Sharepoint 2007 using sql server 2012 database server

We still have an old SharePoint 2007 farm that runs on SQL Server 2008 and Reporting Services 2008. I would like to migrate this app over to SQL Server 2012. From what I gather SharePoint 2007 supports SQL 2012 if you are running WSS service pack 3 and
SharePoint server service pack 3 I am already on SP3.  So my question is who all here is running SharePoint 2007 on SQL 2012 and have you had any problems? 

Yes I have an environment that is SPS 2007 wSP3 and SQL Server 2012, and have been doing this for 2 months. So far, no problems. There have been issies with User Profile services, but those turned out to be unrelated.
Kind regards,

  • From SharePoint Content Database, Using SQL-Server Query how to fetch the 'Document GUID' based on 'Content Type'

    I want to get all the documents based on content type using SQL Server Query. I know that, querying the content database without using API is not advisable, but still i want to perform this action through SQL Server Query. Can someone assist ?

    You're right, it's not advisable, may result in corruption of your databases and might impact performance and stability. But assuming you're happy to do that then it is possible.
    Before you go down that route, have you considered using something more safe like PowerShell? I've seen a script exactly like the one you describe and it would take far less time to do it through PS than it would through SQL.

  • SharePoint 2010 and SQL Server 2012 issue

    Hi,
    I have SharePoint 2010 integrated with SQL Server 2008 R2 in my machine. I wanted to use Power View feature, so I went for SQL Server 2012 installation. Now when I try to create the SQL Server Reporting service service application, it says, this feature
    is not supported by current version of database.
    Please let me know how to fix the issue. Do I need to reinstall SharePoint 2010 once again using SQL Server 2012 ?
    thanks

    The only requirements for SSRS Integrated mode/PowerView are that you're using SharePoint Enterprise and SQL Enterprise/BI and that SharePoint be installed and joined to the farm on the server where you're also installing SSRS.
    You need to reconfigure your sharepoint farm farm to use SQL server 2012

  • 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!

    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

  • Installing SharePoint 2013 with SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition

    Hi,
    Can we use SQL Server 2012 Developer edition with SharePoint 2013?  One thing that came to my mind was setting max degree of parallelism, is that supported in Developer edition?  Looking forward to your assistance here.
    Thanks,
    kashif

    I'm slightly incorrect. See http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/4/A/64A1EC8F-F575-41E1-9D34-821FA9F98F8E/SQL_Server_2012_Licensing_Reference_Guide.pdf.
    Licensing SQL Server for Non-production Use
    The SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition is a full-function version of the SQL Server software—with all the 
    features and capabilities of the Enterprise edition—licensed under the Developer Tools model, which is a “per 
    user” model. One license is required for each person that accesses or uses the software. 
    When using SQL Server software for development, test or demonstration purposes, only the users are licensed 
    and there is no need for a corresponding license for the actual server systems running SQL Server software in 
    this case. 
    As long as only licensed users have access to the software, customers can install as many copies of the software 
    on any number of servers that are used exclusively for development, test or demonstration purposes. This 
    is significant, because it allows customers to run the software on multiple devices (for testing purposes, for 
    example) without having to license each non-production server system.
    But no, as you can see above, you'll have no issues with the software (Developer Edition is Enterprise Edition with licensing restrictions, but no functionality restrictions).

  • Using SQL Server 2012 SSIS to Extract Data From SAP

    Hi
    What is the current best practice for using SQL Server 2012 SSIS to extract data from SAP R3? Please note we are looking for a solution that does not use SAP BW or SAP OHS.
    Ideally we would like to build our ETL SSIS process to make a .NET call to an SAP RFC procedure and avoid using web services.
    With SS2012 can we use any of these without using SAP BW:
    - SAP .NET Connector
    - MS ADO .NET
    - BizTalk .NET 3.0 Adapter
    Thanks and take care,
    Shayne

    Hi Shayne,
    You can use the .NET Framework Data Provider for mySAP Business Suite along with SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS) to import data from an SAP system into SQL Server database tables, flat files, or other compatible destination types. You can create an SSIS
    package that can be executed to import data from an SAP system.
    You must use the SQL Server Import and Export wizard to import data into the SQL Server database. You must provide a select query to specify data to be imported. The query must confirm to the semantics supported by the Data Provider for SAP. You can start the
    SQL Server Import Export Wizard either from the SQL Server Management Studio or from an Integration Service project in Visual Studio. Detail steps please see:
    Importing SAP Data Using SQL Server Management Studio:

  • 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.

  • 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

    FWIW, my own (ugh) install of 11.1.1.3 32 bit on my laptop (oh, soon I am going to jettison this thing and move to a 32 gig laptop) I am using SQL Server 2005. A client from last year used the same release of SS but I think the 64 bit release. John Booth's EPM AMI uses SQL Server Express 2008. IOW, yeah, you can totally use SQL Server with the EPM suite. I think that there is an exception for ERPi, but I could be wrong about that. For sure I used ODI 11.1.1.5 with SQL Server as I (gasp) set that up myself out on the cloud.
