SQL Server 2012 Express (x64)

OS+ Windows 8.1 (x64)
I Installed SQL Server Express 2012.
The following day, I had 4 updates (SP1) relating to Visual Studio 2010.
I tried to install the 4 files, but nothing happened and I was forced to perform a hard reset. I do not have VS 2010 installed, only the shell.
I would be grateful for some help please.

Am I right in thinking that Windows thinks I have VS 2010 installed and cannot update what is not there?
Regards and thanks.
Ros
PS I am not quite sure what you wanted me to do to contact you.
SSMS uses Visual Studio Shell.
Rather than replying on forum, sometimes its faster to chat and exchange thoughts. If you don't want that I am fine replying here.
My idea would be to download and then those updates manually.

SQL Server 2012 Express bulk Insert flat file 1million rows with "" as delimeter

Hi,
I wanted to see if anyone can help me out. I am on SQL server 2012 express. I cannot use OPENROWSET because my system is x64 and my Microsoft office suit is x32 (Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0).
So I used Import wizard and is not working either.
The only thing that let me import this large file, is:
CREATE TABLE #LOADLARGEFLATFILE
Column1
varchar(100), Column2 varchar(100), Column3 varchar(100),
Column4 nvarchar(max)
BULK INSERT
#LOADLARGEFLATFILE
FROM 'C:\FolderBigFile\LARGEFLATFILE.txt'
WITH
FIRSTROW = 2,
FIELDTERMINATOR ='\t',
ROWTERMINATOR ='\n'
The problem with CREATE TABLE and BULK INSERT is that my flat file comes with text qualifiers - "". Is there a way to prevent the quotes "" from loading in the bulk insert? Below is the data.
Column1
Column2
Column3
Column4
"Socket Adapter"
8456AB
$4.25
"Item - Square Drive Socket Adapter | For "
"Butt Splice"
9586CB
$14.51
"Item - Butt Splice"
"Bleach"
6589TE
$27.30
"Item - Bleach | Size - 96 oz. | Container Type"

Hi lgnusLumen,
According to your description, you use BULK INSERT to import data from a data file to the SQL table. However, to be usable as a data file for bulk import, a CSV file must comply with the following restrictions:
1. Data fields never contain the field terminator.
2. Either none or all of the values in a data field are enclosed in quotation marks ("").
In your data file, the quotes aren't consistent, if you want to prevent the quotes "" from loading in the bulk insert, I recommend you use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard tools in SQL Server Express version. area, it will allow to strip the
double quote from columns, you can review the following screenshot.
In other SQL Server version, we can use SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to import data from a flat file (.csv) with removing the double quotes. For more information, you can review the following article.
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1316/strip-double-quotes-from-an-import-file-in-integration-services-ssis/
In addition, you can create a function to convert a CSV to a usable format for Bulk Insert. It will replace all field-delimiting commas with a new delimiter. You can then use the new field delimiter instead of a comma. For more information, see:

VB 2012 Express and SQL server 2012 Express

My Windows 7 computer just crashed and I am trying to resurrect my VB 2012 Express code. I have been using Access 2007 but lost my license info and installation media, so I am considering a change to SQL server 2012. I have downloaded it, but
I haven't a cue as to how to use it. I need to convert my old Access 2007 data and then connect the result to my VB 2012 code.
Please help.
RONATMOODYLAKE

I know how to use a database engine, but what I downloaded as SQL server 2012 Express seems to be something else. I am in <st1:place w:st="on">Africa</st1:place> and things don't work well here. I
have an app that says SQL error and usage reporting, and when I answer the questions nothing happens. This must not be the SQL 2012 Server Express (or is it?). Maybe you can point me to a useful download link. What I have is totally obscure.
Here is my goal: I have a completed VB 2012 project that uses Access 2007. My Windows 7 computer crashed and I am desperately trying to move the application to a Windows 8 machine. I do not
have my installation disks for Access, so I thought I would give SQL server a try. I obviously downloaded the wrong thing. The Microsoft web site gives me the following download choices - none of these make sense and they are not explained - please
help - I downloaded the first one and it seems useless:

SqlLocalDB.exe not Installed when sql Server 2012 Express (LocalDb Edition) is installed

I have been having a very frustrating time trying to connect to a localDB instance of SQL Server 2012. So I started again from scratch on another computer (Windows 7). I first installed sql server 2012 Express with tools (via ENU\x64\SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe)
and then installed the LocalDB Edition via sqlLocalDB.msi. The first installation seems to have gone OK. The second installation proceeded normally and finally advised that "Setup has installed SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB successfully."
A whole lot of files were installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, including sqlservr.exe. But the SqlLocalDB.exe utility was
not amongst them.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening here? From where can I download a copy of sqlLocalDB.exe

