SQL Server 2014 Standard, but only 2 GB RAM used

Hello,
I just installed MS SQL Server 2014 Standard Single x64 on a Windows 8 PC. It was bought to replace the Server Express because the RAM limitation of Express.
I set min server memory to 500 MB and max server memory to 28672 MB. PC has 32 GB Ram.
Now I start a very crazy procedure/query that is running for hours.
The problem is now that task manager shows:
- SQL Server Management Studio (32 Bit): 0% CPU and 135,4 MB RAM
- SQL Server Windows NT - 64 Bit: 60% CPU and 2.032,6 MB RAM
If I use: SELECT * FROM sys.dm_os_process_memory I get:
physical_memory_in_use_kb : 2124632
memory_utilization_percentage : 100
So why is there Management Studio 32 Bit if I installed it through MS SQL Server 2014 Standard Single x64 installation?
And much more important: Why is only 2 GB RAM used if 32 GB are there and 28 GB should be used?
kind regards
Peter

Hello,
Could you try to enable Lock Pages in Memory option for the SQL Server service account?

Upgrating SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 to SQL Server 2014 Standard "UpgradeFeatureSpecificRules: KJRTMUpgradeBlockRule"

I've been searching for HOURS how to resolve this issue:
I am trying to upgrade SQL Server 2008 R2 (Express Edition with advanced services) to SQL SERVER 2014 Standard edition, my first issue was to update the 2008 R2 to Service pack 2 on the first FEATURE RULE TEST, at this time on it's keep saying this:
======================================================================================
Rule Check Result
Rule "SQL Server 2008 R2 Service pack 2 or later is requered for upgrade.: failed.
This SQL Server 2008 R2 features that have been selected to be upgraded to SQL Server 2014 are not at the require service pack. To continue with this upgrade, install SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2 or lager to the selected instance and the shared features.

This is the Configuration Report issue:

====================================================================================
I try after hours and finally did install the Upgrade Advisor and got not issues, the last choice I was to uninstall the Management Studio because in other upgrade express versions got blocked, but in this new version of SQL Server 2014 I don't see any way
out!!!
Thanks.

Hi again
This is the scenario:
-I have installed the SQL SERVER 2008 R2 With Advanced services (version 10.50.1600.1), and now my guest decide to upgrade to an STARNDARD version which nowadays Microsoft is offering the 2014 version.
-As all IT Support and DBA I try to upgrade to SQL 2014 to check and see with requirements were missing or updates. The first check report only ask to upgrade to SQL SERVER 2008 R2 SP2 (version 10.51.2500.0) which I found in the optional update list and
resolved immediately with the Windows Update service.
-Finally, I realise doing the discovery report (suggested in the last post) is that Windows update only download the service pack 2 for SQL Server 2008 instead of the 2008 R2 (I downloaded manually) then the version was upgrade to 10.52.4000.0
Next time I might download the updates manually and not loosing a lot hours with Windows Update, another point very important is that when SQL Server 2008 R2 is installed, create the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 folder at all programas in the Startup menu:
with the SQL Server Installation Center, but there is not one R2, when you execute this one just show the 2008 installed features.
Now we are on 12.0.2000.8
Thanks anyway and all of you for your interest!!!

Issue of Text Qualiffier after upgrading to SQL Server 2014 Standard

Hi,
I'm facing an issue of Text Qualifier after I upgrading my system to SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition (Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - 12.0.2000.8 (X64)
   Feb 20 2014 20:04:26
   Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation
   Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.3 <X64> (Build 9600: ) (Hypervisor)
I have a csv file with format: Text Qualifier is double pipes ||, Vertical Bar (|) as Column Delimiter and Row Delimiter is CRLF.
For example file:
||Col1|||||Col2||
||ABC|||||XYZ||
This file is working OK in SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) but it does not work in SQL Server 2014. It raised error message while running.
Error: An error occurred while skipping data rows.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED. The PrimeOutput method on MediaAgencyGroup returned error code 0xC0202091. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure
code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
Any suggestion here?

