SQL Server 2012 PDW - Controling the physical location of a data partition

In PDW for distributed tables, is it possible to know/control which partition will reside in which storage node? Assuming I have 4 compute nodes, and I have data with partitions A, B, C and D (all tables will have only 4 partitions), can I design in a manner
that partition A definitely goes to Compute node 1, partition B to Compute node 2, C to 3 and D to 4?
Please share your thoughts with me.

The idea of a MPP-based DW appliance is to hide the complexity from the user. Crucial is the choice of the column for the hash key. Everything else should be taken care by the query engine/optimizer. Can you please provide a little bit more context why
you want to 'go into the business' of managing single partitions etc.? Thanks

After Installing SQL Server 2012 Service Pack the RDL reports do not work

I installed SQL Server 2012 Service Pack on backEnd sharepoint and also on BI Server that host Reporting Service.(Before installation everything was working properly)
After this installation the RDL reports do not open and I receive this error message.
The permissions granted to user 'domain\username' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
I also receive the same error message on changing DataSource, Parameters and subscription.
I should mention that, I am using Reporting Services in the Integration Mode. I want to open and modify RDL reports from SharePoint and inside the SharePoint Document Library.

Hi Hedayat,
Thanks for posting your issue,
To solve this problem you have to grant your SQL Reporting Service Application Pool
Account (whatever is running your SQL Service Application, see Central Admin -> Manage Service Application -> SQL Server Reporting Services)
Full Control to the web application that report is being deployed to in your particular case.
Or you could just use the powershell command below:
$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication –Identity http://yoursharepointapp
$webApp.GrantAccessToProcessIdentity(“domain\SSRSAccount”)

SQL Server 2012 - Wat Is The Best Solution For Creating a Read Only Replicated/AlwaysOn Database

Hi there I was wondering if someone may have a best recommendation for the following requirement I have with regards setting up a third database server for reporting?
Current Setup
SQL Server 2012 Enterprise setup at two sites (Site A & Site B).
Configured to use AlwaysOn Availability groups for HA and DR.
Installed on Windows 2012 Servers.
This is all working and failover works fine and no issues. So…
Requirement
A third server needs to be added for the purpose of reporting, to be located on another site (Site C) possibly in another domain. This server needs to have a replicated read only copy of the live database from site A or Site B, whichever is in use. The Site
C reporting database should be as up-to-date to the Site A or Site B database as possible – preferably within a few seconds anyway….
Solution - What I believe are available to me
I believe I can use AlwaysOn and create a ReadOnly replica for the Site C. If so do I assume Site C needs to have the Enterprise version of SQL server i.e. to match Site A & Site B?
Using log shipping which if I am correct means the Site C does not need to be an Enterprise version.
Any help on the best solution for this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Steve

for always on - all nodes should be part of one windows cluster..if there site C is on different domain - I do not think it works.
Logshipping works --as long as the sql on site C is is same or higher version(sql 2012 or above). you can only do read only.
IMHo, if you can make site C in the same domain then, Always is better solution else log shipping
also, if your database has enterprise level features such as - partitonin, data compression -- you cannot restore the database on lower editions- so you need to have enterprise edition.
Hope it Helps!!

