SQL server requirement for sharepoint 2013

Hello All,
currently i have installed SharePoint2013 in server farm mode, and i have used SQL Server 2008 R2 for DB. Can i use SQL Server 2012 for SharePoint 2013?
Thanks

SharePoint 2013 is compatible with SQL 2008 R2 and SQL 2012 so yes.
What you can do is "move" the SharePoint DBs from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2012 without restore or backup.
Link to msdn: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512725(v=office.15).aspx
Here you have an example for SharePoint 2010 (is the same for SharePoint 2013): http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/664029/Migrate-SharePoint-s-SQL-Server-to-another-SQL-Ser
Here an different example: http://surya20p.blogspot.com.es/2013/09/migrate-sql-2008r2-sp2-to-sql-2012-sp1.html

Install AD / SQL Server 2012 and SharePoint 2013 on a single server as Development Environment

Hi All,
I'm planning to prepare a SharePoint 2013 development environment. The current idea is to install Domain controller, SQL Server 2012 and SharePoint 2013 all on a single server. Even though this is for development purposes,
would there be any limitations specially when it comes to SP 2013 functionalities according to your experience?
Some articles i referred.

Hi
i understand this is a sandbox environment but you should be able to install everything.

SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint

We already have SQL Server 2012 standard edition installed with SharePoint 2013. We then upgraded SQL Server 2012 to the Endterprise Edition. Now we want to install Powerpivot and we did but it looks like we did or could not previously check the box on
the SQL Server 2012 installation for SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint. How would I get this option turned on now that we already have our sharepoint up and running without it? Is it possible?

Where to install SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint?

The environment is SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition and SQL Server 2012 SP2 Enterprise Edition.
SQL Server 2012 SP2 Enterprise Edition is installed as default instance on a dedicated box.   All the features are selected in the Feature Selection windows during installation (see image).
Now, I need to install SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint.   Should it be installed on the same dedicated box? If I understand correctly, I need to select the SQL Server PowerPivot for SharepPoint option and uncheck
the checkbox Add SQL Server Database Relational Engine Services to this installation.   Does this option also install SSAS? Since there is already an existing SSAS, will that cause problem?

Hi PcSQL66,
To install SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint, you need to select SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint
on the Setup Role page. Please refer to the screenshot below.
And if you have a SSAS instance installed in your server, install SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint will install another SSAS instance.
For the detail information, please refer to the link below.

How to join a Domain Controller Server to an two-tier (SQL Server 2012) and Sharepoint 2013 (SP2013) farm

Hi,
I am trying to build a 3-tier SharePoint 2013 farm.
1. SQL Server 2012, Windows 2012 VM
2. DC Server, Windows 2012 VM
3. SharePoint 2013, Windows 2012 VM
I didn't built the DC server. Someone else did. However, I created about 14 service domain user accounts for SQL Server and SharePoint install and operation.
I was able to join the SQL Server into the SharePoint server farm using SharePoint 2013 Product Configuration Wizard. When I start the Central Admin, and click on Servers in the Farm, I only see the SharePoint server and SQL server,
but the DC server is not listed. Any suggestion on what did I miss?
Thanks
Jean

You cannot join the Domain Controller to your SharePoint farm. You must instead join each server from that farm to the domain that is served up by that DC. You will want to uninstall SharePoint and probably SQL before you do this. If it's
an option, I would re-provision your VMs completely and start fresh. Once you login to a new server, join that server to the target domain like this:
http://www.petri.co.il/join-windows-server-2012-to-domain.htm
You'd have to ensure that your DNS resolves to the target domain on the server being joined to the domain. If it doesn't, you can always use HOSTS entries to overcome that in the short term.
Once you've joined both the future SQL and SharePoint servers to the domain, you can install SQL Server and then SharePoint on their prospective servers to create your farm.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

