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.

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.

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?

What is the password for backup files

Just updated my iPhone & lost my contacts & calendar. It is requesting my backup file password; I don't recall setting one. Please help! Is there a way to obtain this?

If you didn't set the password, and it isn't possible to' override or bypass it (there wouldn't be much use in having one if it could), then have you got an Exchange email account on the iPhone ? If so then it's possible that the account administrator has set the password for you (e.g. to protect potentially sensitive work content) - in which case you could try contacting them.

Forget the password for backup file

I just backup my file but i forget the password of my backup file
So anyone know how to fix these please tell me
thank you .

Script to export data frmo SQL Server 2014 to xls file

Hi All:
I want to export data form a table in SQl Server 2014 to an xls file.
Currently I have a working script for SQL Server 2005 in the below lines, but the same script doesnot work for SQL Server 2014.
set @outFileName='D:\Folder1\File1.xls'
SET @QueryString = 'INSERT INTO OPENROWSET( ''Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'', ' + @outFileName +
',''select * ' + 'from [Sheet1$A1:IV65000]'') select * from Table1 ' --order by CreatedDate'
EXEC ( @QueryString )                  .
I have checked on the web but didnot get a good answer. Please share with me if any one has a working script for SQL Server 2014.
Thanks... Happy Diwali.. :)

Ok, I have downloaded the exe from the above link.
As I have to install this on a production environment, I want to be sure of certain things ...
Say I have installed the Provider, what would be the syntax for exporting the data from sql server 2014 to xls.
It would certainly not be the same ... i feel.. please let me know.
Thanks
Yes
provider connection string would be different
like
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET("Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0", "Excel 12.0;Database=<full file name>.xlsx;HDR=YES", "SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]")
SELECT ..
FROM table

Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition

Hi All,
I tried to buy and download the Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition for studying purposes, but it turned out that this specialized edition is not available in my region - Middle East.
The Express edition is available free of charge for all regions, but it lacks the more advanced administration & BI features I am interested in, whereas the Evaluation edition is limited to 180-day.
Please, advise how I can purchase the Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition.
Thanks in advance,
Corina.

You can buy developer edition from below links
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/SQL-Server-2014-Developer-Edition/productID.298540400
and
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-SQL-Server-2014-Developer/dp/B00JKMY8KC
If anyhow there is delay in shipment you can go with SQL Server 2014 evaluation edition. It is same as Developer but can only be used for 180 days

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?

SQL Server 2014 Express extract file parameter?

I am working to bundle SQL Server 2014 Express with an application. I am using the following command line to install via an InstallShield prerequisite: /qs /INSTANCENAME=MYINSTANCE /ACTION="Install" /FEATURES=SQLEngine,Conn,SSMS
/SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD="Password" /TCPENABLED=1 /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
The installer I am using is SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe.
When the installer starts up their is a dialog named: Choose Directory for Extract Files. In earlier versions of SQL Server Express this dialog did not require the user to press Ok to continue. Since it takes several minutes to install
SQL Server Express I prefer to show the installation to the user, so they can see that something is taking place. The /q (Quiet) parameter will suppress this dialog, but nothing is seen for several minutes. Note: the Installer documentation
does state that: The /QS switch only shows progress, does not accept any input, and displays no error messages if encountered. The /QS parameter is only supported when /Action=install is specified. Consequently, I believe the /QS parameter
should not be requiring input.
All that for these questions:
1) Is there away to suppress this dialog while still using the /qs (Quiet Simple) parameter.
2) Is there a parameter to tell the installer to extract the files to a specified location?
Thanks,
Les

Hi,
After you download the installation package of SQL Server Express 2014, and extracts it to the specified location, the dialog of “Choose Directory for Extract Files” will appear when you install the SQL Server Express. Usually, we need to use the following
steps to extract the setup files to a temporary location.
1.In the Command Prompt window type %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\ SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe /x
2.When prompted to Choose Directory For Extracted Files type C:\SQLEXPR and click OK to extract the files.
Or suppress the dialog to extract the right location in SQL Server Express 2008 or other lower version. Such as
c:\temp>SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe /extract: "c:\temp".
However, in SQL Server Express 2014, I do a test, we could not suppress the dialog or use the parameters directly to extract in command line. For more information about
installing SQL Server 2014 from the Command Prompt, you can review the following article.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx
If necessary, personally, I recommend you can provide Microsoft a feature request at
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer so that we can try to modify and expand the product features based on your needs.

How to use open Row set in sql server 2014

Hello All,
How to open the row set using sql server 2014 using link server connection.

Hi denyy,
Are you referring to the OPENROWSET function in SQL Server 2014?
The OPENROWSET method is an alternative to accessing tables in a linked server and is a one-time, ad hoc method of connecting and accessing remote data by using OLE DB. The examples below demonstrate how to use the OPENROWSET function:
A. Using OPENROWSET with SELECT and the SQL Server Native Client OLE DB Provider
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=Seattle1;Trusted_Connection=yes;',
'SELECT GroupName, Name, DepartmentID
FROM AdventureWorks2012.HumanResources.Department
ORDER BY GroupName, Name') AS a;
B. Using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Jet
SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\SAMPLES\Northwind.mdb';
'admin';'',Customers);
GO
C. Using OPENROWSET to bulk insert file data into a varbinary(max) column
USE AdventureWorks2012;
GO
CREATE TABLE myTable(FileName nvarchar(60),
FileType nvarchar(60), Document varbinary(max));
GO
INSERT INTO myTable(FileName, FileType, Document)
SELECT 'Text1.txt' AS FileName,
'.txt' AS FileType,
* FROM OPENROWSET(BULK N'C:\Text1.txt', SINGLE_BLOB) AS Document;
GO
D. Using the OPENROWSET BULK provider with a format file to retrieve rows from a text file
SELECT a.* FROM OPENROWSET( BULK 'c:\test\values.txt',
FORMATFILE = 'c:\test\values.fmt') AS a;
Reference:
OPENROWSET (Transact-SQL)

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.

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.
