What licenses and how many should be taken for SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition

Hi,
Could you help me please with my problem: what licenses (per core or Server + CAL) should I take for SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition for the following environment:
SQl Server will be installed on VM with 1 core.
Physical processor is Intel Xeon CPU E7-4830, 2.13 GHz, 2131 Mhz.
Few people will have an access to the VM but SQL server is used for a web-application for about 200 users from Active Directory.
Great thanks in advance,
Lena

Hello,
Since the question is a license issue, you can call 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) to speak directly
to a Microsoft licensing specialist. You can also visit the following site for more information and support on licensing issues:

How to calculate the HFM Cube size in SQL Server-2005

Hi
How to calculate the HFM Cube size in SQL Server-2005 ?
Below query used for Oracle. Then what is query for SQL Server?
SQL> select sum(bytes/1024/1024) from dba_segments where segment_name like 'FINANCIAL_%' and owner='HFM';
SUM(BYTES/1024/1024)
SQL> select sum(bytes/1024/1024) from dba_segments where segment_name like 'HSV FINANCIAL%' and owner='HFM';
SUM(BYTES/1024/1024)
Regards
Smilee

What is your objective? The subcube in HFM is a concept which applies to the application tier - not so much to the database tier. The size of the subcube is the unique number of data strips (data values for January - December inclusive, for example) for the given entity, currency triplet or Parent.Child node. You have to account for parent accounts and customs which don't exist in the database but are generated in RAM in the application tier.
So, if your objective is to find the largest subcubes, you could do this by querying the database and counting the number of records per entity/value (DCE tables) or parent.child entity combination (DCN tables). I'm not versed in SQL, but I think the script below would just tell you the schema size and not the subcube sizes.
Check out Accelatis.com for a third party software product that can do this for you. The feature is called the Subcube Analyzer and was written by the same team that wrote HFM, so they ought to know how this works :-)

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.

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services Error Code = 0x80040E05

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).

Can't install the Windows Update package KB2674319 (SQL Server 2012 SP1)

Hi. I need to get the update of my MS SQL Server 2012 installation in order to get the SP1.
When I run the Windows Update it appears to download well the package.
Then when it begins to install I get the error "84C4000E: Se ha producido un error con Windows Update" (our server is in Spanish).
I have the last updates for Windows Server, a rebooted our server and the issue remains.
Any idea of what should I do to get the SP1 update?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gustavo,
Based on your description, I suggest you should refer to the following articles. And then check if you can install the update successfully.

You can download
SQL Server 2012 enterprise evaluation edition.
After download is finished locate setup file and right click on it and select run as administrator when you reach page where you have to select Evaluation edition or enter Key for licensed edition please enter the license key and continue with installation.
After installation completes you would get standard edition
run below to check
select @@Version

Upgrade the Edition for SQL Server 2012

Hi All,
After spending 3hrs on the phone to MS in India I'm trying here as a last resort!
I'm trying to upgarde my SQL server 2012 Developer version from Evaluation to a full copy. I've been told that my Product key (Note I do not have a Product ID) is legit from the front line support.
However when I run hte SQL Server Installation Center (as an Administrator) I go to the following:
Maintenance
Edition upgrade
Pass first validation
Then enter in the Product Key and I get the following back in SQL:
"There are validation errors on this page. Click OK to Close this dialog box. Review Errors at the bottom of the setup page, then provide valid parameters or click help for more information".
I can only click on OK and then I'm left with either Next (same thing happens) or Cancel (which halts the full installation) finally help (which is useless).
Any help and ideas greatly appreciated!!!
Gavin

Hello,
Make sure the product language of the SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition is the same of the Evaluation Edition you have
installed. If they have different product language, you may receive the "There are validation errors on this page" error message.
For more information, please read the following resource:

How to download SQL Server 2012 Standard Trial Version?

Hello,
I would like to try Standard Edition of SQL Server 2012. Where I can download it?
I followed this link www.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/get-sql-server/try-it.aspx and downloaded and installed. But when I check in SQL Server Management Studio (Mangement Studio->Server->Properties->Generals->Product), it shows "Microsoft
SQL Server Enterprise Evaluation (64-bit)".
As I don't need Enterprise Edition for my project, I would like to test with Standard Edition for few days before purchasing.
Please advise.
Thanks in advanced.

Hello,
There is no edition specific to evaluation edition.Its same as enterprise but you can use it maximum for 6 months and you cnanot use it in production.Use below link for Eval edtn
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=29066
Now there is no standard evaluation edition.If you want to specifically test on Stand. edition you need to buy a license copy.But i guess you want to test some non enterprise features so you need to by stand for it.
Can you tell me what you want to test specifically I will tell you whether stand or ent will make any differnce or not

kneeah

Hi kneeah,
According to your description, SQL 2012 database diagram is not printed correctly and several of column names are missed. There are some suggestions for troubleshooting this issue, you can refer to the following steps.
1. We recommend you can copy database diagram to Word and check if it will print correctly.
2. When printing database diagrams, several of the tables contain large grey squares instead of the column names. We recommend switch Windows XP computer from Classic theme to Windows XP theme, and check if it can print correctly.
There is more similar issue about printing database diagram, you can review the following posts.

How to get PDF iFilter to recognize "pdf" document_type instead of ".pdf" in SQL Server 2012

Hi,
If this isn't the correct forum for this question, I apologize.
I am running SQL Server 2012 on a Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) laptop and wish to be able to perform Full-Text searches against the contents of PDF files that have been loaded into my database using a FileTable. I have not been able to get the PDF iFilter v11.0 working whatsoever so I uninstalled it and installed v9.0 of the Adobe PDF iFilter. I have confirmed that this filtering works on PDF documents I've inserted into a regular table and specified the file_type as '.pdf'. However, when SQL Server loads the documents into a FileTable, the filter_type is set to 'pdf' (note: the period is not included -- ".pdf"). When I issue the ALTER FULLTEXT INDEX <tablename> START FULL POPULATION, no indexing occurs against the FILETABLE.
I've examined the Full-Text Search crawl log and there are no errors occurring. Simply messages stating the population is starting and then completed.
I've searched the forums here and elsewhere and haven't been able to find a work-around for this.
Is there any way to get the PDF iFilter to recognize the 'pdf' filter_type in addition to the '.pdf' filter_type?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Steve

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.