SQL Server Reporting Services & SharePoint 2013

Hi there,
We are developing a web application in sharepoint 2013 in which we are using authentication mode="Windows”. We have used a custom web part containing report viewer control for showing charts and reports, that we have
developed using SSRS ( *.rdl files) and have all the .rdl files within Sharepoint Document Library.
To start with, we were getting the error “Report Server has encountered a SharePoint error. (rsSharePointError) The user does not exist or is not unique.” To fix this, we changed <identity impersonate="false" /> from <identity
impersonate="true" /> at web.config level which did the trick.
However, we are now facing another issue wherein tabular reports are renedered ok in SharePoint through report viewer custom web part but chart based reports are not rendered. The chart image is not displayed.
Can somebody please help with a resolution?
The code snippet for rendering the report is given below for reference purposes
Thanks in advance
Monica
privatevoid
BindReport()
            string reportFullPath
= "http://c4968397007/ReportLibrary/Reports/"
+ ReportPath;
            litReportHeading.Text = ReportPath;
            reportViewerControl.ServerReport.ReportPath = reportFullPath;
            reportViewerControl.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl =newUri("http://c4968397007/_vti_bin/ReportServer");
            reportViewerControl.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ProcessingMode.Remote;
            Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ServerReport
serverreport = reportViewerControl.ServerReport;
IReportServerCredentials irsc =newReportViewerCredentials("username","password","domainName");
            rvControl.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials = irsc;
            rvControl.ServerReport.Refresh();

Hi Monica,
In your case, please check whether your report is render correctly on your report server. If so, I would suggest you to check the version of your Internet Explorer and try to use compatibility view as well.
Another suggestion, please put the chart into a rectangle. Alternatively, can you please install the Microsoft Report Viewer 2010 try to resolve the issue? You can download the Report Viewer 2010 package from the following website:

Are there any differences between Server 2012 and Server 2012 R2 that might impact TFS or SQL server required for TFS?

Hi,
In the interest of just getting started and learning the basics of setting up TFS, I previously setup an IDE using a large workstation running Windows 8. I set up the required servers for TFS using VM's through Hyper-V. I am now transferring
everything to a new and separate physical server.
My question stems from a problem I had when I originally setup the TFS system the 1st time. I couldn't get SQL server to work using the Server 2012 R2 download from the subscription center. When I used Server 2012, it worked, so I proceeded that
way just to get going.
So now I'm setting things up anew on a new physical box, I want to ask up front, is there some difference in the R2 version that causes problems with either TFS or SQL server, or was there likely some oversight on my part when I did things the 1st time?
As an addendum to my question, I always assumed R2 merely means the Server software has progressed to a refined state and is ready for wide distribution and easy setup. I assumed that there are no differences between the Standard version and the R2
version. Is that understanding correct?
Thanks.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your response. That's a great link. I don't recall seeing a page that is so clear and easy to read back when I was doing this the 1st time, but I probably just missed it. That helps.
I am/was using TFS2013 and VS2013. As I recall, my problem was getting SQL Server to work, but I thought asking this question on this forum was wiser because I figured everyone using TFS would be well familiar with these issues.
At any rate, it seems as though TFS2013 is fine with Server 2012 standard or R2.
I was using SQL Server 2012, and it also seems as though it works on R2:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.110).aspx
Anyway, thanks for your support. I'll be trying this again and we'll see.

High availability SQL Server requirements for Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2012

Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..

Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..i mean enterprise version BI version or standard version.. i just need a detailed comparison if available please thank you

As of right this very second, SQL Server 2014 is not supported. SharePoint 2013 supports:
One of the following:
The 64-bit edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
The 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013
Edit: I may be mistaken. It looks like the April 2014 CU adds support for SQL Server 2014. If this is the case generally going with the latest SQL Edition provides you with the latest SQL functionality. I'm not aware of any SharePoint features that would
make use of functionality that is new to SQL Server 2014 but this could change with a future service pack.

SharePoint 2013 SQL Server Edition for BI Features - must be on SharePoint SQL Server?

