Can StreamInsight be configured to use SQL Server for resiliency?

Is it possible to use StreamInsight with SQL Server instead of CE as the metadata store? This is so that it can be supported the same way as all our other application databases (e.g. for backup, permissions, audit, disaster recovery, etc).

No, at this time it cannot be. SQL CE - and, in particular, CE 3.5 SP3(? - the one that ships with StreamInsight) - is your only option.

Cannot set Start Mode using SQL Server Configuration Manager

I have SQL Server 2012 Express installed on Windows 8.1 and am trying to change the Start Mode to Manual using SQL Server Configuration Manager. However, when I open the Properties dialog and use the drop-down for Start Mode on the Service tab the drop-down
is inoperative. A "vertical bar" appears but no options.
Is there some other way that I can change the Start Mode?

I have seen that on my laptop as well and it was due to display /resolution setting. Please see if that helps you. BTW, as already answered, services.msc is another way of changing it.

Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web Edition as a witness server in mirroring?

Hi All,
Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web Edition as a witness server in mirroring?
Grateful to your time and support. Regards, Shiva

Hi All,
Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web Edition as a witness server in mirroring?
Grateful to your time and support. Regards, Shiva
As Per BOL
We strongly recommend that the witness reside on a separate computer from the partners. Database mirroring partners are supported only by SQL Server 2005 Standard and later versions and by SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition and later versions.
Witnesses, in contrast, are also supported by SQL Server 2005 Workgroup and later versions and by SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and later versions. Except during an upgrade from an earlier version of SQL Server, the server instances in a
mirroring session must all be running the same version of SQL Server. For example, a SQL Server 2005 witness is supported when you are upgrading from a SQL Server 2005 mirroring configuration but cannot be added to an existing or new SQL Server 2008 or later
mirroring configuration.
A witness can run on any reliable computer system that supports any of these editions of SQL Server. However, we recommend that every server instance that is used as a witness correspond to the minimum configuration that is required for the SQL Server Standard
version that you are running. For more information about these requirements

Using SQL Server instead of OLite

Has anyone had any luck with this? I am really not too familiar with the Oracle setup and due to experience, feel much more comfortable using SQL Server.
I read this thread where it talks about using other databases instead of Oracle Lite, but I can't seem to get it to work for SQL Server.
How to use a non-Oracle database?
I can get the ddl file to install and configure for SQL, but I'm having problems getting the JDBC connections to work in the data-sources.xml config file. Can anyone PLEASE... help me here? I've been screwing with this for a few hours, and haven't had much luck and I'm getting really frustrated. I downloaded the DataDirect JDBC drivers, but I'm not sure what I need to do with them in order to get this to work.
Thanks,
TC

Hi TC,
I circled back with the team. The only set of drivers that we currently support for Microsoft SQL Server are the DataDirect drivers. You should be able to download evaluation versions from their web site and their configuration doc do a good job of describing the configuration string you will need to use to set up the data source.
Let us know if it does not work as advertized.
I hope this helps.

How to send PLAIN text email from sp_send_dbmail using SQL Server 2008 R2?

I have configured Database Mail in SQL Server 2008 R2 (64) and it sends emails just fine. However the destination is recieving the body of thes message as Base 64 encoding.
Snippet:
EXEC msdb..sp_send_dbmail @profile_name='Outmail', @recipients = @recpts, @subject = @subj, @body_format = 'TEXT', @body=@body2;
As you can see I set @body_format to TEXT, but it still sends Base 64. I need to send plain ASCII text. How can I change this?

I am having this exact issue too. I have a trigger that sends an email using a stored procedure. The dbmail is sending the email using the Exchange 2010 server SMTP. It does not login so the email is relayed as user = "Anonymous".
The SQL dbmail email header is showing the following:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
MIME-Version: 1.0
X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthSource: MX01.domain.local
X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthAs: Anonymous
Here is the header if I send via Outlook profile using the legacy program I am trying to automate using SQL Server 2008R2:
Content-Type: application/ms-tnef; name="winmail.dat"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
MIME-Version: 1.0
X-MS-Has-Attach:
X-MS-Exchange-Organization-SCL: -1

Package Configuration via SQL Server For a Reporting Queue

The scenario is a reporting queue for a web application. Currently when a user queues a report it stores the parameters in a table by queue ID. When that report is set to run the database creates a dtexec command with all the parameters. We use this
method for transferring the values the user selected to the SSIS packages.
I have used SQL Server package configurations before but they are usually a single table with a distinct ConfigurationFilter column. Is it possible to take the standard table layout for the SQL Server package configuration and add another column, say
QueueID. We send the QueueID to each package at run time and use this value to filter the table to the configuration specific to that report?

