SQL Server 2012 restoring database from backup file

Hi All,
1. I was restoring the database from PROD box to DEV box with the deferent name.
For Ex: Both PROD and DEV boxes are having "A" database. Now I am refreshing database"A" from PROD bot to DEV box with name "B". Now while restoring in SQL server 2012 I used GUI and took database name as "A" by default.
by mistake I executed the request. before completing I notice that "A" database in DEV Box went to restoring mode.
Now, in middle I stopped the query but still I am seeing database "A" is in restoring state.
Please guide me is there any way to bring database online with current data?
2. Why sql server 2012 takes tail log backup of the existing database while restoring database with different name?

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 :)

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio:Importing XML file to new Table of new Database-XML parsing: unexpected end of input???

Hi all,
In the Notepad, I created an xml file (ZenQroducts.xml) :
<Qroducts>
<Qroduct>
<SKU>1</SKU>
<Desc>Book</Desc>
</Qroduct>
<Qroduct>
<SKU>2</SKU>
<Desc>DVD</Desc>
</Qroduct>
<Qroduct>
<SKU>3</SKU>
<Desc>Video</Desc>
</Qroduct>
In my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio, I executed the following code:
--to create a new object Qroducts in a new database OPENXMLtesting
CREATE DATABASE OPENXMLtesting
GO
CREATE TABLE Qroducts(
sku INT Primary KEY,
qroduct_desc VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO Qroducts (sku, qroduct_desc)
SELECT X.qroduct.query('SKU').value('.', 'INT'),
X.qroduct.query('Desc').value('.', 'VARCHAR(30)')
FROM (
SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'H:\ZenQroducts.xml',
SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
) AS T(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('Qroducts/Qroduct') AS X(qroduct);
SELECT sku, qroduct_desc
FROM Qroducts;
I got the following message:
Msg 9400, Level 16, State 1, Line 6
XML parsing: line 13, character 12, unexpected end of input
I have no ideas why I got this "XML parsing:line 13, character12, unexpected end of input" message. Please kindly help, advise me on where I made mistake and how I can resolve this problem, and respond in this Forum.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Manish, Thanks for your response.
Yes, it is a duplicate with Qroducts/Qroduct instead of Products/Product. I did it, because I don't know how to remove the existing "Products" database.
Again, I got the existing "Qroducts" database in this second trial!!?? I am comletely lost in doing "Importing XML file to SQL Table" now!! I think that I have not touched T-SQL and XML programming, since 2008. I
did not catch the new features of T-SQL 2008, XML, SQL/XML, XQuery, etc. for long time. Recently, I did not know what DECLARE, @x, SET,...were, and dived into the SQL/XML and XQuery programming. I knew the SQL Basics (SELECT, FROM, WHERE,..), creating
the names of databases and tables in SQL Server 2008/2012 Management Studio (Express) before. This morning, I found an old T-SQL 2008 Prgrammer's Guide that has the new features of SQL Server 2008 for T-SQL, XML, XQuery, etc. I just starting reading
it to know what DECLARE, @x, SET,... are. But, I still don't know where the existing databases "Products" and "Qroducts" (created by me) are - they are not in the Databases of SQL Server 2012 Management Studio I am using!!?? Could
you please kindly point out where the "Products" and "Qroducts" databases are?
Prashanth responded to my posted question too and he asked to to try his code: DECLARE @xml XML, SELECT @xml =' <Qroducts>.....SELECT product.value.....FROM @XML.nodes.....AS.... I just learned that his code is doing the thing we
want to do and print the results below the SQL Query. This is not what I need in doing my SQL/XML programming. I am reading/studying the new (2008) features of T-SQL, XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (Second Edition), and Microsoft XQuery Language Reference
(SQL Server 2012 Books Online) closely now. I hope that I can resume the T-SQL, XML Query, SQL/XML, XQuery in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio soon.
Please tell me where the existing databases "Products" and "Qroducts" I created in my previous trials in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio. This is what I need to know and to delete them, before I do this kind of "Importing
XML file to Table of SQL Server 2012 Management Studio" programming again.
Please kindly help, advise and respond again.
Many Thanks,

Sql server 2014 set password for backup file

We are using sql server 2014, all our databases will be automatically backed up as per schedule. Now need to protect our
backed up databases with password. We have tried below queries:
BACKUP DATABASE teknomectest TO DISK='C:\test.BAK' WITH MEDIAPASSWORD='sqlpas'
Executing it shows below error
One or more of the options (mediapassword) are not supported for this statement.
Analyzing which we came to know this feature is blocked in sql server 2012 itself. Is there any other way to protect bak file.
Bala
Bala

MayurPaghal, Bala said he is using SQL server 2014
Beginning with SQL Server 2012, the PASSWORD and MEDIAPASSWORD options
are discontinued for creating backups. It is still possible to restore backups created with passwords.

