Use a seperate SQL server in Sharepoint 2013

We have SharePoint 2013 installed and running and its config, content, Search, etc. DBs on SQL 2008R2. 
I want to create several NEW SharePoint DBs on a different SQL server that is running SQL 2012 SP1 (For BI mainly) but Im getting errors when attempting to do this.  I do have rights on the server and in SQL to perform this action but what
im afraid is that SharePoint doesn't allow me connect to two different SQL servers in the same SP farm.  I'm am wrong on this assumption? 

You can have as many SQL Servers attached to a farm as you want. Make sure your Farm Admin has dbcreator and securityadmin rights. Then, of course validate that there are no network or host-based firewalls blocking access to SQL ports.

  • Can service application be installed on sql server in sharepoint 2013

    Hi ,
    I want to install SharePoint server 2013. I have two machines 
    machine 1 : 4 Gb ram , 2.53 GHZ processor  core i5 processor( I could upgrade ram to 8 GB)
    Machine 2: 8 GB ram , 2.43 GHZ processor core i3 processor.
    I want to install sql server 2008 R2  on one of the machine and SharePoint server 2013 on another.
    I want to get best performance out of  two systems. 
    I would do farm installation.
    1.) Does sql server need to be more powerful or SharePoint server hardware wise.
    2.) Can i install applications like , search server , access server etc on the server running sql server.
    Basically I am looking for best performance.

  • Change Sql server of sharepoint 2013

    I have instlled sharepoint 2013 with sql express edition. Now the issue is rising that my database grows up more than 10gb. Now i want to move it to sql express edition. Suggest me the best way to do?
    I have database backup. Sharepoint site backup and stuff required to do.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you still have enough disk space, you can upgrade your Express Edition to Standard Edition on the same server and install the appropriate SQL Server updates. If you want to move the databases to a different server running SQL Server standard edition,
    you can backup the databases from the Express Edition, restore it on the Standard Edition, copy the SQL Server logins between them and create a SQL Alias on the SharePoint servers to point to the new Standard Edition database server

  • SQL Server for SharePoint farm

    Hi All,
    As per the best practice to setup the farm, SQL Server shouldn't be a physical machine instead of Virtual. I am wondering what is the reason behind it?
    If we do setup the farm in Azure then will it be ok to use the VM for SQL Server since SharePoint doesn't support Azure SQL Server?
    Regards Restless Spirit

    Generally, for On-Premise, many organizations do not support or allow IT departments to virtualize database servers. This policy is typical in organizations that have dedicated database teams that tightly manage and maintain SQL Server. In these controlled
    deployments, the database team has to create all databases. Virtualizing SQL Server is not an option
    In Azure IASS, SQL VMs are supported

  • Is there a way in install a trial version of Project server on a Licensed edition server of sharepoint 2013?

    Is there a way in install a trial version of Project server on a Licensed edition server of sharepoint 2013? Is there anyway around this or do I need to make a new box all trial versions to test this out?
    Thanks
    James T.F

    James,
    Yes, it is possible , however I wont recommend to do it. Since, once Project trial period expires  you need to uninstall project server which can not be done without uninstalling SharePoint. Unless you are willing to rebuild the farm once your
    testing is completed

  • How to load decimal values into a file using bcp in SQL Server 2000?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to load data from a database table to a text file using bcp on SQL Server 2000. When I'm loading the decimal values, the values before the decimal are not being loaded into the file. How could I load the values before decimals?
    Here are the DDLs and DMLs of what I'm trying to run:
    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Product_Sales](
    [Year_of_Sale] [smallint] NOT NULL,
    [Product_Type] [varchar](25) NOT NULL,
    [Product_Group] [varchar](25) NOT NULL,
    [Category_Type] [varchar](25) NOT NULL,
    [Category_Group] [varchar](10) NOT NULL,
    [Product_Count] [bigint] NOT NULL,
    [Product_Amount] [decimal](19, 2) NOT NULL,
    [Category_Count] [bigint] NOT NULL,
    [Category_Amount] [decimal](19, 2) NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT [PK_Product_Sales] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
    [Year_of_Sale] ASC,
    [Product_Type] ASC,
    [Product_Group] ASC,
    [Category_Type] ASC,
    [Category_Group] ASC
    ) ON [PRIMARY]
    ) ON [PRIMARY]
    INSERT INTO [Yearly_Sales].[dbo].[Product_Sales]
    VALUES(2010, 'Online', 'Web', 'Cameras', 'Electronics', 547, 0.00, 0, 0.00)
    EXEC [master].[dbo].[xp_cmdshell] 'bcp "SELECT * FROM [Yearly_Sales].[dbo].[Product_Sales]" queryout D:\Yearly_Sales\Product_Sales.dat -c -T -S'
    And the output I see in the file is:
    2010 Online Web Cameras Electronics 547 .00 0 .00
    The values before decimals are being truncated.
    Thanks,
    Bangaaram
    Known is a DROP, Unknown is an OCEAN.

    You can modify the decimal column(s) in the table to varchar type before export. But it does not look good.
    alter table [dbo].[Product_Sales]
    Alter column [Product_Amount] varchar(20)
    alter table [dbo].[Product_Sales]
    Alter column [Category_Amount] varchar(20)
    Does that make any sense?
    Known is a DROP, Unknown is an OCEAN.
    Basically you modify the decimal column to a varchar type before you run the bcp command for export. You can modify your source table or you can modify them on the fly. It is just a workaround.
    Modifying the source wouldn't be a good idea. Never do that if you can't get your desired output.

  • Correct Way to use Bind variables when using an MS SQL server backend

    Hey,
    I'm having some trouble figuring out how to use bind variables in a view when using an MS SQL server backend. For some reason when I'm using an ApplicationModule that has a MS SQL Server JDBC library loaded and I attempt to click OK when editing the following query:
    SELECT kit_status, component_id
    FROM numbered_inv
    WHERE trialname = :1
    I get an error stating that "SQL Query Error Message Incorrect Syntax near ':'". Is JDeveloper compatible with SQL server for bind variables because this query runs just fine if I replace the :1 with a say "Testing testing".
    Thanks in advance
    Edited by: NullCheck on Dec 15, 2010 2:06 PM

    Gotcha. I had tried %1% %0% ?0 and ?1 and various other permutations none of which worked. Got it working by setting the query to:
    SELECT kit_status, component_id
    FROM numbered_inv
    WHERE trialname = ?
    ORDER BY kit_status
    And then adding a bind variable with "Bind position" set to 0.
    Thanks again Shay!