There's a difference in the way text qualifiers are parsed from 2012 onwards

Can you replicate databases from SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition to SQL Server 2014 Standard edition?

Hello,
Can you replicate databases from SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition to SQL Server 2014 Standard edition?
Thanks.

Yes, you can replicate from Enterprise edition to Standard edition. The only caveat is Peer-to-Peer Replication requires all nodes to be Enterprise Edition.

Issues enabling AlwaysON in SQL Server 2014 Standard

Hi
I am trying to configure AlwaysOn and having issues enabling in SQL Server configuration manager
OS : Windows Server 2012 R2
SQL : SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition
Here is what i see in config manager :
The AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature requires the x86(non-Wow) or x64 Enterprise Edition of SQL Server 2012 (or later version) running on Windows Server 2008 (or later version) with WSFC hotfix KB 2494036 installed. This SQL Server edition and/or Windows
Server system do not meet one or more of these requirements.
I patched both the nodes and ran the cluster validation as well which didn't report any missing patches. Couldn't find any documentation/solution for this.
Can someone please help me with this ???

Thanks.
Is the configuration of Always on FCI is same as Traditional WSFC ?
Yes just think of it as a regular clustered sql instance
An FCI is a single instance of SQL Server that is installed across Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) nodes
and, possibly, across multiple subnets.

Can't connect to remote SQL Server 2014 Standard with VS 2012

Hi all,
I am trying to create a development environment using SQL Server 2014 (not Express). The SQL server instance is on a Windows 8.1 Pro machine in a non-domain environment. I have Visual Studio 2012 installed on the same machine which can connect
to the SQL server instance without problems. I have another machine with VS 2012 that cannot connect. SQL server is configured for mixed authentication. The SSDT on the remote machine can see the SQL server networked instance, but will not
connect with SQL authentication.
I have rounded up all the usual suspects;
- The SQL server service is running
- Remote connections are enabled on SQL server and the relevant firewall ports are open.
- TCP/IP and named pipes are enabled
- Remote connections are enabled in Management Studio
- SQL Server Browser service in enabled and running
What am I missing? I have been out of developer mode for a few years and all of the tools have changed, but I seem to be missing something obvious.
Many thanks in advance,
Tim
Tim in Dublin

Hello,
Have you configured the Windows Firewall on the Visual Studio computer too? Is there any other security software on those
2 computers?
Can you ping between both computers by computer name? If not, try connecting using the IP address. For example:
10.0.0.10,1433
1433 is the default SQL Server port number.
Hope this helps.

Upgrading from SQL Server 2012 Standard to SQL Server 2014 Standard Failover Cluster

Goal: To upgrade my default instance from SQL Server 2012 to SQL Server 2014 in a failover cluster.
Given:
1) Operating System Windows 2012 R2
2) 2 Virtual Machines in a cluster with SQL Server as a Guest Cluster resource. The two VMS are called APPS08 and APPS09. They are our development environment that is setup similar to our production environment.
Problem: When running the SQL Server 2014 upgrade, I started on the VM that was not running the instance. I then moved onto upgrading on the node that was running the instance. As soon as the install attempt to failover the running instance
an install error occurred that it could not failover. After many install attempts I consistently received the error
The SQL Server Failover cluster instance name 'Dev01'
already exists as a cluster resource. Opening Failover cluster manager there is no record of a DEV01.
New Strategy: Create a SQLCluster called DEV07. At the end of the Install I get 'Resource for instance 'MSSQLSERVER' should not exists. Neither I nor my Windows 2012 guy understand what Resource the install may be referring to.
We do not see anything out of the ordinary.
Any suggestions as to what Resource may be seeing the default instance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi PSCSQLDBA,
As your description, you want to upgrade the default instance in SQL Server cluster.
>> 'SQL Server failover cluster instance name 'Dev01' already exists as cluster resource'
This error could occur when there is a previously used instance name which may not be removed completely.
To work around the issue, please use one of the ways below.
1. At command prompt, type Cluster res. This command will list you all the resources including orphan resources. To delete the orphan resource, type Cluster res <resource name>/delete.
For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://gemanjyothisqlserver.blogspot.in/2012/12/sql-2008r22012-cluster-installation.html
2. Delete DNS entries, and force a replication of DNS to the other DNS servers.
For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://jon.netdork.net/2011/06/07/failed-cluster-install-and-name-already-exists/#solution
>> 'Resource for instance 'MSSQLSERVER' should not exist'
This error could occur when you already have MSSQLSERVER as a resource in the cluster, which may not be removed completely. To work around the issue, you could rebuild the SQL Server cluster node.