I need to install SQL Server 2012 for a new SharePoint 2013 installation.
Let's say I want to use the BI features of SharePoint 2013 like PowerView.
I already have a separate SQL Server running SQL Server 2012 BI Edition that is used as the database server for our data warehouse and some apps. But this SQL Server will not be used to house the SharePoint 2013 databases.
Do I need to install SQL Server 2013 BI Edition on the SharePoint 2013 SQL Server (where the SharePoint 2013 databases will be housed) or can I used SQL Server 2013 Standard Edition on that server and utilize the BI Edition on the data warehouse server to
use the BI features of SharePoint?

Yes, BI or Enterprise must be installed on the SharePoint server in order to integrate SSRS. PowerPivot can be on a separate server with just a download (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35577) for certain components residing on
the SharePoint server. This will give you PowerView, as well.

Hardware Requirement for SP 2013 for 100 Users but many sites and functionalities

Hi,
We need to implement SharePoint 2013 containing the below:
100 users: 50 domain users and 50 forms authentication users.
Holding 60 sites:
12 main site collections and 30 sub sites for intranet use with windows authentication
One site collection with 30 sub sites for internet use with forms authentication
Using SharePoint Search to crawl Drives
Using SharePoint Web services for Mobile App
According to what I understand from
Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013 I have 2 options:
Single server with SQL Server: 64-bit, 4 Cores - 24 GB RAM - 80 GB System Drive
Three-tier Farm:
2 servers (Web Tier and Application Tier) each of: 64-bit, 4 Cores - 12 GB RAM - 80 GB System Drive
One SQL Server: 64-bit, 4 Cores - 8 GB RAM - 80 GB System Drive
Is that right? If it is right, then which option is better for my requirements?
Thank you.

If you're really set to go with one server, you can do two-tier on the same server.
You can install SQL Server on the same server as SharePoint (this is the "complete" option in SharePoint, not the "standalone"). If you set up and use a SQL client alias (which you should), you can move the SQL instance at a later date without having to
rebuild your farm.

Is Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.

All I want to know is if Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.
I have been planning and deploying my companies first Windows Server 2012/SQL Server 2012 Always On cluster and Always On Availability Groups Multi-Subnet cluster and instances for SharePoint 2013, and I will be brutally honest, the documentation on either
the MSDN and TechNet leave alot to be desired. Continually finding links in the documentation will take me from a Windows 2012 reference to a page talking about Windows Server 2008 or R2, The differences of which there are so many when it comes to configurations,
settings, roles, services when working with SQL Server 2012. I have been confused, frustrated, screaming mad, with all the misdirection in this documentation. The documentation takes me windows 2008 R2 which is different than 2012!
Tired and trying to pick myself up off the floor!

In general, DTC is not required for SQL 2012. But, since you are asking specifically about SharePoint, it would be better to ask in a SharePoint forum. They would be more likely to know those situations where FTC might be needed by SharePoint.

SQL Server Web Edition for SharePoint 2013

Dear Expert,
I'm not sure SQL Server Web Edition is ok for SharePoint Server 2013 or not. If I do in On-Premise or Azure.
Please suggestion.

There is no specific document that specifies that Web edition is supported. However, if you look at the requirements list for SharePoint 2013 you will notice that it specifies that it must be either SQL server 2008 r2 with SP1 or SQL 2012.
It also specifies the 64 bit version. But it doesn't specify a specific edition. That and the fact that it will run on SQL Express suggests that it will run on any edition of SQL as long as its 64 bit and a late enough release.

Can we use SQL Server as a primary data storage for SharePoint 2013?

Is it possible to use external SQL Server as a primary data storage for SharePoint 2013?
Having this implemented we can generate reports, query data and it would become very very powerful to use.
Or
Is there a way to keep on using existing content databases and using external SQL Server as a secondary data storage at the same time. So I want it to be like redundant data in SQL Server.
Thanks

Hi，
Not sure if I understand your question correctly, SharePoint has its own content database storing SharePoint list data, we can use SSRS/SSAS integated with SharePoint mode to use sharepoint list as datasource to generate reports.