SQL Server 2012 - Clustered installation fails - cannot locate MSIs

Hi forum
I have a query relating to SQL Server 2012 installation, on Windows Server 2012 R2 - SQL Server is Enterprise, Windows is SQL Server Standard Edition.
Our windows team have created two Windows Server 2012 machines, and installed and got cluster services running.
We've tried the installation of SQL Server 2012 RTM, slipstream SP1 and slipstream SP2, and all come up with an error during the installation - I've even tried the trial version of SQL Server 2012 (SP1), just in case there is a media issue.
Immediately after the window which it is installing the installation files, we get the error:
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
Failed to retrieve data for this request.
You'll see in the logfile of the installation below, that the installer cannot locate specific MSI files
e.g.
(01) 2015-03-02 11:29:18 Slp: Sco: File 'E:\x64\setup\x64\sql_fulltext.msi' does not exist
(01) 2015-03-02 11:29:18 Slp: Sco: File 'E:\x64\setup\x86\sql_fulltext.msi' does not exist
(01) 2015-03-02 11:29:18 Slp: Sco: File 'E:\x64\setup\x64\sql_dq.msi' does not exist
(01) 2015-03-02 11:29:18 Slp: Sco: File 'E:\x64\setup\x86\sql_dq.msi' does not exist
I've expanded and checked the ISO / IMG files and these files do not exist.
I'd suspect media corruption, however, the installer works fine on a stand-alone machine, and the same files are missing from two separate sets of installation media - so I think that rules it out.
If someone could give us a clue over what the problem is, we'd really appreciate it - we're trying to create a 2012 availability group setup, so need cluster services...
Many thanks
Carl.

Hello,
What the summary.txt log file says? Could you share the content of that file with us?
Have you tried to copy the media to a local drive, unzip the ISO file into a folder and run SQL Server setup from there.
Hope this helps.

SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server 2012 PPIV - using a PPIV workbook as a data source - getting PPIV web service error

I created a PowerPivot (SQL Server 2012 SP1) workbook and uploaded it to SharePoint 2010 Portal and started using it as a data source in an excel file. This worked fine and we saw no issues with it until we moved to SharePoint 2013 environment.
I uploaded the same PowerPivot workbook (source workbook) to SharePoint 2013 Portal and now trying to use it as a data source. I tried to change connection properties so that I could use the new portal address for the workbook. When
I try to save my changes, I see that OLAP queries are getting fired "Refreshing OLAP cube" shows up in the status bar, but eventually after running these OLAP queries (I would say after a minute), I get the following error -
Couldn't find anything specific in SharePoint logs or maybe I wasn't looking for the right thing.
Has anyone seen this issue? Why would PPIV service throw an error after running for a while? Is it a timeout issue of some kind? How can we take care of this?
Thanks,
Sonal

ULS log showed the following exception: The maximum number of allowed sessions per user has been exceeded.
Under Excel Services global settings, max limit is set. Default is 25, increasing it resolved this issue.

Any extra settings I need to make for Sql Server 2012 Install for the purpose of SP 2013

Hi,
I am going to install sql serevr 2012 Ent on a stand alone server Win 2012 box[ say Server2] and I want to make this machine as a db box and will make other box[say Server1] SharePoint box.
[ On Server1 where there is no sql server installed ].
Do I need to make any extra settings /any mappings/config entries in this box before I install sql on this Server2 box.
I mean, in terms of creation of a separate sql instance is required etc ....
In my prev.installations as a standalone SP install with sql installed on the same box.
I am facing issue with development with SP 2013. Because though I am having 16GB RAM in one of my dev machines, with the s/ws like VS 2012, SP D 2013 along with SP 2013 & SQL SEREVR 2012, the debugging is almost NOT
happening[ its taking "minutes" to hit a breakpoint] at all.
help is appreciated!

Unable to uninstall sql server 2012 from Windows 7(ultimate) 64-bit SP1 version.

I am trying to install sql sever 2012 on my m/c but it's giving me error after partial installation.
Now I have successfully installed Sql Server 2008 R2 on my machine but when I am trying to uninstall 2012 sql server from my machine its giving an error regarding unsupported OS. However as mentioned earlier I have Windows 2007 Ultimate SP1 (64-bit) installed
on my machine which is included in valid platform for sql server 2012. Also I installed visual studio 2013 on my machine but it existed with error SqlServer\LocalDB not installed.

Hi pritamk,
According to your error message, as other post, you can uninstall SQL Server from command line, inaddition, another workaround is that change the compatibility mode of setup.exe to Vista SP2, then run “Remove” option from the control panel. You can refer
to the following steps.
Browse to your SQL setup bootstrap folder, For SQL Server 2012, this is the path "C:\Program Files \Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2012\".
Go to Setup.exe file and right click on Setup.exe. Then go to properties and click on "Compatibility" tab. Under "Compatibility mode", click on Run this program in compatibility mode for "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)". Then Click on "Apply" then "OK".
After that go to control panel -> Programs and Features -> and remove SQL Server 2012
There is similar issue about uninstalling SQL Server 2012 RC0 from control panel. You can review the following post.

