to install the application with the /Q switch appended.
Please help.

Hello Fanny,
Thanks for providing the link to the SQL Server 2012 unattended install guide.
However, I must highlight that I was running the setup.exe with "Run As a Administrator" option and still facing the issue.
Anyways, I found out the root cause and I must say that it was a rather silly one.
As I had stated previously, the following command line was causing the issue :
<EXENAME>
/Q /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=install /FEATURES=Tools
I simply changed it to the following and it worked....
<EXENAME>
/QUIET /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=INSTALL /FEATURES=TOOLS
It so seems that everything must be in CAPITALS for this to work.

Soumen

SQL Server 2012 Express bulk Insert flat file 1million rows with "" as delimeter

Hi,
I wanted to see if anyone can help me out. I am on SQL server 2012 express. I cannot use OPENROWSET because my system is x64 and my Microsoft office suit is x32 (Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0).
So I used Import wizard and is not working either.
The only thing that let me import this large file, is:
CREATE TABLE #LOADLARGEFLATFILE
Column1
varchar(100), Column2 varchar(100), Column3 varchar(100),
Column4 nvarchar(max)
BULK INSERT
#LOADLARGEFLATFILE
FROM 'C:\FolderBigFile\LARGEFLATFILE.txt'
WITH
FIRSTROW = 2,
FIELDTERMINATOR ='\t',
ROWTERMINATOR ='\n'
The problem with CREATE TABLE and BULK INSERT is that my flat file comes with text qualifiers - "". Is there a way to prevent the quotes "" from loading in the bulk insert? Below is the data.
Column1
Column2
Column3
Column4
"Socket Adapter"
8456AB
$4.25
"Item - Square Drive Socket Adapter | For "
"Butt Splice"
9586CB
$14.51
"Item - Butt Splice"
"Bleach"
6589TE
$27.30
"Item - Bleach | Size - 96 oz. | Container Type"

Hi lgnusLumen,
According to your description, you use BULK INSERT to import data from a data file to the SQL table. However, to be usable as a data file for bulk import, a CSV file must comply with the following restrictions:
1. Data fields never contain the field terminator.
2. Either none or all of the values in a data field are enclosed in quotation marks ("").
In your data file, the quotes aren't consistent, if you want to prevent the quotes "" from loading in the bulk insert, I recommend you use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard tools in SQL Server Express version. area, it will allow to strip the
double quote from columns, you can review the following screenshot.
In other SQL Server version, we can use SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to import data from a flat file (.csv) with removing the double quotes. For more information, you can review the following article.
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1316/strip-double-quotes-from-an-import-file-in-integration-services-ssis/
In addition, you can create a function to convert a CSV to a usable format for Bulk Insert. It will replace all field-delimiting commas with a new delimiter. You can then use the new field delimiter instead of a comma. For more information, see:

SQL Server 2012 Express - Could not load the file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop

Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1
64-bit
I just installed SQL Server 2012 express - Express with Advanced Services (contains the database engine, Express Tools, Reporting Services, and Full Text Search),
file name - SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.
Opening SQL Server Management Studio causes the error -
"Could not load the file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop,
Version=7.1.40304.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The
system cannot find the file specified."
Do I need to install another file? Did I download the wrong version?
Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

Hello,
The issue may occure when the installation of your SQL Server is not a complete or a successful one. Did you try to repair or reinstall the SQL Server Express? You can also try to install
Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2012
to check if the issue presists.

SQL Server 2012 Express Install on Windows 7 SP1 Embedded not using virtual account?

Hi there,
I did a default installation of SQL Server 2012 Express on Windows 7 embedded Standard SP1.
When I look at the SQLSERVER service credential it is configured to run under "NETWORK SERVICE" instead of the virtual account "NT SERVICE\MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS".
This is different from SQL 2012 Express installation on a non-embedded Windows 7.
Why is this difference?
Secondly, because of this, I am unable to take a backup of databases to any folder other than the default SQL folder.

Hi Chandrasekaran,
As Local Service account, the Network Service account and high privileged Local System account could be used by many services.
It becomes harder to track which service is actually accessing resources and performing actions, because all the services are using the one Network Service account or other account.
In Windows7 and Windows Server 2008R2, it introduces a new type of account called a virtual account, which emulates creating many unique instances of the Network Service account, so each service runs with its own instance of the Network Service account.
For example, when you install SQL 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 and later you’ll see the services run with virtual service accounts named like:
in the format NT SERVICE\<SERVICENAME>.
According to your description, when the SQLSERVER service was run under “NETWORK SERVICE”, you only back up database to the default SQL folder. It may be caused by the NETWORK SERVICE account has limited local privileges, just accesses network
resource with the computer credential. I recommend you change the account to Local System account, by default, which has full permissions on your computer.
For more information about SQL Server service account and virtual account, you can review the following articles.

I need help installing SQL Server 2012 Express

I am very much an amateur. I got a new machine. The old one had Server 2008 R2 but the recommendation was that I need to move to 2012 Express.
When I moved to the new machine, the mover (LapLink) screwed up the version of 2008 R2. IOW, I now have to go forward and install 2012..
I downloaded all the 64 bit files (5 of them). When I start SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe, the process starts and then I'm given the choice of a new install or upgrade. I chose the new install. The process started and I got the following message ...
"Failed to retrieve data for this request.."
There are no hints anyplace as to what this means.
When I click "OK", a new status window pops up and proclaims that something is wrong. Then all activity stops.
I don't know what to do. I can't use either version and I really can't tell you much more to help me.

I'm not certain how to send the log material so I'll just cut 'n paste the file named "Summary_Eric-PC_20140921_134001_GlobalRules" If this isn't the right way, please forgive me and suggest what is right. Anyway, here goes ...

SQL Server 2012 Express Instance is Not Discovered

I have a single SQL Server 2012 Express instance that is the backend database for a small door security application. I just noticed after having deployed the OpsMgr agent months ago that it never discovered the SQL instance. The SQL instance
is, as stated, Express, and it's the only Express instance I have. Is that why it is not discovered? All the documentation I found seems to indicate the opposite -- that Express is discovered and there are steps you can take to exclude Express
instances. I have no overrides set to exclude any instance or any database.
- System Center Operations Manager 2012 RTM (no SP1, no R2)
- SQL Server 2012 MP version 6.3.173.1
- SQL Server is Windows Server 2012
- SQL Server 2012 Express running on a Hyper-V VM. Instance is named DOORSERVER\Eclipse
- Agent is installed and other discoveries seem to be working fine
- No discovery errors in the event log related to SQL, although there is one about the Windows Server 2008 discovery not being able to start, but I'm on Windows Server 2012, so I am guessing that's okay?
- No overrides are set on the discovery
- Discovery has found every other SQL Server 2012 instance (standard and enterprise editions)

Well, just realized I didn't have the latest MP. Upgrading to 6.4.1.0 version of the SQL MP fixed the discovery issue.
