SQL Server Express - Hardware (cores) limitations ?

You find a lot of information about the physical  limitations of SQL Server Express engine, but we have a question regarding the "licensing" (even when its for free ;o)))
Is it allowed to install a SQL Server Express on a physical machine with 8 cores ?
And if it's allowed, is it allowed for SQL Server 2008, 2008 R2 and 2012 version ? Or are there differences because of the rather big changes in licensing model in SQL server 2012 ?

Hi,
The Express edition is free and does not require license. However, it doesn't have all of the features of Standard. There are some limitations such as database size (10GB) and CPUs (1 socket or 4 cores) and SQL Memory (1GB).
You can refer to the following web page for more information:

  • SQL Server Express Performance Limitations With OGC Methods on Geometry Instances

    I will front load my question.  Specifically, I am wondering if any of the feature restrictions with SQL Server Express cause performance limitations/reductions with OGC methods on geometry instances, e.g., STIntersects?  I have spent time reading
    various documents about the different editions of SQL Server, including the Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2014, but nothing is jumping out at me.  The
    limited information on spatial features in the aforementioned document implies spatial is the same across all editions.  I am hoping this is wrong.
    The situation....  I have roughly 200,000 tax parcels within 175 taxing districts.  As part of a consistency check between what is stored in tax records for taxing district and what is identified spatially, I set up a basic point-in-polygon query
    to identify the taxing district spatially and then count the number of parcels within in taxing district.  Surprisingly, the query took 66 minutes to run.  As I pointed out, this is being run on a test machine with SQL Server Express.
    Some specifics....  I wrote the query a few different ways and compared the execution plans, and the optimizer always choose the same plan, which is good I guess since it means it is doing its job.  The execution plans show a 'Clustered Index Seek
    (Spatial)' being used and only costing 1%.  Coming in at 75% cost is a Filter, which appears to be connected to the STIntersects predicate.  I brute forced alternate execution plans using HINTS, but they only turned out worse, which I guess is also
    good since it means the optimizer did choose a good plan.  I experimented some with changing the spatial index parameters, but the impact of the options I tried was never that much.  I ended up going with "Geometry Auto Grid" with 16 cells
    per object.
    So, why do I think 66 minutes is excessive?  The reason is that I loaded the same data sets into PostgreSQL/PostGIS, used a default spatial index, and the same query ran in 5 minutes.  Same machine, same data, SQL Server Express is 13x slower than
    PostgreSQL.  That is why I think 66 minutes is excessive.
    Our organization is mostly an Oracle and SQL Server shop.  Since more of my background and experience are with MS databases, I prefer to work with SQL Server.  I really do want to understand what is happening here.  Is there something I can
    do different to get more performance out of SQL Server?  Does spatial run slower on Express versus Standard or Enterprise?  Given I did so little tuning in PostgreSQL, I still can't understand the results I am seeing.
    I may or may not be able to strip the data down enough to be able to send it to someone.

    Tessalating the polygons (tax districts) is the answer!
    Since my use of SQL Server Express was brought up as possibly contributing to the slow runtime, the first thing I did was download an evaluation version of Enterprise Edition.  The runtime on Enterprise Edition dropped from 66 minutes to 57.5 minutes.
     A reduction of 13% isn't anything to scoff at, but total runtime was still 11x longer than in PostgreSQL.  Although Enterprise Edition had 4 cores available to it, it never really spun up more than 1 when executing the query, so it doesn't seem
    to have been parallelizing the query much, if at all.
    You asked about polygon complexity.  Overall, a majority are fairly simple but there are some complex ones with one really complex polygon.  Using the complexity index discussed in the reference thread, the tax districts had an average complexity
    of 4.6 and a median of 2.7.  One polygon had a complexity index of 120, which was skewing the average, as well as increasing the runtime I suspect.  Below is a complexity index breakdown:
    Index
    NUM_TAX_DIST
    1
    6
    <2
    49
    <3
    44
    <4
    23
    <5

    Before trying tessellation, I tweaked the spatial indexes in several different ways, but the runtimes never changed by more than a minute or two.  I reset the spatial indexes to "geometry auto grid @ 32" and tried out your tessellation functions
    using the default of 5000 vertices.  Total runtime 2.3 minutes, a 96% reduction and twice as fast as PostgresSQL!  Now that is more what I was expecting before i started.
    I tried using different thresholds, 3,000 and 10,000 vertices but the runtimes were slightly slower, 3.5 and 3.3 minutes respectively.  A threshold of 5000 definitely seems to be a sweet spot for the dataset I am using.  As the thread you referenced
    discussed, SQL Server spatial functions like STIntersect appear to be sensitive to the number of vertices of polygons.
    After reading your comment, it reminded me of some discussions with Esri staff about ArcGIS doing the same thing in certain circumstances, but I didn't go as far as thinking to apply it here.  So, thanks for the suggestion and code from another post.
     Once I realized the SRID was hard coded to 0 in tvf_QuarterPolygon, I was able to update the code to set it to the same as the input shape, and then everything came together nicely.

  • Can we Install SQL Server Express with Advanced Services x 64 bit for our testing purpose without procuring any license? Also can we use it for commercial use if we are neglect risk sof using it on Production?

    Hi,
    Yes you can, but you should be aware of the limitations of MS SQL Express version.
    1. 1GB RAM
    2. 10 GB database size per database excluding log file (SQL 2008 R2 and above)
    3.Job Scheduling service is not available with SQL Server Express.
    4.Data import and export feature is not available with SQL Server Express.
    5.Limitation on number of CPU
    Refer following article for features supported by different editions of MS SQL Server.

  • License for multi-core CPU on SQL Server Express

    I would like to know is it Legal to use SQL Server Express 2008 R2 / 2012
    on a machine using 6 cores CPU(e.g.Xeon E5-2440).
    Thank you.

    SQL Express 2012 will USE a maximum of 4 cores, but there's nothing preventing you running on a server with more cores than that, it simply won't use those additional 2 cores.
    For the limitations of the different versions of SQL Server 2012 see
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993(v=SQL.110).aspx#CrossBoxScale
    I can't remember the exact situation with 2008 R2 unfortunately. From
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993(v=sql.105).aspx#Scalability you'll see it's listed simply as being limited to 1 CPU with no mention of cores, so it MIGHT be the case that it will use all of that one physical CPU, but can't remember if that's
    definitely the case or not.

  • SQL Server Express - Size limitations

    Hi,
    I am currently using the SQL Server Express edition with the intention of upgrading to the full version in the future.
    I know the size limitation on the Database is 4GB - however does this include the log file as well? Nothing I read says the log file is included however if anyone can give the definitive answer I would be grateful.
    Also my log file maximum is set to 2GB what issues are there with reducing this to say 500MB? I assume SQL Server automatically drops the old log data to add new data when the maximum is reached.
    Thanks for your help.
    Andrew

    The 4GB limit only applies to data files, not log.
    The maxsize for your log files should only be relevant if something in your workload is going to require more then the size so that the log will have to grow.  Ideally, your log is appropriately sized for your workload so that autogrow will not
    need to occur.
    Hello, am using ms sqlserver 2005 express edition..now it is giving out of memory exception while starting the service.. may i know the reason.. please help me.

  • Having issues with getting SQL Server Express to start services and run.

    Good afternoon everyone,
    I have been working on a 2012 R2 server getting ready to move databases to new hardware.  I had SQL Server Express 2008 R2 running on this server with no issues.  I was handed another software package that ran SQL Express 2012 and had to for compatibility
    reasons.  I have had multiple versions run on Server 2012 before with no issues.  This time, not so lucky.  When the installer from the updated package put on SQL Express 2012 it completed with errors ( error log posted at the end of post) and
    would not allow me to run software.  I then tried the db that I had installed on 2008 R2 and it also gave the  same error as the 2012 version.  IN basic terms the required services attempted to start and shut back down again.  I have received
    Error 1068 about database handles and error %%945.   I know this db has plenty of space and the permissions were added for the Admin account to access both db's.  I then uninstalled both versions and tried again, with the same errors listed when
    I tried to start the services.     I am thinking that a clean install would fix the issue however I am not certain what files/folders/reg entries need to be deleted or modified.  I have researched all the errors I can find, however I am very
    new with SQL anything so I know I am missing something.   I also do not have an "E:" drive on this server (not sure why it is going there). Input would be very welcome as I am not certain where to go from here. 
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi HMLunger,
    Did you install the SQL Server instance successfully? If not, please help to post the summary and detail logs for analysis. By default, the logs can be found in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
    However, if you fail to start SQL Server Express service after successfully installing SQL Server,
    you might have to change the paths of the files by running the following scripts from the command prompt. For more details, please review this similar
    thread.
    NET START MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS /f /T3608
    SQLCMD -S .\SQLEXPRESS
    ALTER DATABASE model MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    ALTER DATABASE model MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    go
    exit;
    ALTER DATABASE msdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    ALTER DATABASE msdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    NET STOP MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS
    In addition, you can follow the steps in this KB article to uninstall SQL Server.