Here is a better break down of the current process:
1. A user goes to the web application and selects a report/parameters.
2. This will add data to [QUEUE] and [QUEUE_PARAMETERS] tables associated by the QUEUE_ID
3. The server has a windows service which looks for reports in the [QUEUE] table in pending status and gets the next one available and calls a stored procedure with that QUEUE_ID.
4. The stored procedure puts together a dtexec command through xp_cmdshell which contains all the user parameters from the [QUEUE_PARAMETERS] table.
The purposed process is to replace the self made [QUEUE_PARAMETERS] table with the package configuration table. This means we would only have to send the QUEUE_ID via the dtexec command and not all the other parameters. The problem is that if
I add QUEUE_ID to the package configuration table I am not sure how I would reference a specific QUEUE_ID from the SSIS package configuration dynamically. There does not appear to be an expression that can be applied to the package configuration in SSIS
which means the relationship must make the ConfigurationFilter field unique, even though it is not a primary key.

Using SQL Server Reporting Services Standard edtion on the Web/App server

I would like some clarification of when is it a supported configuration to use SQL Reporting Services Standard Edtion with BPC 7.0M.
If you have a standard Multi-server installation with WEB/APP/RS/IS on one server and SQL/AS on the other server, is SQL Reporting service required to be Enterprise Edition? The v7.0M SP4 installation guide is a bit confusing on this because it says Reporting Services standard edition is supported, but then it says that SQL Enterprise Edition is required on the web/app server.
The Web/app would have SQL Management tools (edition-independent), Integration Services (edition-independent) and Reporting Services (Standard is allowed?) - so that would seem to mean that you can have SQL Standard edition on the front-end Web/App server.
Please advise as to what we need to tell customers going forward.
thanks,
Tony DeStefanis

Hi Tony,
SQL Server SE is supported for web/application server but you have limitation.
If you need multiple application server then RS has to be installed into a web farm and in thta case SE can not be installed it is required EE.
But if you have just one application server SQL server SE can be used without any problem.
More than that RS can be a complete separate server it is not necessary to be in any of SAP BPC server (web/application or database server) so in that case again you can use SE without any problem.
EE is required just when you need high availability and in that case you need to install RS into a web farm.
I hope this clarify a little bit when you can use and when you can not use SE for RS.

SP 2013 - Database Recovery Mode When Using SQL Server Mirroring

Hello Community,
Our DBA is configuring a High Availability Architecture for our SharePoint 2013 Farm. Essentially he is using SQL Server Database mirroring with a clustered automatic failover using a witness server. He has informed me that mirroring requires
that the databases are set to Full Recovery Mode, but that several of the databases are set to Simple Recovery Mode, the databases are the following:
SearchService_DB
SearchService_DB_CrawlStore
SearchService_DB_AnalyticsReportingStore
SearchService_DB_LinksStore
WSS_UsageApplication
User_Profile_DB
User_Sync_DB
User_Social_DB
However, when I checked the following article -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc678868.aspx - I see that Simple Recovery Mode is the default configuration for these databases. So, finally, here is my question - will it be detrimental to these databases to set them to the Full Recovery
Mode?
Thanks!
Tom

This really depends on your recovery objectives. The main reason for taking log backups, aside from truncating the log, is to be able to recover to a specific point-in-time. This is very helpful in mission-critical, highly transactional systems. I have not
seen a SharePoint environment require a point-in-time restore of the content or application service database. So for this case, you can overwrite the LDF bakups. Just make sure that you can recover your databases appropriately and meet your recovery objectives
on the farm level.
As far as the log file growth is concerned, you are correct. If you cap the size of your LDF file to let's say 10 GB, regular log backups will truncate the log, thereby, having space for additional transaction log records. The only risk here is when your
log backups are not frequent enough that the LDF file fills up before the next log backup runs to truncate the log. You run the risk of your database behaving as read-only and that will affect the site collections/applications using those databases

Any comments on speed and robustness of RH Server running on Windows 7 and using SQL Server Express?

Hi. Can anyone comment on their experience using RH Server on Windows 7 and using SQL Server Express? That is, is it stable and fast enough for delivering Web Help Pro documentation to support occasional viewer browses. (We would have approx 250 customers who would occasionally access the HTML docs that support our software.)
Our company is not keen on spending $s on Windows Server and an MS or Oracle database.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kurt. You should have no problems with that configuration and user numbers. See Recommended OS/database combinations for RoboHelp Server « Technical Communication Suite

Using SQL Server 2012 Express with Bitocker

Hello,
I'm currently working on getting our SQL Server Express database working with BitLocker but I am coming across a few problems. Here is my scenario:
The OS is partitioned into two volumes (C and D).
The C volume contains the OS and Software, while the D volume is primarily used for the database files (logs, back, and mdf).
The D volume is encrypted using BitLocker
The database connects using the SA account (SQL Server Authentication)
From what I understand, BitLocker must be enabled with the same account that the SQL Server is running on. So what I have done is change the SQL Server service account to the user account (lets say its called User) via SQL Configuration Manager. While staying
logged into User account, I then enable BitLocker via Control Panel -> System and Security -> BitLocker Drive Encryption. I then reboot and then while the software is trying to connect to the database I get the following exception:
'login failed for user sa'.
Is there anything I need to do to get this working? Thanks for the help.