Best procedure to downgrade a SQL Server 2012 SP2 installation from Enterprise edition to Standard edition

Hi,
following a purpose change for a database server, I need to downgrade the SQL Server 2012 SP 2 installation from Enterprise to Standard edition.
Does it exist the best procedure to do it in a secure manner with a low impact?
Many thanks

Please note that while you are downgrading by uninstalling and reinstalling and then restoring backup taken from 2012 enterprise to standard , if backup contains data about used enterprise features you would not be able to restore the backup so BE
CAREFUL.
You should , if possible, get a new box install SQL Server standard and try restoring backup if it fails disable enterprise features and again take backup and then you would be able to restore.

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio: Import XML File to SQL Table - XML parsing: illegal qualified name character

Hi all,
In my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio, I executed the following code:
CREATE TABLE Products(
sku INT Primary KEY,
product_desc VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO Products (sku, product_desc)
SELECT X.product.query('SKU').value('.', 'INT'),
X.product.query('Desc').value('.', 'VARCHAR(30)')
FROM (
SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'H:\ZenProducts.xml',
SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
) AS T(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('Products/Product') AS X(product);
SELECT sku, product_desc
FROM Products;
I got the following message:
Msg 9455, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
XML parsing: line 3, character 12, illegal qualified name character
I have no ideas why the "product" in the statement "SELECT X.product.query('SKU').value('.','INT')" is not legal qualified name charcter!!!??? Please kindly help, advise and respond.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Manish, Thanks for your response.
Here is a copy of my ZenProducts.xml:
<Products>
<Product>
<SKU>1<</SKU>
<Desc>Book</Desc>
</Product>
<Product>
<SKU>2<</SKU>
<Desc>DVD</Desc>
</Product>
<Product>
<SKU>3<</SKU>
<Desc>Video</Desc>
</Product>
I found the wrong "<<" in my xml file and changed it to the right "<" for the statement<SKU>1</sku>. I executed the corrected code and I got the following new message:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 6, Line 1
There is already an object named 'Products' in the database.
I don't know how to remove the old, existing the 'Products' object in the database and execute the corrected code again. Please kindly help, advise and tell me how to resolve this new problem.
Many Thanks,
Scott Chang
P. S. I played with another project to get the 'Products' object in my database before. Frankly, I don't know where the old 'Products' object and the database are. Please enlighten me in resolving this matter more clearly.
You welcome Scott, As Olaf mentioned in this post, there was already a table exists , so need to drop your Products table.
Apart from this, I guess either you did not pasted the full XML file or what, I needed to have the ( </Products>)closing tag in your XML file as follows.
<Products>
<Product>
<SKU>1</SKU>
<Desc>Book</Desc>
</Product>
<Product>
<SKU>2</SKU>
<Desc>DVD</Desc>
</Product>
<Product>
<SKU>3</SKU>
<Desc>Video</Desc>
</Product>
</Products>
You can use following script to drop if your
Products table is already existing.
if exists(select 1 from sys.tables where name ='Products')
drop table Products
CREATE TABLE Products(
sku INT Primary KEY,
product_desc VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO Products (sku, product_desc)
SELECT X.product.query('SKU').value('.', 'INT'),
X.product.query('Desc').value('.', 'VARCHAR(30)')
FROM (
SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'H:\ZenProducts.xml',
SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
) AS T(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('Products/Product') AS X(product);
SELECT sku, product_desc
FROM Products;
Let us know if you face any other problem.

SQL Server 2012 Deploy Database to SQL Azure...

I have spent many days trying to copy a simple test database from my PC to SQL Azure but with little success. Then I installed SQL Server 2012 and see a new task:
Deploy Database to SQL Azure... It looks like an automated extraction to DAC and then creating the Azure database all in one step.
I was elated, but got hit with the following three types of errors.
One or more unsupported elements were found in the schema used as part of a data package.
Error SQL71564: The element Extended Property: [dbo].[Accounts].[Address].[MS_Description] is not supported when used as part of a data package (bacpac).
Error SQL71564: Table Table: [dbo].[Activities] does not have a clustered index. Clustered indexes are required for inserting data in this version of SQL Server.
Error SQL71564: Element User: [NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE] has an unsupported property AuthenticationType set and is not supported when used as part of a data package.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac)
May I know what I can do on the on-premise database to rid of the first and third error?
Thanks.

Hello,
1) Remove the Extended Property from the (?) column Address in table Accounts.
BTW, for small databases it's sometimes easiere to generate a script for the database (and modify it slightly) instead of using the Wizard

What is Extended Property? What is this .MS_Description? I can't see it in the table designer or the Column Properties. (I don't know whether this was corruption caused by Data Sync I used earlier.) How do I remove it.
Of all the methods of copying SQL Server to Azure SQL, this one gives the least mistakes. If I can solve this Extended Properties thing hopefully I can migrate the database over.

