SQL 2012: change startup parameter without GUI

I would like change SQL startup parameter like -l, -d,-e without using SQL Server Configuration Manager. I want to use command line...how can I do it ?

If its SQL server 2008 R2 SP2 and higher we have DMV(dm_server_registry). As the Registry holds the startup parameters can be different for different
instances using dm_server_registry DMV will return the correct path for startup parameters.
select * from sys.dm_server_registry where value_name like 'SQLArg%'
SQLArg0 identifies the master db data file.
SQLArg1 identifies the Errorlog folder.
SQLArg2 identifies the master db log file.

T-sql 2012 accept null parameter values

The following t-sql 2012 works fine in sql management studio. However when I place it in a .net 2010 web form application, I am told the sql does not work when the parameter values are null. Thus can you tell me what I can change in the sql below that will
accept null as 3 possible input values?
SELECT i.[lastName]
            ,i.[firstName]
            ,i.[middleName]
            ,i.[suffix]
            ,a.[userid]
            ,a.schoolnum
            ,a.spa
            ,a.mrref
            from [OPS].[dbo].[Identity] i
            inner join [OPS].[dbo].[Person] p on i.identityID = p.currentIdentityID
            inner join [OPS].[dbo].[UserAccount] u on u.personID = p.personID
            inner join [CampusOps].[dbo].[AtnLtrUsers] a on a.userid =u.username
                   where (i.[lastName] like '%' + @lname + '%' or i.[firstName] like'%' +
@fname + '%'
                   or i.[middleName] like'%' + @mname + '%')
or (@fname is null and @lname is null and @mname is null)
      order by i.[lastName], i.[firstName], i.[middleName]"

You should create a stored procedure for this.
create procedure GetNames
(@lname varchar(max) = null, @fname varchar(max) = null, @mname varchar(max) = null)
as
begin
SELECT i.[lastName]
,i.[firstName]
,i.[middleName]
,i.[suffix]
,a.[userid]
,a.schoolnum
,a.spa
,a.mrref
from [OPS].[dbo].[Identity] i
inner join [OPS].[dbo].[Person] p on i.identityID = p.currentIdentityID
inner join [OPS].[dbo].[UserAccount] u on u.personID = p.personID
inner join [CampusOps].[dbo].[AtnLtrUsers] a on a.userid =u.username
where (i.[lastName] like '%' + @lname + '%' or @lname is null) and
(i.[firstName] like'%' + @fname + '%' or @fname is null) and
(i.[middleName] like'%' + @mname + '%' or @mname is null)
order by i.[lastName], i.[firstName], i.[middleName]
end
Also keep in mind that NULL is different than an empty string but it should work exactly like a null anyway (unless your columns/fields are also NULLable).

SQL REPORTING 2008, 2012 - WHEN I CHANGE A PARAMETER WE HAVE ALWAYS A SCREEN REFRESH (POSTBACK)

hi,
my name is Pedro Mesquita, from Portugal Europe.
i have this problem with my client and it seems it is common to all other projects : i have a report with parameters depending on each other (but curiously this happens also with reports without depending parameters and the order for which thay are created
counts!) and when the user changes one parameter the screen (sql reporting front-end) does a postback and refreshs! is this by design by microsoft ?! the client wants to keep the previous rendered report to help him build the new one.
how can i avoid this?
microsoft help please?
best regards
Pedro Mesquita

Oh Microsoft.....
This means that we must build our front-end to control this "feature"....
AJAX would solve this....
Thank you.

Cluster startup parameter configuration change.

Hi All,
Could you please suggest steps to change SQL startup parameter in windows server 2008. I'm having patrol agent service configured in order to monitor the SQL instance, But due to mis-configuration patrol instance startup parameter is wrongly configued in
windows cluster. I am not quite sure..how to go on to sort it out.
Please suggest do i need to take downtime as well.

We are going to have to have a fair bit more information, as your problem statement does not make much sense. And, if you are asking specifics about SQL, it is better to ask questions in a SQL forum. There is actually a SQL forum dedicated to
high availability.
In either case, though, you will need to clarify what you mean. What makes you think you need to change the SQL start up parameters? You seem to be indicating issues with configuring a 'patrol agent', whatever that is. Maybe the vendor
can help you get that right. Are you sure that your issues are not around the 'patrol agent' and not around SQL startup parameters? Since we really don't know what you are trying to do, we don't know if it will cause downtime or not.

Change Tracking in SQL 2012 - Behavior Change

Hi,
We observed some change in behavior for Change Tracking feature in SQL 2012 Express. Sequence is as follows,
CT is not enabled at DB level. (Of course at table level too)
Created and populated table CTTEST with some rows, say 10 rows
Enabled CT at DB level
Enable CT for table CTTEST
Queried change tracking data, using change table function (select CT.* from CHANGETABLE(changes CTTEST, 0) CT). No rows returned. Perfect.
Updated few existing rows
Queried change tracking data using CHANGETABLE function as above. Now it returns the modified records. But SYS_CHANGE_OPERATION column shows as 'U', indicating update. Same scenario was tested in SQL 2008 Express, and we got SYS_CHANGE_OPERATION column
as 'I', indicating as Insert.
Is this a change in behavior? Can somebody clarify this?
Note: SQL Version is, "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.2100.60 (X64) Express Edition (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)"

Please note that I am not talking about CDC, but CT - Change Tracking and that too in Express edition.
Yes, I know, when we update primary key value, we will get a delete and insert transactions in CT. But my scenario is different. I am updating the rows, which are already available prior to enabling Change Tracking in that table. In that case only, I am
observing this.

Change SQL 2012 Security roles after installation

I installed SQL 2012 SP1 Standard edition and during the setup it asked me for the users for various service . I choose to keep them as default
After the installation i could see the services were not started, so i changed everything to Local System
Also in future i may need to change them to run under some domain service account.
What steps do i have to take to make sure approprate rights are granted to the accounts that run the SQL services. I could see Local System just had Public security role.
Can someone guide me on verifying what the security roles for accounts should be.

running them as domain account is a good thing and it does not need to part of admin group.
make sure your domain account has access backup paths/locations.
Also, make sure your account has "perform volume maintanence tasks" - to make use of INF.
Is your system 64 bit or 32 bit. if 64 bit, you are okay else you will need to enable lock pages in the memory for the service.
Below are the links to some articles that talk about this:

How can you change data on a SQL 2012 application database that uses availability groups from BizTalk server?

If you use the WCF-SQL adapter it is recommend that you set UseAmbientTransaction to true if you are changing data. I think this requires MSDTC to be enabled on the SQL server that you are changing the data on. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd787981.aspx)
I think that Availability groups does not support MSDTC. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms366279.aspx).

Point Imaged/Cloned Sharepoint 2010 to different/renamed SQL 2012 server - what needs to be changed/edited?

Newbie here... I am using our development VM's one has SP 2010 installed/working and configured and the other is SQL 2012 housing the DB's for the working SP sites and a third running IIS and hosting the pages. I want to use clones to copy to additional
VM's, rename the SQL and rename the SP 2010 (the IIS will stay the same just add the cloned site to it. MY question is "Is there an automated way of reconfiguring SP 2010 to point to the new SQL server? (I've already figured out how to change the SID
information and run the queries on the SQL, just need info on the SP 2010 part.)
Thanks,
Jon P.

You can't do this, don't try it. For VM purposes, SharePoint does not support:
Time Sync
Snapshotting/Checkpoints
VM Backups (e.g. SAN-based or VMDK/VHD-based backups)
You will cause problems doing what you're attempting to do, unless you isolate these VMs onto a new network that has no access to the production network -- in this case, you would also need a copy of one Domain Controller from production, as well.
Best bet is to build a new farm and restore content to it via content database/service application database restoration.

Increase Performance without changing profile parameter

Hi folks,
How to Increase the Performance without changing profile parameter ?

One of the easiest ways to gain some performance is to turn off any unnecessary services running on the server. Depending on the platform, you can gain some memory by just removing these (turn off sendmail or postfix if you are not sending any messages [monitoring or otherwise]).

SQL 2012 Management Studio Remote Servers Service Status Slow/Stops Working

This is a huge annoyance. I manage about 50 SQL instances of SQL Server versions 2005-2012 and I noticed that it takes 1-2 seconds to load the service status (green arrow) on each individual server. If you then connect to a server, you have to
wait for all the statuses to be loaded first in the Registered Servers list before it loads the statuses for servers in the Object Explorer. This happens whether the servers are registered in Local Server Groups or Central Management Servers, and whether
I have access to all servers (as windows local administrator and sa), or not. It also happens regardless of whether I run as Administrator or normally on my instance of SSMS (which is SQL 2012 Development on Windows Server 2008 R2).
These servers are also registered in alphabetical order by group and server name, which means that if I have "DEV" groups, they will be registered before "PROD", unless I rename accordingly. It sometimes takes a few minutes, if
I'm lucky, to get a server I connect to to load, which means I can't use SSMS to really manage any remote servers and start/stop/pause/resume/restart services.
Worse, sometimes due to a server becoming unavailable (due to updates/patches/failovers), SSMS is unable to load the service statuses anymore for any new server connections made to object explorer, resulting in the loss of ability to view/change service statuses.
In this case, there is no way to recover (Refresh of Central Management Servers does nothing), except to close SSMS and open it again, and then wait again for all the statuses to load.
I have lived with this since first installing SQL, and regardless of the Windows Updates and SQL patches applied, the problem has never gone away. This also happens if I load SSMS in Windows Server 2012. Its starting to become a huge issue now
that I have to patch several servers each month.
I have already checked WMI permissions, GPO, firewall, etc. as per all the suggestion on the internet, including this post
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic825246-146-1.aspx. None of these suggestions have made a difference, as my real problem is one of connectivity and performance, and
not security, which most of these suggestions apply to. Of note, all servers are in the same domain, firewall is disabled across the board, correct permissions for local administrators exist for remote registry settings, WMI, GPO, etc, and all service
accounts and windows accounts that are used are local admins and sysadmins.
My work-around has been to delete the Central Management Server and any local server group registered servers, close and re-launch SSMS, and then connect to a server I'm interested in via Object Explorer. Otherwise, close and re-launch will take forever.
My other alternative is to RDP into the remote server and manage services via SQL Configuration Manager locally.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, or make it go faster, I'd really appreciate it.
Diane

Hi Satish,
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Yes, I actually am already using work-arounds (i.e. methods other than SSMS) to accomplish my tasks. My issue is that this is supposed to be working and provide a nice GUI so that you can easily visualize
any issues, and address them directly, without having to hodge-podge access via scripts or 3rd-Party tools.
Since no one else has any comments, I guess there are no plans to make remote server administration work with SSMS properly then, and that kludge methods are the only ones being advocated.
