SQL Server 2014 New Database Design Features

SQL Server 2014 has three major database design related features:
1. In-memory OLTP tables (Hekaton)
2. Inline INDEX declaration in CREATE TABLE
3. Updateable clustered columnstore index
Any other new feature? Thanks.

SQL Server 2014 New T-SQL Features

I have seen the following new T-SQL features:
1. In-memory OLTP tables.
2. Inline specification of CLUSTERED and NONCLUSTERED indexes is now allowed for disk-based tables.
3. The SELECT … INTO statement is improved and can now operate in parallel.
Any others? Thanks.

SQL Server 2005 replaced with SQL Server 2014 trying to connect front end Access as guest (read only ODBC)

We have replaced a SQL Server 2005 with a SQL Server 2014 (new physical server.) Have the new server set up to use SQL Server login OR Windows user login. Had old server connecting (for a particular DB) to front end Access (2010 or 2013) as guest for
anyone logged into the Windows NT Network with a read only ODBC connection. Have the DB in the new server set to include guest as db_datareader (with only SELECT permission for the securables of each table and view being linked) but when any Windows user not
specifically listed as a SQL DB user tries to use the front end they get an error of:
Microsoft SQL Server Login
Connection failed:
SQL State: '28000'
SQL Server Error: 18456
[Microsoft][OCBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Login failed for user {domain\user}.
After closing that pop-up window a server login window appears. Of course, since the guest user is not specifically listed as a user in the DB that fails also. It seems like there should be a very simple solution to this, but I can't seem to find it. I want
to allow anyone logged in on the Windows system (locally) to be able to open the MS Access file (on their work station machine) and run their own (read only; select) queries on the SQL Server database. Any suggestions?
Thanks a billion in advance ----

Thanks for the response Olaf. I have now spent weeks researching this. I realize that using the guest account in most situations is not advised. As mentioned, I have restricted the guest account to allow the db_datareader role only, and have explicitly denied
all other roles, as well as allowing select only, and still have no access for the guest account.
The suggested fix in the second link you provided, of using Windows groups is not plausible for my situation either. We are a scientific field research institution, with a few long term users and lots of users that may have Windows accounts for a few months,
and then they are gone. It would be a nightmare for the network tech to try to keep a group account up to date, and we need to give access (read only, of course) to anyone logged into the system. Realize that the ONLY access of any kind to this database is
thru MS Access ACCDB, using a (by default) read only OCDB connection.
This type of access is used particularly because researchers need to be able to set up their own queries, and the MS Access query interface is particularly convenient for people who are not themselves SQL experts, yet are trying to get some very advanced
levels of output. Putting the database online is not practical because then we are back to the need for a comprehensive query interface, and just picking up general subsets of the data online (from a basic web page search feature) would be out of the question,
since the result set would involve hundreds of thousands if not millions of records.
So - that said - what exactly would you suggest, assuming we don't have the funds to buy a whole new system, and have spent plenty of money with Microsoft's Enterprise level MS Office so that all work stations have MS Access, and Microsoft's SQL Server,
as well as running our network on Microsoft's network software.

Why is the PWDCOMPARE function not supported on an Azure SQL Server 2014 database

I have tried to publish a database from our local SQL Server to Azure but receive an error saying PWDCOMPARE is not supported with no link to a reason why.
We are using HASHBYTES function to encrypt passwords in our database and
PWDCOMPARE to validate them and we currently don't have an alternative (see article: http://sqlity.net/en/2460/sql-password-hash/). The PWDCOMPARE function is referenced by a stored procedure,
which is what won't publish to Azure.
It would be useful to know if it will be supported or if we should create a VM instead.
EDIT: Further Clarified question above, but basically the functions listed are documented in MSDN and there is no mention of them being undocumented unsupported features.
The error occurs when trying to publish a database to Azure from SQL Server 2014 Management Studio

Hi,
I am not an expert to answer this but am trying my best to answer this query.
Hashes a password and compares the hash to the hash of an existing password. PWDCOMPARE can be used to search for blank SQL Server login passwords or common weak passwords.
Syntax
PWDCOMPARE ( 'clear_text_password'
, password_hash
[ , version ] )
Note: This feature will be removed in the next version of Microsoft SQL Server. Do not use this feature in new development work, and modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible.
I am not sure whether this feature is not available on SQL 2014.
I think you can solve this issue by using the EXECUTE AS. Add this query into a procedure with EXECUTE AS with the user/login with sufficient permissions on the server.
Refer to belw link for more details on EXECUTE AS
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188354.aspx
create
procedure checkpassword
@UserName
SYSNAME
,@Password
VARCHAR(1000)
WITH
EXECUTE AS

select
pwdcompare(@Password,convert(nvarchar(128),password))
from master.dbo.syslogins

where name=@UserName

How to restore a database backup taken from a SQL Server 2012 instance to SQL Server 2014

I am trying to restore a database backup taken from a SQL Server 2012 instance to my new SQL Server 2014 instance. When I add the .bak through the Mgmt studio UI, it does not seem to find a backup set in the file so I cannot proceed (does not give
me any errors though either. I tried restoring through TSQL command but only got a database restore terminating abnormally error with no other details. How can I restore this database to SQL 2014?

Hello,

Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Setup error: Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed

Hi,
Having this annoying error trying to install SQL Server 2014 (RTM). I saw it's been asked several times... But each post seems a different cause and no definitive answer...
I'm not doing an upgrade, so no "sa account" issue.
Tried different media. Even three different distributions: trial, Standard and Enterprise.
Tried disabling Microsoft antivirus/firewall.
Of course tried restarting, updating, installing, uninstalling, repairing, etc., etc.
I noticed the users folders under C:\Users weren't created. (Maybe something related to permissions?) After playing around, I managed for the users to be created and the service started. Though I couldn't log in.

Moving databases from SQL Server 2012 to SQL Server 2014

Hi
I need to move all my SP 2013 databases from a SQL Server 2012 to a SQL Server 2014. I have read these articles:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512725(v=office.15).aspx
http://sharepointpromag.com/sharepoint-administration/simple-guide-moving-sharepoint-content-databases-new-server
The TechNet article says:
The new database server must run either the same version of Windows Server and SQL Server as the existing database server or one of the following versions:
SQL Server 2008
SQL Server 2012
SQL Server 2014
And the article in SharePoint Pro Magazine says:
Obviously you’ll need your target SQL server (or instance) installed and configured. It should use the same version and patch level of SQL Server as the source SQL server
So I'm a bit confused. Which article is right?
Thanks
Jakob

it is fully supported and a simple process to move to a new sql server (anything 2008+ works). just don't go back in versions. you can go 2008-2012, 2008-2014, 20120-2014, just not 2012-2008, etc.
just be sure not to detach/attach the databases in sql, do a sql database backup, then a sql database restore on the new server and point sharepoint (hopefully using aliases, as it makes this all much smoother) to point to the new server.
Also, be sure to put SP1 and the April 2014 CU or newer on the farm BEFORE moving the databases. 2014 is "supported before the April CU, but there are several compatibility issues prior to april CU. one example is that user profile sync doesn't
work properly with sql 2014 if sharepoint is not at least april 2014 CU.
hope that all is clear and helps you out, let me know if there are more questions.

Backup Database From SQL Server 2014 with expired trial period.

Hi,
Looking for some advice. I created a database on a SQL Server 2014 Trial Version i downloaded from the Microsoft website. Our company bought a license for SQL Server 2012 instead of 2014, how can i migrate my database to 2012 without the ability to connect
to my 2014 Server or Management studio (Because the trial period has expired)?
Thank You.

Hi,
Alternatively, you can stop SQL Services and then locate the mdf & ldf file copy these files to new location.
Now you try to attach above files in new server.
Sorry little correction
I dint pay attention to 2014 to 2012, in this case you need to attach these files on SQL Server 2014 then generate script and execute these script on 2012.
Please refer following article on how to attach database.

How to install a Business Contact Manager 2013 database on SQL Server 2014

When I use the BCM Database Tool 2013 to create a database on a server, it doesn't pick up on any of my SQL Server 2014 instances. So far I can only get it to pick up SQL Server 2008 R2 instances in order to install the BCM database.
Someone mentioned that it works with SQL Server 2012, so is there any way to get it work on the 2014 version? I don't want to have to install 2008 or 2012 just for the sake of BCM.

event if 3355 means 3 things:
The SQL Server might be offline.
The SharePoint Foundation database access account might not have the necessary permissions to communicate with the SQL Server.
A firewall that runs on either the local server or on SQL Server might be blocking network communications.
Big question, how you trying to connect SQL windows or sql authentication? is it throwing error on Config wizard or somewhere else?
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

Trouble Turneing on FileStream/Ad Hoc Query with new SQL Server 2014 64-BIt Version

SQL Server Help,
I have recently installed SQL SERVER 2014 on my Window 7 SP1 Acer laptop.
I am trying to do a simple upload of an Excel file into SQL Server using the OPENROWSET command:
Which I found requires some configuration change I attempted below.
When I execute this:
execute sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
execute sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
GO
I get this message
Configuration option 'show advanced options' changed from 1 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.
Msg 5593, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
FILESTREAM feature is not supported on WoW64. The feature is disabled.
Msg 15123, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_configure, Line 62
The configuration option 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' does not exist, or it may be an advanced option.
Msg 5593, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
FILESTREAM feature is not supported on WoW64. The feature is disabled.
When I go to the SQL Server Services and Properties on the Server and try to change the FileStream options to be on..I get the error:
"There was an unknown error applying the FILESTREAM settings. Check the parameters are valid (0x80070002)."
Perhaps my issue is with the Windows Share Name: . I have put in a local driver C:\A_Excel....also the computer name, my user ID. Is there a special format or way to define a Share Name that I am unaware of?
Is there a way to fix this? Can I not load Excel files with a 64-Bit system? Or what is the easiest way that I can do this with my configuration?
Thanks for any help.

FILESTREAM feature is not supported on WoW64. The feature is disabled.
By the error message it seems you have a 64 bit OS, but have installed a 32 bit SQL Server and here in WoW64 mode filestream seems to be not supported. Install a 64 bit SQL Server instead.

Create MS SQL Server 2014 instance for TSQL2012 sample database Training kit (70-461)

Hi,
I just bought the Training kit (70-461) Querying Microsoft SQL server 2012. I downloaded Microsoft SQL Server 2014. I have also downloaded the script for the sample database -
TSQL2012.sql.
Basically I want to set up the sample database and practice my SQL queries. How do I log into
Microsoft SQL Server 2014? Basically I am doing this on my home computer. It is asking me for Server type, Server name, and Authentication. Do I have to set up a server instance to run and create the sample database? How?
Thanks.
Peter

Do you see anything in the Server Name at all?
So, in the first drop down you need to select Database Engine.
In the second (for Server Name) if you see anything, then try selecting it.
If there is nothing, try methods described in this article
http://sqlserver-help.com/2011/06/19/help-whats-my-sql-server-name/
to find the actual name.
Then, try choosing Windows Authentication and try connecting. If this would not work, then you do need to try using sa and sa's password. If there is no way to find that sa password, then perhaps it's better to clearly uninstall and re-install. If you want,
I'll move your thread into either 'Getting Started' or Data Access forum as it doesn't seem to be related with Transact SQL.