A whole lot of files were installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, including sqlservr.exe. But the SqlLocalDB.exe utility was
not amongst them.
The tool is located in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn

Setup closed with exit code: 0x84C40013 - Silent Install error - SQL Server 2012 express management studio SP1

I am trying to create a silent installation package for SQL Server 2012 Express Management Studio SP1. (both x86 & x64)
Prior to installation I have performed the following :
1. Turned ON the Windows feature 'Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1' (I had read somewhere on the internet that this is required prior to installation)
2. Installed Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0
I am using the following command line to perform an unattended install :
<EXENAME> /Q /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=install /FEATURES=Tools
However, the installation fails abruptly.
The application installs successfully with the following command line :
<EXENAME> /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=install /FEATURES=Tools
The error occurs only while attempting to install the application with the /Q switch appended.
Please help.

Hello Fanny,
Thanks for providing the link to the SQL Server 2012 unattended install guide.
However, I must highlight that I was running the setup.exe with "Run As a Administrator" option and still facing the issue.
Anyways, I found out the root cause and I must say that it was a rather silly one.
As I had stated previously, the following command line was causing the issue :
<EXENAME>
/Q /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=install /FEATURES=Tools
I simply changed it to the following and it worked....
<EXENAME>
/QUIET /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=INSTALL /FEATURES=TOOLS
It so seems that everything must be in CAPITALS for this to work.
Regards,
Soumen

SSMS for SQL Server 2012 Express on Windows Embedded 8 Standard

Hello,
I have installed SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Tools (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe, downloaded from MS website) on Windows Embedded 8 Standard 64-bit. But, when I try to find SQL Server Management Studio, I realized it's not installed (same installation
package works fine on my Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit laptop, where SSMS gets installed). How do I fix this? And any other ways for trouble-shooting DBs on Windows Embedded 8 Standard?
Thanks,
Jay

Below is the content of a summary file for the installation. BTW, I also try to find its ConfigurationFile.ini file for future installation on other computers, but it's not in the folder specified in the summary file either (see below).
Thanks.

SQL Server 2012 Express Instance is Not Discovered

I have a single SQL Server 2012 Express instance that is the backend database for a small door security application. I just noticed after having deployed the OpsMgr agent months ago that it never discovered the SQL instance. The SQL instance
is, as stated, Express, and it's the only Express instance I have. Is that why it is not discovered? All the documentation I found seems to indicate the opposite -- that Express is discovered and there are steps you can take to exclude Express
instances. I have no overrides set to exclude any instance or any database.
- System Center Operations Manager 2012 RTM (no SP1, no R2)
- SQL Server 2012 MP version 6.3.173.1
- SQL Server is Windows Server 2012
- SQL Server 2012 Express running on a Hyper-V VM. Instance is named DOORSERVER\Eclipse
- Agent is installed and other discoveries seem to be working fine
- No discovery errors in the event log related to SQL, although there is one about the Windows Server 2008 discovery not being able to start, but I'm on Windows Server 2012, so I am guessing that's okay?
- No overrides are set on the discovery
- Discovery has found every other SQL Server 2012 instance (standard and enterprise editions)

Well, just realized I didn't have the latest MP. Upgrading to 6.4.1.0 version of the SQL MP fixed the discovery issue.

SQL Server 2012 Express - Could not load the file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop

Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1
64-bit
I just installed SQL Server 2012 express - Express with Advanced Services (contains the database engine, Express Tools, Reporting Services, and Full Text Search),
file name - SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.
Opening SQL Server Management Studio causes the error -
"Could not load the file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop,
Version=7.1.40304.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The
system cannot find the file specified."
Do I need to install another file? Did I download the wrong version?
Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

Hello,
The issue may occure when the installation of your SQL Server is not a complete or a successful one. Did you try to repair or reinstall the SQL Server Express? You can also try to install
Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2012
to check if the issue presists.

SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB parm for keeping unicode char

in developer's windows 8.1 pc, the SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB does not seem to keep Unicode like \U2221. it get translated to the plain - instead of keeping as
−.
what parameter od I need to setup to make sure it keep such character as is

