Does a version of SQL Server come with VS 2013 Professional?

I have purchased a new laptop with Windows 8 and would now like to install VS 2013 Professional on it so that I can upgrade a couple of Windows applications (currently on a different computer) to the newer VS version. All these applications are using/connecting
to an SQL 2008 Database. I'd like to upgrade the SQL Database Server by installing the newer version on this laptop as well. Does VS 2013 Professional install a version of SQL Server? Do I have to purchase SQL Server 2012 separately? I know I can install SQL
Sever 2012 Express but would really prefer the full version of SQL Server. If I purchase VS 2013 Professional with MSDN subscription would that give me a full version of SQL Server to install?
Thanks

>Does VS 2013 Professional install a version of SQL Server?
Yes. It installs
SQL Server 2012 Express Edition LocalDb, which is small install of the SQL Server engine that runs on-demand in your session. Visual Studio includes
SQL Server Data Tools, which has all the tooling you need to building and maintaining SQL Server database applications.
You can additionally install the service-based version of SQL Server Express Edition, and SQL Server Management Studio Express Edition. This will give you a traditional service-based database engine and stand-alone management tool, just like the other
editions of SQL Server.
>If I purchase VS 2013 Professional with MSDN subscription would that give me a full version of SQL Server to install?
Yes. Visual Studio 2013 Professional with MSDN gives you full SQL Server under MSDN licensing.
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/msdn-subscriptions-vs#SKUDetailList_1
You can also
buy a SQL Server Developer Edition as a stand-alone tool. Developer Edition is identical to Enterprise Edition, except licensed for development purposes.

SQL Server Express with SS Management Studio. Which version is lightest/smallest?

I’m looking to download the smallest/lightest version of SQL Server Express with SS Management Studio.
Which option should I choose?
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Hello,
What's the main propuse you use SQL Server Express edition? If you just use SQL Server in development. You can try to use SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB.
LocalDB is a lightweight version of Express that has all its programmability features.SQL Server Express LocalDB runs in user mode, and you can install it more quickly with fewer prerequisites (a minimal set of files necessary to start the SQL Server Database
Engine) and no configuration.

Does Sql Server compartible with Citrix version 6.5 .?

Does Sql Server compartible with Citrix version 6.5 .? provid link

Hi Piya Sahu,
You post the same question 3 times. Please avoid this practice on Forum, I
have merged the same thread. Thanks for your understanding.
As other post, Citrix supplies to ensure compatibility with upcoming database releases. The following databases are supported for the XenApp data store, for example, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP4, Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and Microsoft SQL Server 2008R2
and so on.
For more information, you can review the following article about System Requirements for Citrix XenApp 6.5.
http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/xenapp65-w2k8/ps-system-requirements-w2k8-xa65.html
There is an detail about hardware and software requirements for installing SQL Server. You can review it.

What version of SQL Server support ssl connection with TLS. 1.2 (SHA-256 HASH)

Hi,
I just want to know,
What version of SQL Server support ssl connection with TLS. 1.2 (SHA-256 HASH).
if support already,
how can i setting.
plz. help me!!!

The following blog states that SQL Server "leverages the SChannel layer (the SSL/TLS layer provided
by Windows) for facilitating encryption. Furthermore, SQL Server will completely rely upon SChannel to determine the best encryption cipher suite to use." meaning that the version of SQL Server you are running has no bearing on which
encryption method is used to encrypt connections between SQL Server and clients.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sql_protocols/archive/2007/06/30/ssl-cipher-suites-used-with-sql-server.aspx
So the question then becomes which versions of Windows Server support TLS 1.2. The following article indicates that Windows Server 2008 R2 and beyond support TLS 1.2.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kaushal/archive/2011/10/02/support-for-ssl-tls-protocols-on-windows.aspx
So if you are running SQL Server on Windows Server 2008 R2 or later you should be able to enable TLS 1.2 and install a TLS 1.2 certificate. By following the instructions in the following article you should then be able to enable TLS 1.2 encryption
for connections between SQL Server and your clients:

I hope that helps.

Which Versions of SQL are compatible with windows 2003 server?

I just purchased SQL 2014 standard and tried to install on my Windows 2003 standard R2 VM server. It will not install and now I'm finding some places on the internet that say it's not compatible????
Is this true?
And if so what version of SQL can I install on my windows 2003 standard R2 VM server???

Hello,
You can install SQL Server 2008 R2 or earlier versions of SQL Server only on a Windows Server 2003 R2 computer.
SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 can be installed on Windows Server 2003 R2 if you apply SP2 for Windows Server 2003 R2.
Meanwhile SQL Server 2005 requires Windows Server 2003 R2 Service Pack 1.
SQL Server 2000 can be installed on Windows Server 2003 R2 with no service pack.
Hope this helps.

Does the USA version of the E63 come with PORTUGUE...

hi, can you please tell me if the USA version of the E63 come with PORTUGUESE language?
if not, are we able to install language packs separately?