Hi moncadad,
When you turn off BitLocker, does the database also show “Recovery Pending”? If so, the simplest cause for “Recovery Pending” might be that a disk spin-up was slow, or a disk became full. Please read this
blog to fix the issue, then check if you can successfully connect to the database after you turn on BitLocker.
However, if you are not able to view the database contents only after you turn on BitLocker, I suspect that there are some issues about configuring BitLocker. As far as I know, Bitlocker must be performed by a member of Local Admins Group, please make sure
that your account is a member of Local Admins Group on your computer.
Also I would like to recommend you post the question in the
Microsoft Bitlocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) forum to get better support. For more details about configuring SQL Server with Bitlocker, please review the following similar articles.

Anyone hook up StreamInsight to a PLC, and SQL Server?

All,
I have been diving into StreamInsight and after a little struggle, have had success in getting it running against some sources. The sources I have hooked to are just random number generators that simulate the flow of data. I have gotten to the
point where I can flow the data and plot them on a chart. Neat.
Now that I have a tentative grasp on Streaminsight, I have a couple of questions to throw out to the group:
1. I have been trying to find a good sample of hooking SI into SQL Server. We have a server that is streaming data into it. I would like to "watch" SQL Server for record updates and grab only specific points of data to trend.
Or even better if there was a way to monitor the SQL File itself. Still fuzzy on how best to use SI with SQL Server If someone could point me in that direction, that would be great.
2. In reading the documentation, it was indicated that SI would be a good choice for monitoring PLC data and watch for points that change. Has anyone used SI with PLC data? If so a push in that direction would be great as well.
We have quite a bit of data streaming in that is just ignored right now, but I know if I could expose it and link it where I can (production rates, machine uptime, breaching up limits, etc.) that is just going by the wayside, and yet where there is a production
problem, instead of looking for trends and have early warnings and being proactive, we are reactive trying to dig through paper, various databases and other sources and trying to piece it together.
Again, any help is much appreciated.

Polling a database, as TXPower mentioned, is certainly possible but it's not ideal. How does the data get into the database? It's better to get it into StreamInsight while it's "in flight", rather than after it's already "at rest" (on
disk).
Note, also, that the SQL Server storage engine isn't required for StreamInsight. Only the licensing PID. That said, SQL Server is a great place to store metadata ... slowly changing data that is required to process and analyze the streams but isn't inherently
temporal in nature (as sensor data is).

Improve the performance in stored procedure using sql server 2008 - esp where clause in very big table - Urgent

Hi,
I am looking for inputs in tuning stored procedure using sql server 2008. l am new to performance tuning in sql,plsql and oracle. currently facing issue in stored procedure - need to increase the performance by code optmization/filtering the records using where clause in larger table., the requirement is Stored procedure generate Audit Report which is accessed by approx. 10 Admin Users typically 2-3 times a day by each Admin users.
It has got CTE ( common table expression ) which is referred 2 time within SP. This CTE is very big and fetches records from several tables without where clause. This causes several records to be fetched from DB and then needed processing. This stored procedure is running in pre prod server which has 6gb of memory and built on virtual server and the same proc ran good in prod server which has 64gb of ram with physical server (40sec). and the execution time in pre prod is 1min 9seconds which needs to be reduced upto 10secs or so will be the solution. and also the exec time differs from time to time. sometimes it is 50sec and sometimes 1min 9seconds..
Pl provide what is the best option/practise to use where clause to filter the records and tool to be used to tune the procedure like execution plan, sql profiler?? I am using toad for sqlserver 5.7. Here I see execution plan tab available while running the SP. but when i run it throws an error. Pl help and provide inputs.
Thanks,
Viji

You've asked a SQL Server question in an Oracle forum. I'm expecting that this will get locked momentarily when a moderator drops by.
Microsoft has its own forums for SQL Server, you'll have more luck over there. When you do go there, however, you'll almost certainly get more help if you can pare down the problem (or at least better explain what your code is doing). Very few people want to read hundreds of lines of code, guess what's it's supposed to do, guess what is slow, and then guess at how to improve things. Posting query plans, the results of profiling, cutting out any code that is unnecessary to the performance problem, etc. will get you much better answers.