Michelle Li

IS SQL SERVER 2014 EXPRESS STILL LEGAL IF I USE IT IF I'M EMPLOYED AS A PROGRAMMER IN A COMPANY

Hi,
I've read resources about SQL Server Express versions being free for commercial use but I have a question if I and the company can still use SQL SERVER 2014 EXPRESS if I'm an employee of the company that is going to use the application that I will build.
Would that still be legal or do the company need to purchase a paid version for them to use the desktop application that needs sql server to run and be develop in VB?
Thanks.

You can use SQL Server express database engine feature for free for developement or hosting a small website, what ever you want. This is AFAIK

Is there a way to trick MS Service Manager 2012 to use SQL Server 2014 when installing it?

I recently set up a virtual Lab on my laptop. I dont have much resources on my laptop and can only have around 5 servers. the problem is that i already set up SQL Server 2014 standalone and configured all of my services to use that server which works
fine. however when i try to install MS Service Manager 2012 it throws "SQL has to be either 2012 or 2008" error ..
is there a way for me to trick the Registry so Service Manager will install?
Thank you

I don't know a trick to install SCSM 2012 on a SQL Server 2014. But maybe you can use a SQL Server 2012 for installation temporary and move the db after installation is done to your SQL Server 2014?
Moving the Service Manager and DW Databases
Might be worth a try. But it's definitely not recommended for a productive environment!

SQL Server 2014 Expired-Not allow the licensed Standard Edition SSMS

Hi
I have installed SQL server 2014 Enterprise edition Trial version, It is expired, So i install the SQL server 2014 standard edition , now if i type ssms in my server,It show , Evaluation period has expired, guide me how to change the ssms instance
to my sql server standard edition
Thanks & Regards Manoj

Manoj - For upgrading the evaluation edition , the only upgrade option will be to upgrade it to Enterprise Edition. There is no downgrade path for it.
Having said this, you can either upgrade to ENT edition or follow these steps:
Take backup of User Databases
Un-install/Remove the existing instance
Install SQL Server 2014 Standard edition and restore your databases over it
Few important considerations:
You can restore user databases to standard edition provided you are not using any enterprise class features such
       Database Partitioning
       Data Compression
       Change Data Capture
       Transparent Data Encryption
To know whether any of the above are enabled use this query:
SELECT * FROM sys.dm_db_persisted_sku_features

SQL Server 2014 - Columnstore Incorrect Results

Hello,
we are running into a problem with SQL Server 2014 and the columnstore index. We have a partitioned table with about 300 Million records in it. With SQL Server 2012 this has been in use without problems.
Since we upgraded to SQL Server 2014, the exact same queries on exactly the same data return incorrect results. We can only bypass the problem by either dropping the CS Index or adding a maxdop = 1 query hint.
I thought this was an old bug in SQL Server 2012? We have not installed the CU Pack 4 for SQL Server 2014, yet but will it solve the problem (assuming others have faced the same problem)
We are running: Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition - 12.0.2000.8 (X64) on a 2x6Core Machine
Thanks in advance!

SQL Server 2012 only featured non-clustered columnstore indexes which were separate structures. Have you changed to a clustered columnstore (cs) index in SQL Server 2014? (ie dropped your non-clustered cs, created a cs)
There are a number of fixes that reference columnstore indexes in the current CUs (
CU1,
CU2, CU3,
CU4 ), but none which sound exactly like your problem.
This sounds similar and is fixed in CU1. You should review the CU documents yourself to see if any of them mention a similar problem and then consider applying the CU. You might also try applying them to a test environment, or a temporary Azure
VM for example to see if one of them solves your problem.
If you can create a reliable "repro" of the problem, consider raising a
connect item which is a Microsoft bug report.

SQL Server 2014 CAL

Hi Guys,
I'm planning to setup RDS and SQL server(2014 standard)
our application will runs on RDS box and database's will be on SQL box
As users will access the application on RDS remotely hence we are planning to apply RDS and windows CALS on RDS server
For SQL box we are planning SQL server license + cals
As sql functionality will only be accessed by RDS box through application hence i'm thinking that single device CAL for sql box will be sufficient
Could you please confirm if i'm correct or i'll needs to purchase any other license
Many Thanks,
Sandeep

>Only RDS machine will be accessing SQL box so wouldn't single device CAL will be sufficient ?
No.
Licensing SQL Server in a Multiplexed Application Environment
"Multiplexing” refers to the use of hardware or software to pool connections, reroute information, or reduce the number of devices or users that directly access or use SQL Server. Multiplexing can also include reducing the number of devices or users
SQL Server directly manages.
When licensing SQL Server software under the Server+CAL licensing model, users and devices that indirectly access SQL Server data through another application or hardware device still require SQL Server CALs. 
Multiplexing does not reduce the number of Microsoft licenses required. Users are required to have the appropriate licenses, regardless of their direct or indirect connection to SQL Server.
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Licensing Guide
You need one CAL per end user or end-user device connecting to the RDS server. Whether the users run the client on their desktop on an RDS server does not affect the number of CALs required. Similarly whether you deploy a client/server application,
an N-Tier application or a Web Application does not affect the number of CALs required.

SQL Server 2014 reseting isolation level

Hi,
Working with C# application accessing SQL Server 2012 and 2014 using ADO.NET.
There seem to be a change regarding isolation level reset when returning connection to pool.
Previous versions of SQL Server does not reset the isolation level on the connection (unfortunately) as claimed here (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=972915).
However it seems this has changed with SQL Server 2014.
If running the attached code it shows that the isolation level in fact is reset when running against a SQL Server 2014 instance but not 2012.
Can anyone on the SQL Server team confirm that this is an intended change that is here to stay? I have not seen any documentation on this so far in the behavior changes documented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143359.aspx
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
TestIsolationLevelReset();
Console.ReadLine();
public static void TestIsolationLevelReset()
var connectionString = @"Data Source=(local); Integrated Security=true; Initial Catalog=master;";
var commandText = @"select cast (transaction_isolation_level as nvarchar) + ' - ' + CAST(@@spid as nvarchar) from sys.dm_exec_sessions where (session_id = @@SPID)";
using (var conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
conn.Open();
var cmd = new SqlCommand(commandText, conn);
Console.WriteLine(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
using (var tran = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required, new TransactionOptions() { IsolationLevel = IsolationLevel.Serializable }))
using (var conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
conn.Open();
var cmd = new SqlCommand(commandText, conn);
Console.WriteLine(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
tran.Complete();
using (var conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
conn.Open();
var cmd = new SqlCommand(commandText, conn);
Console.WriteLine(cmd.ExecuteScalar());

Is that possible to know, or must I always ask SQL Server what has been negotiated?
The negotiated version is the highest version supported by both client and server. According to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd304523.aspx, the Server versions are:
SQL Server 7.0 7.0
SQL Server 2000 7.1
SQL Server 2000 SP1 7.1 Revision 1
SQL Server 2005 7.2
SQL Server 2008 7.3.A
SQL Server 2008 R2 7.3.B
SQL Server 2012 7.4
SQL Server 2014 7.4
I can't speak to the exact TDS versions supported by SqlClient. On my PC, .NET 4.0 and above against a SQL 2014 box used TDS 7.4 where as 3.5 and earlier used TDS 7.3.
Based on this, I wouldn't expect the isolation level behavior change if SQL Server 2012 and 2014 is the only difference. What version of .NET are you using?