Hi fs - ab,
You know that this forum is to discuss the VS IDE, to make this issue clearly, could you share us a screen shot for this issue? Where did you change your localDB with Unicode?
I did some research about it.
LocalDB supports two kinds of instances: Automatic instances and named instances.
•Automatic instances of LocalDB are public. They are created and managed automatically for the user and can be used by any application. One automatic instance of LocalDB exists for every version of LocalDB installed
on the user’s computer. Automatic instances of LocalDB provide seamless instance management. There is no need to create the instance; it just works. This allows for easy application installation and migration to a different computer. If the target machine
has the specified version of LocalDB installed, the automatic instance of LocalDB for that version is available on the target machine as well. Automatic instances of LocalDB have a special pattern for the instance name that belongs to a reserved namespace.
This prevents name conflicts with named instances of LocalDB. The name for the automatic instance is a single v character followed by the LocalDB release version number in the format xx.x. For example, v11.0 represents SQL Server 2012.
•Named instances of LocalDB are private. They are owned by a single application that is responsible for creating and managing the instance. Named instances provide isolation from other instances and can improve performance
by reducing resource contention with other database users. Named instances must be created explicitly by the user through the LocalDB management API or implicitly via the app.config file for a managed application (although managed application may also use
the API, if desired). Each named instance of LocalDB has an associated LocalDB version that points to the respective set of LocalDB binaries. The instance name of a LocalDB is sysname data type and can have up to 128 characters. (This differs from regular
named instances of SQL Server, which limits names to regular NetBIOS names of 16 ASCII chars.) The name of an instance of LocalDB can contain any Unicode characters that are legal within a filename.
A named instance that uses an automatic instance name becomes an automatic instance.
Reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh510202(v=sql.110).aspx
It seems that it is related to the SQL Server, am I right? If so, maybe the SQL Server forum would be better for this issue.
If I have misunderstood this issue, please feel free to let me know.
Best Regards,
Jack

SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB parm for keeping unicode char from TextBox

Platform: developer's windows 8.1 pc with visual studio 2012 pro, .net 4.5, sql express 2012 express and localDB
in a textbox, say textTbx on a windows form, if there is Unicode like \U2221, I can have to save to file and read back without change using textTbx.Text value.
however for the content in the textTbx.Text value, upon saving to
SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB, and then retrieved, the content gets changed for some Unicode like
U2221. it get translated to the plain - instead of keeping as
−.
what parameter do I need to setup to make sure it keep such character as is?
Btw: I had posted to visual studio general forum but was asked to post here

Hello,
In this case, we could convert the text value to varbinary type before storing them to sql, and we could convert it back to the encoded one, you could change UTF-8 to the one you are dealing with.
You could refer to the suggestions shared by Filip Ekberg in the following thread.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11859926/load-or-convert-varbinary-from-sql-to-textbox-text
Here's an example on how you convert a text to bytes and then back again:
var bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("test");
This will give you a byte array that looks like this:
{ 116, 101, 115, 116 }
Now to get the text again, you can use Encoding.UTF8.GetString() like this:
Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);
This means that you could simple do this when saving the value:
cmdb.Parameters.AddWithValue("@text", Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(textreview.Text));
And then when loading it back you simply do this:
textreview.Text = Encoding.GetString((byte[])dr["text"]);
Regards.

SQL Server 2012 Express error 9002 while restoring a backup from 2008

Hi all,
I have installed SQL Server 2012 Express on my laptop operating with win 8. Then I took the backup in my old laptop with SQL Server 2008R Express / Windows 7 and tried to restore it to the new one.
After it restored it produced an error messaging saying that restore failed. The error code was 9002 and it says due to NOTHING. I checked the log file it is a file of 1024 kb size, not big. When I installed the SQL 2012 I disabled the autogrowth of the
log file (exactly same setting as I had with 2008) The log is not big. I tried to further shrink, no change.
Moreover the db is already there with full records, I can manipulate it. Even take a back w/o problems. What is this issue? Is it resolved?
thanks

an error messaging saying that restore failed. The error code was 9002
and it says due to NOTHING. I
select *

Is your disk may low on free space?

SQL Server 2012 Express Install on Windows 7 SP1 Embedded not using virtual account?

Hi there,
I did a default installation of SQL Server 2012 Express on Windows 7 embedded Standard SP1.
When I look at the SQLSERVER service credential it is configured to run under "NETWORK SERVICE" instead of the virtual account "NT SERVICE\MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS".
This is different from SQL 2012 Express installation on a non-embedded Windows 7.
Why is this difference?
Secondly, because of this, I am unable to take a backup of databases to any folder other than the default SQL folder.

Hi Chandrasekaran,
As Local Service account, the Network Service account and high privileged Local System account could be used by many services.
It becomes harder to track which service is actually accessing resources and performing actions, because all the services are using the one Network Service account or other account.
In Windows7 and Windows Server 2008R2, it introduces a new type of account called a virtual account, which emulates creating many unique instances of the Network Service account, so each service runs with its own instance of the Network Service account.
For example, when you install SQL 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 and later you’ll see the services run with virtual service accounts named like:
in the format NT SERVICE\<SERVICENAME>.
According to your description, when the SQLSERVER service was run under “NETWORK SERVICE”, you only back up database to the default SQL folder. It may be caused by the NETWORK SERVICE account has limited local privileges, just accesses network
resource with the computer credential. I recommend you change the account to Local System account, by default, which has full permissions on your computer.
For more information about SQL Server service account and virtual account, you can review the following articles.