Issue installing SQL Server 2012(with SP1) on windows 7 Error result: -2067529718

When running the installation, it suddenly stops without any error popup.
I ran the installation from the command prompt and this is what I get:
An error occurred during the SQL Server 2012 Setup operation.
Error result: -2067529718
Result facility code: 1220
Result error code: 10
I recently uninstalled SQL Server 2012 SP1, because the SQL server service was not starting up, it would just hang in there with no response. I tried many things to get that issue fixed, finally I decided to uninstall and start fresh but I couldn't since
I was getting an error stating that I needed Windows 7 SP1(which was already installed). I downloaded the
microsoft fix it tool which fixed the issue.
On the control panel/Programs and features, I still see that SQL Server 2012 is listed if I click to uninstall again it tells me:
An error occurred while trying to uninstall Microsoft SQL Server 2012. it may have already been uninstalled. do you want to remove Microsoft SQL Server 2012 from the Programs and features list?
if I click yes, eventually it will be listed again.
currently I'm not able to install SQL server again and besides the info provided there are not error messages (I also copied the installation files to disk).
UPDATE: it appears that the sql server was not completely removed from the system, I still see listed the SQL server(SQLExpress) and server browser services on the SQL server configuration manager.
Thanks.

1) First Reboot your server and try again for the installation.
2) If first fail again than Take a backup of Registry first for safe side and then delete the entries of SQL server 2012 if found take a reboot again and try to install again.
One more thing if installation created any file then move/Delete that also before installation.

SQL Server 2012- Memory Leak Issue

Team,
We are running a Mission Critical Application on SQL Server 2012 SP2(11.0.5058) which is configured on Always ON Synchronous mode. Offlate due to heavy development work, Application team have come up with stating memory issues. I have analysed all the areas
and everything looks normal. Please suggest if we have to patch the latest CU4 for SQL Server 2012 SP2.
The checks were performed on the below areas:
- Errorlog, System Logs - No errors reported.
- There are close to 8 Databases hosted on the instances which are all configured for AlwaysON. SQL Server is running on VM Infrastructure and the total physical memory allocated is 96GB out of which SQL is capped for 92GB.
-The Page Life Expectancy is healthy and is showing a greater number. There are no Signal waits either or pending memory grants.
- The writes are more than reads for one of the databases which is flagged with application team. There are no blockings & Deadlocks.
Please suggest me the future course of action and your inputs are much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Sharath

Actual issue is- Application team have reported a memory leak and their builds have significantly slowed down. They suspect that its Database memory leak. However I have verified from database end and gave the above inputs.
The AOAGs are good. I was looking for any pointers whether there are any bugs which is related to memory leaks in SQL Server 2012. I know all of them are addressed with SQL Server 2012 SP2.
Application team has NO idea about SQL Server do they ? And to say SQL Server has memory leak you have to actually prove it did they showed any proof. Its common for application team to say SQL Server is leaking memory because they are unaware about fact
by default SQL Server would take as much memory as possible and would release when SQLOS asks it to do so. This might give sign that it is leaking memory BUT IT IS NOT.
As you already said AOAG is working fine so I am presuming there is nothing much to worry. To monitor memory usage in SQL Server 2012 you can use below counters
SQL Server: Memory Manager-- Target Server Memory (KB)
SQL Server: Memory Manager--Total Server Memory (KB)
SQL Server: Memory Manager- Free Memory (KB)
SQL Server: Memory Manager--Database Cache Memory (KB)

SQL Server 2012 stops running after setup files are copied.