  • Convert Existing MDB database files to SQL Server Express

    Hi All,
    Can some one please help me on this:
    1) What is the current version of SQL Server Express?
    2) HOw much SQL Server Express costs (figure about 500 branch servers)
    3)Are there any Tools from Microsoft to convert Access 97 directly to SQL Server express, and how much do they cost?
    4)Server Hardware requirements to run SQL Server Express - disk size, memory size, security settings, pre-requisite, service needed.
    5)Maximum capacity / capabilities of SQL Server Express-max # of simultaneous users,tables,rows,database size.
    6)Any installation instruction for SQL Server Express.
    Thanks in Advance, Pls help
    Thanks
    Tony

    Hi Tony,
    Besides Bruce’s post, firstly, SQL Server Express is a free SQL Server edition,
     you can download SQL Server 2014 Express directly from
    this link and install it on your computer. For how to install SQL Server 2014 Express, please follow the steps in this similar
    blog.
    Secondly, for more information about hardware and software requirements for Installing SQL Server 2014 Express, please review this article:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx .
    Thirdly, SQL Server Express has the following limitations:
    • 1 physical processor
    • 1 GB of RAM
    • 4 GB database size per database in SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server 2008 Express , 10 GB database size per database in SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and higher versions of SQL Server Express.
    However, there is no limit to the numbers of databases in SQL Server Express. And there is no technical limit to the number of connection that SQL Express can handle.
    In addition, there are several methods to convert an Access database to SQL Server, such as using

  • Install MS SQL Server Web Edition on a server with MS SQL Server Express

    Hi,
    We have a VPS cloud server on which there is an instance of SQL Server Express.
    Since we need more resources, I consulted with the hosting provider and they offered us to use SQL Server Web Edition (SPLA Lisence).
    My question is - the hosting company claims that it is not possible to keep the SQL Server Express instance along side with the  SQL Server Web Edition, and that we must do ugrade and remove the  SQL Server Express instance.
    This will cause us a long downtime, since there are multiple DBs on the SQL Server Express that we will have to backup, and then restore them one by one on the Web Edition after it is installed.
    Is this correct? Can't we install the SQL Server Web Edition Instance and gradually move the DBs to it?
    Thanks!

    The 50 instances per machine is a setup check rule as opposed to a hardware limitation.  From this perspective, there would be no difference between a VM or a physical server. 
    In the line from the documentation that you referenced, the "stand-alone server" refers not to VM vs. Physical, but instead a stand-alone instance vs. a clustered instance.  That is, in a non-clustered environment, you can have up to 50 instances.
    In the past when I helped with setup testing and automation, we'd run VMs with 20-ish instances, including instances from 2012, 2008 R2, 2008, and 2005, including multiple editions (Enterprise, Standard, Express, Web, etc.).
    One other potential option if your provider cannot support multiple instances is to do an in-place upgrade (edition upgrade) of your existing Express instance.  This would retain the current instance and upgrade the existing instance from Express
    to Web without the need to migrate databases.  Here is more info on the supported version and edition upgrade paths (including Express to Web):

  • Problem with Datasource for SQL Server Express

    I have set up a development environment to develop some processes for the HCSO client and have a question.  I have a turnkey install on my laptop with MYSQL.  The liveCycle databases are in MYSQL.  I have also installed SQL Server Express on this machine and created a table to query that will control workflow.  I added a datasource configuration in the adobe-ds.xml configuration file.  That configuration is:
    <local-tx-datasource>
                <jndi-name>HCSO</jndi-name>
                <connection-url>jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=DBName</connection-url>
                <driver-class>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</driver-class>
                <user-name>username</user-name>
                <password>password</password>
                <min-pool-size>1</min-pool-size>
                <max-pool-size>30</max-pool-size>
                <blocking-timeout-millis>60000</blocking-timeout-millis>
                <autoReconnect>true</autoReconnect>
                <idle-timeout-minutes>15</idle-timeout-minutes>
                <prepared-statement-cache-size>100</prepared-statement-cache-size>
                <transaction-isolation>TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED</transaction-isolation>
                <new-connection-sql>Select id from HCSOUser.eric</new-connection-sql>
                <check-valid-connection-sql>Select id from HCSOUser.eric</check-valid-connection-sql>
                <metadata>
                      <type-mapping>MS SQLSERVER2000</type-mapping>
                </metadata>
          </local-tx-datasource>
    In SQL Server, I created a user and a schema with the same name in a database.  I created a simple table called "eric" with one column called "id".  The user was given the appropriate default schema and given full permissions on the database and table.
    In workbench, I added a JDBC query single row activity.  I have configured the datasource as java:/HCSO and also tried java:HCSO.  I then entered the query as "Select id from HCSOUser.eric" and hit test.  Nothing appears in the results area.  I see the following in the server.log:

  • SQL Server Express - License Confusion

    Good day everyone,
    We were audited for Microsoft Installations recently and the auditing company indicated that we need to pay license fees for SQL Express installations as core components like Reporting Services have been installed with the SQL Express Instance.
    Please advise if that is the case, because as far as I know SQL Server Express is free to use and free to deploy. Honestly this sounds like someone trying to make money for something that was provided free of charge to the community.
    Thank you in advance for any wisdom shared.

    Hello,
    Have you considered calling Microsoft Licensing about this? You can call 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist. You can also visit the following site for more information
    and support on licensing issues:
    http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/mla/default.aspx
    Hope this helps.

  • SQL Server Express hosting and EULA

    Hi, I have a (possibly stupid) question. I want to use SQL Server Express for hosting. It is for a small project and on a dedicated server, so I don't think there would be any problems with the limitation of express edition.
    However, I have run into one formal problem:
    If I look at the the SQL 2014 Express_Hosting_Redistribution_EULA (found at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29693), it has section 2b. which permits hosting. But in the license terms that are in the installation, this section i missing,
    so the "You may not use the software for commercial software hosting services" rule would apply.
    Why is that? Is there another version of SQL Server Express that allows hosting? If so, where can I find it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can use Express edition for Hosting, its allowed and EULA is correct. Just because it is missing in License terms "does not means it is not allowed".

  • Anyone else having issues writting string "memo" fields to Access 2007-2010 or SQL Server Express 2008-2012?

    I have a data cluster that I am working to write to either Access 2007 thru 2010 and/or SQL Server Express 2008 thru 2012 all on a Windows 7 64 bit OS. Some of the elements are long strings that I put delimited data for the raw trace data. The fields can be 10's of KB long. With Access I cannot stuff any string >255char into the memo field. With SQL Server Express 2008R2 - 2012 I found that if the strings are >32767 they again fail to fill the memo fields. The Access write or reads work fine otherwise, just not the listed offending fields in the cases mentioned.  Anyone else having the issue or a solution?

    If the long string field has repetitive data, you might be able to compress it using GZIP to reduce it's size below the 32K limitation you mentioned.

    Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

  • Connectivity Pack & SQL Server Express

    I am considering purchasing the connectivity pack but am
    unsure if it will work with SQL Server Express (advanced edition).
    I really don't want to purchase the full blown SQL Server 2005 so
    your help would be greatly appreciated!

    Here is a follow up from adobe techincal support.
    Thank you for contacting Technical Support.
    You wanted to know if RoboEngine could be integrated with SQL
    Server Express. Just like what is indicated in the TechNote, The
    version of the SQL Server that is supported is 7/ 2000. When
    RoboEngine was developed, it was tested to work with this version
    only of SQL Server. That is why our support is limited up to this
    version of the SQL server.
    I hope this information has helped you.
    I think I would have felt better if they just said, "No, it
    wont work." Anyway, I don't want to spend the money on the CP if a
    newer roboengine will come out that "should" support a new
    database.

  • 2012 SQL Server Express on Laptop

    You can download what ever version you require if its for learning. As suggested express with advanced services has SSMS inbuilt. whether you will face issue in installation or not depends on how deft you are in installing SQL Server. Follow below recommendations
    1. First take time and read
    Hardware and Software requirements for SQL Server 2012 completely
    2. Download SQL server express with advanced services make sure you meet OS requirements
    3. Follow this link to
    Install SQL Server 2012 Express
    You can also use
    SQL server 2012 Ent evaluation edition which is exactly like SQL server 2012 enterprise but has validity of 180 days
