Error in sql_engine_core_inst_Cpu64_1.log file for SQL Server 2012

I was running SQL Server 2012 in Win 7 64 bit OS. Some how I found SQLSERVER server is not running and I was not able to run the service. Then I tried to unisntall and install again. And I found that some of the SQL Server
features got failed, like: Reporting Services - Native, Database Engine Services, Data Quality Services, Full-Text and Semantic Extractions for Search and SQL Server Replication. I checked the Summary.txt
file from location C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log. It thsi logs referes to another log file location like:
Feature: Database Engine Services
Status: Failed: see logs for details
Reason for failure: An error occurred during the setup process of the feature.
Next Step: Use the following information to resolve the error, and then try the setup process again.
Component name: SQL Server Database Engine Services Instance Features
Component error code: 1639
Component log file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20140127_151409\sql_engine_core_inst_Cpu64_1.log

Hi Nusrat Akhter,
According to your description, when installing the first install failed, and it looks like the instance did not uninstall completely. To solve the issue I recommend you changed the instance name in re-installing SQL Server, and check if it can work fine.
There is a similar issue that the SQL engine will not start, and there is no method of uninstalling either it, or any of the components etc. You can review the following post.

Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?

Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?
Does this best practice still applies to sql server 2012 & 2014?

Yes. The extent size of SQL Server data files, and the max log block size have not changed with the new versions, so the guidance should remain the same.

SSMS.exe for SQL Server 2012 is getting Application Error: The exception unknown software exception (0xe0434352) occurred in the application at location 0x75c5c42d.

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio attempting to log into a SQL Server 2012 instance on a remote server using SQL Authenticated login.
What does this error mean and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Nick,
Have you seen any additionally information from Windows Event Viewer?
Based on my research, exception code e0434352 is the exception code used internally by the CLR to represent most exceptions(*), it could mean anything. If you want to find out exactly what the real error is, please review this
blog.
In addition, in such case, Microsoft .Net Framework may need to be updated or repaired on your computer. For more details, you can refer to the following similar thread.

You are probably missing an update.
I saw a MS Connect post https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/250920/error-using-oledb-or-datareader-to-get-analysis-services-data where that suggestion was proposed as a fix, but is for an older SQL Server version.
So do there is a question if you pull data from SQL Server 2012 SSAS using SSIS 2012 (so no other build is involved).

SSIS 2008 Logging - SSIS Log Provider for SQL Server

Simple SSIS package - copies a table from Server A to Server B.
Everything works except logging using SSIS Log Provider for SQL Server. Selecting the similar events to using
SSIS Log Provider for Text Files does generates a file on the server.
I specified server B on the configuration for SSIS Log Provider for SQL Server.
Logged on with a username with sysadmin rights on Server B. Executed the package using that login and nothing is written to msdb..sysssislog
any ideas what's going on or what am I doing wrong?

Just to be sure that the basics are right :
You sure that you configured the log provider correctly?
Selected the required 'components' on the left bar?
Selected events on the Details Tab?
selected the right table? I mean it should be --> select * from msdb..sysssislog
The default schema in your DB setup is dbo right? Coz, if not the logging will be a real problem. You might wanna recreate the table then ..
Btw, if you still experience issues, I'd advise you to enable all events and check for logging just to make sure that there isnt any prob with the DB setup ..
Do try and let us know :)
Edited:
Also a few more:
Check what database you chose in the connection setting page of the logging configuration wizard and check for entries in sysssislog of tht DB as, the sysssislog will be created only in that db.
Ensure that you have execute permission on sp_ssis_addlogentry in that particular db (mostly msdb). Can be checked via:
select name,
has_perms_by_name(name, 'OBJECT', 'EXECUTE') as has_execute
from msdb.sys.procedures
where name like 'sp_ssis_addlogentry' --for 2008 edition and up
or name like 'sp_dts_addlogentry' --for 2005 edition
Thanks to @Sathyanarrayanans for pointing this out :)
Hope this should help ..

After installed SP1 for SQL Server 2012, can no longer export to csv

After installing SP1 today via Windows Update, I am no longer able to export data to csv using the SQL Server Import and Export wizard. I get the following error message:
"Column information for the source and the destination data could not be retrieved, or the data types of source columns were not mapped correctly to those available on the destination provider."
"Column "col1": Source data type "200" was not found in the data type mapping file."...
(The above line repeats for each column)
The work-around I have to do is to manually map each column in the "Edit Mappings..." option from the "Configure Flat File Destination" page of the wizard. This is an extreme inconvenience to have to have to edit the mappings and change
each column to "string [DT_STR]" type from "byte stream [DT_BYTES]" type each time I want to export to csv. I did not have to do this before installing SP1; it worked perfectly for months with hundreds of exports prior to this update and
no need to modify mapping.

I am running Windows 7 64-bit, SQL Server 2012 Express edition. Again, just yesterday from Windows Update, I installed SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 (KB2674319), followed by Update Rollup for SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 (KB2793634). This situation was
not occurring before these updates were installed, and I noticed it immediately after they were installed (and of course I restarted my computer after the updates).
In SSMS I just now created a test DB and table to provide a step-by-step with screenshots.
Here is the code I ran to create the test DB and table:
CREATE DATABASE testDB;
GO
USE testDB;
GO
CREATE TABLE testTable
id int,
lname varchar(50),
fname varchar(50),
address varchar(50),
city varchar(50),
state char(2),
dob date
GO
INSERT INTO testTable VALUES
(1,'Smith','Bob','123 Main St.','Los Angeles','CA','20080212'),
(2,'Doe','John','555 Rainbow Ln.','Chicago','IL','19580530'),
(3,'Jones','Jane','999 Somewhere Pl.','Washington','DC','19651201'),
(4,'Jackson','George','111 Hello Cir.','Dallas','TX','20010718');
GO
SELECT * FROM testTable;
Results look good:
id   lname   fname   address   city   state   dob
1   Smith   Bob   123 Main St.   Los Angeles   CA   2008-02-12
2   Doe   John   555 Rainbow Ln.   Chicago   IL   1958-05-30
3   Jones   Jane   999 Somewhere Pl.   Washington   DC   1965-12-01
4   Jackson   George   111 Hello Cir.   Dallas   TX   2001-07-18
In Object Explorer, I right-click on the [testDB] database, choose "Tasks", then "Export Data..." and the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard appears. I click Next to leave all settings as-is on the "Choose a Data Source" page, then on the "Choose a Destination"
page, under the "Destination" drop-down I choose "Flat File Destination" then browse to the desktop and name the file "table_export.csv" then click Next. On the "Specify Table Copy or Query" page I choose "Write a query to specify the data to transfer" then
click Next. I type the following SQL statement:
SELECT * FROM testTable;
When clicking the "Parse" button I get the message "This SQL statement is valid."
On to the next page, "Configure Flat File Destination" I try leaving the defaults then click Next. This is where I am getting the error message (see screenshot below):
Then going to the "Edit Mappings..." option on the "Configure Flat File Destination" page, I see that all columns which were defined as varchar in the table are showing as type "byte stream [DT_BYTES]", size "0", the state column which is defined as char(2)
shows correctly however with type "string [DT_STR]", size "2" (see screenshow below):
So what I have to do is change the type for the lname, fname, address and city columns to "string [DT_STR]", then I am able to proceed with the export successfully. Again, this just started happening after installing these updates. As you can imagine, this
is very frustrating, as I do a lot of exports from many tables, with a lot more columns than this test table.
Thanks for your help.

Problem to create "New Database Diagram" in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2012 SQL Express

Hi,
I have installed SQL Server 2012 Express edition (name of installation media: en_sql_server_2012_express_edition_with_advanced_services_x64.exe) from MSDN and I have installed the application on my pc with Windows 7 Exterprise.
Everything is working fine except when I am trying to create "New Database Diagram", where I recieve following error message:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. (Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop)
BUTTONS:
OK
I have tried two times to reinstall SQL Server 2012 Express and I have installed Cumulative Update #3 for SQL Server 2012 and restarted the machine, but I have still the same problem with the same error message.
Installed the following fixes:
1) 2012_RTM_DAC_CU3_2723749_11_0_2332_x64
2) SQLServer2012_RTM_CU3_2723749_11_0_2332_x64
These files was installed successful.
How can I solve the problem?

Jan Nilsson

Hi Jan,
Have you installed Visual Studio in your machine?
The problem seems to be related to installing and uninstalling the VS 2011 RC0 program.
The workaround involves copying the files from another PC with SQL 2008 or 2012 from one machine to another. Just replace this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\MSDesigners8

How to open sdf files in SQL server 2012?

How to open sdf files in SQL server 2012?

Thank you
Best
Jamal

I don't think it's hard if understood the question properly you can try this I do it most of the time and this might be the solution for you, sometimes minor simple click is a life saver:)
1.
Open SQL Server Management Studio, or if it's running select File -> Connect Object Explorer... and click the
connect drop down arrow
2.
In the Connect to Server dialog you will see Database Enghine, Analaysis Servie on so on and you go head change Server type to
SQL Server Compact Edition
3.
From the Database file drop-down as shown below click the drop down arrow and select <
Browse for more...>
4.
And you will see C:\, D:\, G:\
drive and so on and open, your SDF file where it is located
I hope this has been informative for you and good luck

http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3036601
After using MDS for a while, the transaction/validation/staging history may grow very large. In this CU we provide 3 store procedure to clean them up manually.
The fix will be ported over to SQL 2012 SP2 and SQL 2014 CUs in the coming 2 months.
In next SQL Server release, it will be automated by MDS maintenance job.
--@ModelID is the model ID that you clean up the log for.

Question : Service Accounts for SQL Server 2012

Hello,
I am planning to create AD accounts for SQL Server 2012 services that will be installed on Windows 2012 server.
I was reading the following
Configure Windows Service Accounts and Permissions
and
Windows Privileges and Rights
Is there a recommendation / document that would list that assocation of SQL Server Services with Actvie Directory service accounts / privileges required for installation and starting the services.
Isn't it recommended to create separate account for every service and they should not be local accounts ?
Hope to hear soon as to what industry standards are being followed for production systems ?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards
Nikunj

From MSDN:
Each service in SQL Server represents a process or a set of processes to manage authentication of SQL Server operations with Windows. Each service can be configured to use its own service account. This facility is exposed
at installation. SQL Server provides a special tool, SQL Server Configuration Manager, to manage the services configuration.
When choosing service accounts, consider the principle of least privilege. The service account should have exactly the privileges that it needs to do its job and no more privileges. You also need to consider account isolation; the service accounts should
not only be different from one another, they should not be used by any other service on the same server. Do not grant additional permissions to the SQL Server service account or the service groups.
From Glen Berry's Blog:
You should request that a dedicated domain user account be created for use by the SQL Server service. This should just be a regular, domain account with no special rights on the domain. You do not need or want this account to be a local admin on the machine
where SQL Server will be installed. The SQL Server setup program will grant the necessary rights on the machine to that account during installation.
You will also want a separate, dedicated domain user account for the SQL Server Agent service. If you are going to be installing and using other SQL Server related services such as SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS),
or SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), you will want dedicated domain accounts for each service. The reason you want separate accounts for each service is because they require different rights on the local machine, and having separate accounts is both more
secure and more resilient, since a problem with one account won’t affect all of the SQL Server Services.
Depending on your organization, getting these domain accounts created could take anywhere from minutes to weeks to complete, so make sure to allow time for this. For each one of these accounts, you will need their logon credentials for the SQL Server setup
program. You are going to want to make sure that the accounts don’t have a temporary password that must be changed during the next login. If they are set up that way, make sure to change them to use a strong password, and record this information in a secure
location.

How to uninstall/remove security update for SQL Server 2012

My requirement is to uninstall/remove security update for SQL
Server 2012 Service Pack 1 only. so are these below steps are correct or do I need to take any extra precaution for uninstallation?
Go to Control panelàProgramsà
Programs and FeaturesàInstalled Updrtes, right click on update and uninstall
As per my knowledge in SQL Server 2005, we cannot uninstall a service pack. we have to uninstall SQL Server 2005 completely, and reinstall SQL Server 2005 with previous service
packs and updates. but Starting SQL Server 2008, we can uninstall a service pack using Control Panel.