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:

SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 Configuration file path: is empty

I have begun installing SQL 2012 Service Pack 2 on a test system and I go to the page where it is Ready to update. The configuration file path: at the bottom of the screen was empty. Is this normal or will I need to go to the default locations
of Bootstrap to find the configuration file this upgrade is going to use? This is something that is odd as a majority of our current installations is automated using a configuration file and a path for the Upgrade files.
Rick

Hi Rick,
Based on your description, I make a test on my computer. When I go to the ‘Ready to update’ page, I also find that the ‘configuration file path’ box is empty, below is my screenshot. This is a normal phenomenon during the installation of SQL Server Service
Pack.
We don’t need to find the configuration file from SQL Server setup location, just click the Update button to perform the Service Pack installation. After the update process, I install SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 successfully.
Besides, there is also a similar article about installing SQL Server Service Pack for your reference.

Is something wrong? After crosscheck backup set with system datafile is AVAILABLE.
If i tried to test existence of backup pieces on disk and permissisons - everything is OK too:

Master Data Services not available under shared feature while installing SQL server 2012

Hi,
I am trying to install Master Data Services but do not see the option to select MDS under the shared features when going through the SQL server 2012 installation. I have the SQL server 2012 SP1 (64 bit) install files. I have also installed SP2. I havent
found anything online about the issue.
Can someone please advise?
I have a screenshot of the installation screen which I will attach as soon as I am able to get my account verified. Thanks!

Hi Revees,
This might be a very naïve and also out of the original scope of the thread question.
We are thinking of going with the developer edition. We have 2/3 developers and some other testers and business users.
1) I understand that we need a developer license for each developer. But would we need a license for the business user. Can they have a sort of read access to the dbs?
2) If a developer has MSDN subscription, Would they need to purchase the license too assuming we purchase the developer edition of the software (and not download it using the MSDN subscription)?
Thanks for your assistance!

Finalizing SQL Server 2012 SP2 update

Hi,
   I just successfully upgraded SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition from SP1 CU8 to SP2.
   Here is the actual portrait I have in my control panel (Installed programs + version):
       Version changed after SP2 update (through Windows Update):
         Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB                          11.2.5058.0
        Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Transact-SQL ScriptDom              11.2.5058.0
        Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Transact-SQL Compiler Service    11.2.5058.0
        Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client                                11.2.5058.0
        Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Policies
11.2.5058.0
        Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Setup (English)                            11.2.5058.0
        Microsoft VSS Writer for SQL Server 2012                              11.2.5058.0
        Microsoft System CLR Types for SQL Server 2012                  11.2.5058.0
        SQL Server Browser for SQL Server 2012                               11.2.5058.0
      Version changed only after installing corresponding Features Pack component:
     Microsoft SQL Server 2012 T-SQL Language Service              11.2.5058.0
     SQL Server Report Builder 3 for SQL Server 2012                11.2.5058.0
     Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Objects                   11.2.5058.0
      Version did not change:
     Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types                                10.51.2500.0
     Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Data-Tier App Framework            11.1.2902.0
My questions:
1. Am I missing any components update or is my actual SP2 setup OK?
2. Even if I tried to install DACFramework SP2 Feature pack by running corresponding installer, it told me that I had an higher version... Does any of you have a different version number for this component?
3. I actually have SSDT for VS2010 installed. The corresponding versions I actually have are the following:
           Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools 2010
10.3.31009.2
           Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - enu
10.3.31009.2
           Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Build Utilities - enu             10.3.31009.2
    Should I consider upgrading any component so they work with SQL 2012 SP2 properly? If so, could someone provide me the corresponding download/webpage links?
4. Finally, should I upgrade to CU2 which is actually available. Among other problems, I notice that it should fix an index rebuild problem. Any other major issues it targets? Is there any easy way I can test if I should install this update or
not?
Thanks for helping.

Hi again,
I knew I was at SP2 level now. My request is more about the Features Pack components as well as the CU2 which is actually out:
1- Features Pack components that I couldn't update:
     Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types                                10.51.2500.0
--> presume was for VS2008
     Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Data-Tier App Framework            11.1.2902.0       --> is this the real last version?
2- SQL Server Data Tools vs Visual Studio 2010 SP1 + SQL Server 2012 SP2
           Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools 2010
10.3.31009.2
           Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - enu
10.3.31009.2
           Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Build Utilities - enu             10.3.31009.2
    Do I have the last versions possible (VS2010) or should I update something?
3- SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU2
    What simple test can I do in order to verify if I really need to install this patch or not?
Thanks for helping!