Reference to database and/or server name in '' is not supported in this version of SQL Server

Hello all
I am using C# and ADO.NET (native) - Visual Studio 2013.
I am always using full qualified queries like "SELECT * FROM [database].[schema].[table]"
Obviously there is a problem when doing this against SQL Azure,
I get the following error: "Reference to database and/or server name in '' is not supported in this version of SQL Server"
Interesting fact: With SQL Management Studio, the same query works.
I need to know if this error is really a true one or not.
If yes, I can quit using SQL Azure. I would need a SQL Server and not a partial SQL Server :-)
Thanks and best regards
Frank

Hi,
Here are my suggestions:
1. Use partially qualified queries, because:
a. from a security standpoint, you'd want to limit your login's access across the server instance
b. in order to achieve a even better, you should specify your database as the Initial Catalog directly in the SQL Connection.
If you take into account these practices, SQL Database doesn't come with any limitation from that point of view.
However, in regard to 'With SQL Management Studio, the same query works', this is actually only partially true because if you run that query agains ADO.NET, you'll actually end up in switching databases along the query which is obviously not permitted in
SQL Database since you're running in a hosted black-box version of SQL you're not managing. It's just like running the USE <dbname> command which obviously doesn't work.

Pointers for upgrading to new version of SQL Server?

We're running SAP Business One 2007 A (8.00.181) SP:00 PL:49
At the moment we have a dedicated server computer to host the SQL databases for this product. The server computer is 32-bit Windows Server 2003. The database server is SQL Server 2005 32-bit. This server was purchased in fall 2006 and had a fast disk subsystem for its day: 5x 15K UltraSCSI hard drives in RAID5.
We have several company databases, some of which are in the 12 - 13GB range in size. There are occasions where two or more of these large-ish databases may be in use simultaneously. Since SQL Server on the current server limits itself to 2GB RAM usage, I suspect there is a lot of paging to disk when multiple company databases are open, with a major hit on performance.
Windows Server 2003 goes end-of-life on July 15, 2015. SQL Server 2005 end-of-life is April 14, 2016. As part of a refresh of company IT infrastructure, we're considering replacing various physical servers with virtual servers. Ideally, we'd like to migrate the backend to a current version of SQL Server on a current Windows server OS, and also move to a 64-bit platform so we can allocate more RAM to SQL Server. We may also host virtual hard drive file(s) on SSD if/where that makes sense.
What I've found so far:
All the current SAP databases are Compatibility Level 90 (native SQL Server 2005)
The latest version of SQL Server that supports Compatibility Level 90 is SQL Server 2012. SQL Server 2014 drops support for 90. I assume it's a bad idea to change the database compatibility level?
If for any reason we have to stick with SQL Server 2005, the latest version of Windows that supports that is Server 2008 R2. That's not ideal, since in a perfect world we would want all virtual machines running Server 2012 R2
Moving to a 64-bit version of SQL Server requires a so-called "side-by-side" upgrade, it's not possible to use a SQL Server upgrade wizard
The VAR we used to install and configure the product in 2006 is no longer in business so we'd like (if possible) to do this ourselves. I'm a software developer familiar with client-server development, SSMS etc. so I feel reasonably confident in undertaking a side-by-side upgrade.
So, assuming we'd like to migrate the backend to 64-bit SQL Server 2012, can anyone offer any pointers, experiences, or things to watch out for?
There are also some services running on the current server computer, which I'm assuming will also need to be migrated:
SAP Business One Integration Service
SAP Business One License Manager 2007
SAP Business One Messaging Service
I get the feeling other people may have asked similar questions before, but I couldn't find any relevant posts.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You probably need to do an installer file clean up for Apple Software Update with the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility.
Here is a method for removal and clean up of iTunes and related programs. You might get away with just doing the Apple Software Update part rather than the whole thing. I would try just removing and cleaning ASU first.
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

The installed version of SQL Server could not be verified or is not supported. Verify that the computer and the installed version of SQL Server meet the minimum requirements for installation

Upgrade OM 2012 to SP1 Beta - Version of SQL Server for the Operational Database and the Data Warehouse

Hello,
When I try to verify the prerequisites to upgrade my SCOM 2012 UR2 Platform to SP1 Beta, I have these errors :
The installed version of SQL Server is not supported for the operational database.
The installed version of SQL Server is not supported for the data warehouse.
But when I execute this query Select @@version on my MSSQL Instance, the result is :
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (X64) Jun 17 2011 00:54:03 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7600: ) (Hypervisor)
But
here, we can see that :
Microsoft SQL Server: SQL Server SQL 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2012 SP1, are supported.
Do I need to pach my MSSQL Server with a specific cumulative update package ?
Thanks.