SQL Server 2012 setup stops running after setup files are copied.
I've experiencing the same issue on two different machines. Both are 64 bit running Server 2008.
On both of them I tried installing using the files from the ISO. I initially used winzip to extract the files. The setup was running fine, but the SQL Server engine had an error when it installed. Then using the Add/Remove programs i uninstalled all of the
SQL Server 2012 applications, including the setup files.
Now when i try to install using the "New SQL Server stand-alone..." wizard it will copy the setup files and then the wizard never comes back. I've tried mounting the ISO, extracting with winrar, Burning the ISO to a dvd and downloading the 3 files. I also
tried mounting ISO of the version that was just recently released. I run into the same issue with all of them.
Thanks for the help.

can you try
setup.exe
/Action=install /x86 /UpdateEnabled=false
If this doesn't work please use below FAQ to locate and upload SQL Server setup logss.

Thank you, it's work!!! :) Maybe problem was in /UpdateEnabled=false and I could try to install a x64 version... but too late, setup in progress and I do not want to have to try all over again :)

Uninstall SQL Server 2012 in Command Prompt

I need to make an uninstall script for SQL Server 2012 Express but I can't figger it out.
After I uninstalled the SQL instance with following command:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2012\setup.exe /Action=Uninstall /FEATURES=SQL,AS /INSTANCENAME=SQLEXPRESS /QUIETSIMPLE
There are still a couple of programs that I want to remove:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Setup Support Files
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Transact-SQL ScriptDom
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client
SQL Server Browser for SQL Server 2012
Microsoft VSS Writer for SQL Server 2012
Microsoft - SQL Server 2012 Express
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Setup (English)
Can someone please help me removing them without using 'Add or Remove Programs'
and preferably without any interaction.

Hi Michael1105,
Are there any other instances except SQL Server Express in your system?
To completely uninstall SQL Server Express include the Browser, Writer and other SQL Server components, I recommend you use the
ConfigurationFile.ini file. Below is an example for you.
Firstly, you can perform the following steps to generate a configuration file.
1. Right click SQL Server 2012 from control panel and select Remove
2. Follow the wizard through to the Ready to Remove page. The path to the configuration file is specified in the
Ready to Remove page in the configuration file path section.
3. Cancel the setup without actually completing the uninstallation, to generate the INI file.
Secondly, you can specify the configuration file at the command prompt and uninstall SQL Server 2012 Express, or you can change the scripts in configuration file to meet your requirement, then copy the scripts
in command prompt to uninstall SQL Server 2012 Express.

Is it possible to install SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition on a Windows Server 2012 Standard Which is installed on a Virtual Machine that is created by Hyper-V?

Hi
I have recently bought a Virtual Machine from a data center and installed a Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition on it. As I tried to install the SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition, the data center administrator denied me to do this telling me it is not possible
to install any licensed Microsoft software on a Windows installed on virtual machine created by Hyper-V. It was really strange for me! I wanna know if this is true.
Thanks Everybody

Hi Farid,
For SQL server running on virtual server please refer to following article :
http://blogs.technet.com/b/peeyusht/archive/2010/03/19/sql-licensing-under-virtualization.aspx
In addition , for license issue we still recommend you to contact MS Activation Center:

MS SQL Server 2012 Developers Freeze At ODBC Setup

I am attempting to create an ODBC connection using my local computer's
Admin Tools-ODBC Connection interface.
I can select the MS SQL Server driver type, enter the odbc name I want to call the connection , then click browse so to look for sql databases in a local install of MS SQL Server 2012 Developers Edition
The odbc setup goes into a search mode that ran for over 4 hours and the process could not be terminated using Task Manager - End Task.
After rebooting, I tried the Options - Create New Connection using Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools interface and get the same result where I again have to reboot the computer to stop the setup.
Is this an expected result when setting up an odbc this way and/or is there another way odbcs are created so to connect to MS SQL Server 2012 databases?
I am a database

Hello,
I can't reproduce this issue on my test environment, and I'm sure what do you mean hang on search mode while create a SQL Server ODBC Data Source. Could you please share a screenshot about this issue?
I would suggest you take a look at the following articles about how to create a ODBC DSN to SQL Server 2012:
