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.

SQL Server Standard Edition with Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise

Hi there,
I need some help figuring out what will be the ideal SQL Server Standard Edition that can run all features for SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition. I ordered CAL licenses for a Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise Server (Supports 500 users). Now I need to find out
if it is worth upgrading SQL server to the following:
Upgrade to SQL Server Standard R2 2012 or upgrade to SQL Server Standard 2014? Basically, I am looking for the pros and cons?

Hello,
PowerPivot for SharePoint is a feature available only if SQL Server Enterprise Edition and Business Intelligence Edition is used. Reporting Services of SQL Server Standard has also some limitations that will impact SharePoint 2013.
Additionally, SQL Server Standard Edition do not offer AlwaysON, database snapshots and online index rebuild.
To me, the biggest difference between SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition and SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition is that SQL 2014 Standard now supports 128 GB of RAM. SQL Server 2012 Standard is limited to 64 GB.

Sql Server Web Edition Reporting Services errors when trying to connect to Windows Azure SQL

I am using a preconfigured image from the Azure VM Gallery to create a VM.
--> Sql Server 2012 SP1 Web running under Windows Server 2008 R2
After configuring Reporting Services I get the following error when trying to run a report that connects to my Azure SQL db.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'SQLAZURE' that is either not registered for this report server or is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. (rsDataExtensionNotFound)
On the VM using SSMS I can connect to the Azure SQL db. On the VM in Report Builder when I define a connection I get a similar error to the one above when I test that connection. I am using Microsoft Azure SQL as the data source type.
Interestingly in Report Builder, if I proceed past the connection definition, I can see the tables from my Azure SQL db in the dataset definition page.
One more note. If I use a different image from the Gallery (Sql Server 2012 Standard SP1 on Windows Server 2012) my report builder connection works and the reports run fine. I believe that the Azure documentation says that Sql Server Web edition
is an acceptable choice for the SSRS on VM for reporting.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks -- Tom Reilly

Hello,
A VM with SQL Server 2008 R2 or 2012 supports all Reporting Services features, including all supported data sources, customization and extensibility, and scheduled report execution and delivery.
Did you run the report in Report Manager,or preview the report in Report Builder? Which version of the Report Builder you installed in the Windows Azure VM? SQL Reporting does not support reports created from Report Builder 1.0 or 2.0. You can create reports
using Report Builder 3.0 and then upload the reports.
What's more, please also check the database source credential of the report.

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):

Speed of SQL server web edition is slow then express edition

Hello,
I have query regarding performance difference between SQL server express edition and web edition.
There two server with same configuration (8 GB Ram, 4 core, hard disk has about 90 GB free memory), both server has only SQL server not any other software or programs which affect the performance.
Software version as below:
Server1: Windows server 2012 R2 & Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - 12.0.2430.0 (X64) web edition
Server2: Windows server 2008 R2 & Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) - 10.50.4000. 0 (X64) express edition
I have restore one database backup on both servers (So on both server database with same records) and executed some queries on both the servers, Result bit surprising because express edition is always faster than web edition.
Then I have do following things but still result is same:
Rebuild indexes
Make max memory allocation same
Please provide me suggestion to improve speed of Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - 12.0.2430.0 (X64) web edition
Thank in advance.

So exactly the same plan for both. What does Profiler say? Same amount of I/O, CPU? If so, next step would be to eliminate the network and other paths out from the machine. If it is a SELECT, then you can add INTO into a temp table and see if you get the
same performance. If so, you know the issue is with the data leaving your SQL Server ang getting to the client - those aspects.

SQL Standard vs Enterprise Edition for SharePoint 2013

Do all SharePoint 2013 BI features come with SQL Server SP1 Standard Edition?
Is there any difference if I install SharePoint 2013 on SQL standard edition rather that enterprise edition?

No, all BI features come with the Business Intelligence or Enterprise version. Take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx.
Yes, there is a difference in how databases are handled when not dealing with BI features. The two largest examples are the lack of being able to snapshot databases (for content database or site collection backups) or perform an online reorganization of
indexes in Standard.

Report preview issue in SQL Server Data Tools for VS2013 2013

I have a basic table based report backed by an SQL2012 stored procedure. When I try to preview the report I get this error:
There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe://localhost/PreviewProcessingService6476/ReportProcessing that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP acction. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
How do you view the inner exception?
How do you troubleshoot this error?
scott

Hi scortt_m,
Based on the error message, generally it occurs because the .Net pipe Listener Adapter is Stopped in Service. Please follow the steps below:
1. Oper to Start and type Service.
2. Go to Service, find .Net Pipe Listener Adapter.
3. Right click and start this service.
Also please refer to the similar threads below:
There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe://localhost/
No endpoint listening at net.pipe exception
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Using BizTalk Enterprise Edition 2009/2013 with SQL Server Standard Edition vs Enterprise Edition

Hi All,
I would like to know what are the Drawbacks of using BizTalk Server Enterprise Edition 2009/2013 with SQL Server Standard Edition vs Enterprise Edition.
We are currently using Enterprise Edition.
1) Are there any adverse performance constraints? Microsoft mentions to use SQL Server Enterprise Edition for "Optimal Performance" but does not expand on the topic.
2) Any features missing?
2) Is there a supported way to downgrade SQL Enterprise to Standard for an exisiting BTS Environment?
Thanks!

1) SQL Standard is limited to 4 CPU's and 64GB of memory while Enterprise is 8 CPU and 2TB or memory.
2) The only BizTalk feature dependency on a SQL Enterprise feature is BAM Real-Time Aggrigations which requires Analysis Services RTA.
3) Yes, but it's not a SQL downgrade really, you would move the BizTalk databases:

SharePoint 2013 only supports SSRS 2012 SP1 - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492257.aspx. You'll need to upgrade your SSRS instance to 2012 SP1.

Change SQL server instance collation after Sharepoint installation

Installed Sharepoint 2013 with the SQL Server 2012 db instance using the default collation Latin1_General_CI_AS. SQL is just used for Sharepoint 2013. the system is not released yet for production Run the installation and configurations and database
attach for all content databases. all content dbs were created by SP with proper collation Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS, as well as search, UP and all service applications.
Would like to change the SQL collation for the instance to Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS(as
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2008668) . Steps that I see:
1. Stop IIS on SP
2. Script logins
3. recreate instance collation
setup /QUIET /ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE /INSTANCENAME=<Name> /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=<Sysadmins> /SAPWD=PasswordSA /SQLCOLLATION=Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS
4.recreate logins (including Sharepoint farm, portal and services service accounts) from previous scripts. Redeploy linked servers ,remote logins,endpoints, backup devices
4. attach all Sharepoint databases
5. since it is preproduction not need msdb also model can remain as recreated by setup
do you see any issue?

Hello,
Please take in consideration the steps suggested by Darren Madsen on the following resource.

SQL Server Web Virtual Machine A3 Standard Plan

I want to get a virtual machine to host a few web sites. These sites are all .NET-based, hosted with IIS and run on SQL Server Web Edition. I was thinking of getting a A3 Standard SQL Server Web VM.
1. I'd like a confirmation on if I'm right about what I'd be getting:
Cores: 4
RAM: 7 GB
Storage: 285 GB
Windows Server 2012 VM
SQL Server Web Edition pre-installed
2. What if 285 GB is not enough? Are the hard drives customizable and easily scalable?

Hi,
For your first question, we could find the detailed information at azure VM pricing:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/, and I agree with you. If the 285GB is not enough, we could consider attach a disk to our azure VM, refer to
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-windows-attach-disk/ for more details.

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.