These are the requirements for your SQL:
SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2012 are available in both Standard and Enterprise editions. Operations Manager will function with both editions.
Operations Manager does not support hosting its databases or SQL Server Reporting Services on a 32-bit edition of SQL Server.
Using a different version of SQL Server for different Operations Manager features is not supported. The same version should be used for all features.
SQL Server collation settings for all databases must be one of the following: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, French_CI_AS, Cyrillic_General_CI_AS, Chinese_PRC_CI_AS, Japanese_CI_AS, Traditional_Spanish_CI_AS, or Latin1_General_CI_AS. No other collation
settings are supported.
The SQL Server Agent service must be started, and the startup type must be set to automatic.
Side-by-side installation of System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 reporting and System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Operations Manager reporting on the same server is not supported.
The db_owner role for the operational database must be a domain account. If you set the SQL Server Authentication to Mixed mode, and then try to add a local SQL Server login on the operational database, the Data Access service will not be able to start.
For information about how to resolve the issue, see
System Center Data Access Service Start Up Failure Due to SQL Configuration Change
If you plan to use the Network Monitoring features of System Center 2012 – Operations Manager, you should move the tempdb database to a separate disk that has multiple spindles. For more information, see
tempdb Database.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj656654.aspx#BKMK_RBF_OperationsDatabase
Check the SQL server agent service and see whether it is set to automatic AND started. This got me confused at my first SP1 install as well. This is not done by default...
It's doing common things uncommonly well that brings succes.

How to enable high availability on SQL Server 2005 with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise R2

Dear Folks,
I would like to ask you about this thing. I'm working for IT department for bank in Myanmar. Our bank have up to 96 branches across all of Myanmar including H.O. We are using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 with Windows Server 2008 for our banking
information system. My main problem is having to backup and restore the database backup files every time the servers in branches goes down for whatever reasons. I want to deploy this feature of high availability and failover cluster using Windows Server 2008
and SQL Server 2005. Our branches have 2 Servers. One is for Primary and other is for Backup. What I want to do is that, I want to change Backup Server to Primary Server whenever the Primary Server goes down for whatever reasons. All the working data and databases
from Primary will immediately replicated into Backup Server along with all the IP information of Primary Server. Please give me step by step guide for this process.

Try below
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cindygross/archive/2009/10/23/checklist-for-installing-sql-server-2005-as-a-clustered-instance.aspx
I will recommend you to upgrade SQL server to newer version for support as well as flexibility.

Best Version of SQL Server to Run on Windows 7 Professional for Large Data Sets

My company will soon be upgrading my work PC from XP to Windows 7 Professional. I am currently running SQL Server 2000 on my PC and use it to load and analyze data large volumes of data. I often need to work with 3GB to 5GB of data, and
have had databases reach 15GB in size. What would be the best version of SQL Server to install on my PC after the upgrade? SQL Server Express just won't cut it. I need more than 2GB of data and the current version of DTS functionality to
load and transform data.
Thanks.

Hi,
Its difficult to say what would be best for you. You can install SQL Server 2012 standard edition because that is supported on Windows 7 SP1, enterprise edition is not supported. SQL Server 2012 express has now database limitation of 10G which does not includes
File stream size and log file size but does not provide SSIS features.
Just have a look at features supported by various editions of SQL Server it will help you in deciding better
I inclination is towards SQL Server 2012 because its now with SP2 and more stable than 2014( my personal opinion)

Which version of SQL Server 2014 should I be using?

Hello,
I'm writing a Visual Basic.NET application for a school network. I am new to databases and made the assumption that I need Microsoft SQL Server (I've gone for the express edition). My plan is to run a copy on the school's server and connect to it through
several instances of my program, each on their own computer on the school network. The server is 64bit so I know I should be getting the 64bit edition. However, I'm not sure whether I should choose LocalDB, Express, Express with Tools, Management Studio Express
or any of the other versions.
Which one should I choose?

Hi 08robertsj,
Based on your description, you can install SQL Server 2014 Express with Tools (SQLEXPRWT _x64_ENU.exe)
or SQL Server 2014 Express with Advanced Services (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe) on the 64-bit server.
SQLEXPRWT _x64_ENU.exe package contains everything needed to install and configure SQL Server as a database server including the full version of SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe package is a larger download than “with Tools,” as it
also includes both Full Text Search and Reporting Services.
LocalDB is meant for developers, with it you can simply create and work with databases from code. Express edition includes the SQL Server database engine only. SQL Server Management Studio Express doesn’t not contain the database, but only the tools to manage
SQL Server instances.
For more details about the difference between Express editions, please review the following link.

Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..

Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..i mean enterprise version BI version or standard version.. i just need a detailed comparison if available please thank you

As of right this very second, SQL Server 2014 is not supported. SharePoint 2013 supports:
One of the following:
The 64-bit edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
The 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013
Edit: I may be mistaken. It looks like the April 2014 CU adds support for SQL Server 2014. If this is the case generally going with the latest SQL Edition provides you with the latest SQL functionality. I'm not aware of any SharePoint features that would
make use of functionality that is new to SQL Server 2014 but this could change with a future service pack.
