Where do I find SQL Server 2012 Express with tools

I have to have this for a class and every web page I have tried and even from the Murach's SQL Server 2012 for developers book is giving me " this page not found".
Does anyone know where I can get it?

Why I am unable to open your link Saeid ?
Saeid, BTW, also your signature link is somehow a little bit strange, here in this post the effective link is the URL of the post + sqldevelop.wordpress.com ...

    You can directly download SQL Server 2012 Express with tools from below link. Please choose SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe or SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe package to install.

  • Using SQL Server 2012 Express with Bitocker

    Hello,
    I'm currently working on getting our SQL Server Express database working with BitLocker but I am coming across a few problems. Here is my scenario:
    The OS is partitioned into two volumes (C and D).
    The C volume contains the OS and Software, while the D volume is primarily used for the database files (logs, back, and mdf).
    The D volume is encrypted using BitLocker
    The database connects using the SA account (SQL Server Authentication)
    From what I understand, BitLocker must be enabled with the same account that the SQL Server is running on. So what I have done is change the SQL Server service account to the user account (lets say its called User) via SQL Configuration Manager. While staying
    logged into User account, I then enable BitLocker via Control Panel -> System and Security -> BitLocker Drive Encryption. I then reboot and then while the software is trying to connect to the database I get the following  exception:
    'login failed for user sa'.
    Is there anything I need to do to get this working? Thanks for the help.

    Hi moncadad,
    When you turn off BitLocker, does the database also show “Recovery Pending”? If so, the simplest cause for “Recovery Pending” might be that a disk spin-up was slow, or a disk became full. Please read this
    blog to fix the issue, then check if you can successfully connect to the database after you turn on BitLocker.
    However, if you are not able to view the database contents only after you turn on BitLocker, I suspect that there are some issues about configuring BitLocker. As far as I know, Bitlocker must be performed by a member of Local Admins Group, please make sure
    that your account is a member of Local Admins Group on your computer.
    Also I would like to recommend you post the question in the
    Microsoft Bitlocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) forum to get better support. For more details about configuring SQL Server with Bitlocker, please review the following similar articles.

  • SqlLocalDB.exe not Installed when sql Server 2012 Express (LocalDb Edition) is installed

    I have been having a very frustrating time trying to connect to a localDB instance of SQL Server 2012. So I started again from scratch on another computer (Windows 7). I first installed sql server 2012 Express with tools (via ENU\x64\SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe)
    and then installed the LocalDB Edition via sqlLocalDB.msi. The first installation seems to have gone OK. The second installation proceeded normally and finally advised that "Setup has installed SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB successfully."
     A whole lot of files were installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, including sqlservr.exe.   But the SqlLocalDB.exe utility was
    not amongst them.
    Does anyone have any idea what is happening here? From where can I download a copy of sqlLocalDB.exe

    A whole lot of files were installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, including sqlservr.exe.   But the SqlLocalDB.exe utility was
    not amongst them.
    The tool is located in
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn

  • SSMS for SQL Server 2012 Express on Windows Embedded 8 Standard

    Hello,
    I have installed SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Tools (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe, downloaded from MS website) on Windows Embedded 8 Standard 64-bit. But, when I try to find SQL Server Management Studio, I realized it's not installed (same installation
    package works fine on my Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit laptop, where SSMS gets installed). How do I fix this? And any other ways for trouble-shooting DBs on Windows Embedded 8 Standard?
    Thanks,
    Jay

    Below is the content of a summary file for the installation. BTW, I also try to find its ConfigurationFile.ini file for future installation on other computers, but it's not in the folder specified in the summary file either (see below).
    Thanks.

  • Can't find ConfigurationFile.ini for SQL Server 2012 Express

    Hello,
    I installed SQL Server 2012 Express on my Windows 8.1 Pro laptop with an instance name of SqlExpress. However, when I try to find the ConfigurationFile.ini, I can't find it. I searched all the sub-folders under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup
    Bootstrap\Log\, but there is no such file. I need this file for future silent installation on many other computers. Can anybody help with this issue?
    Thanks,
    Jay

    For SQL Server Express edition you need to try with below parameters at the time of installation:
    UIMODE=Normal

  • SQL Server 2012 Express - Could not load the file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop

    Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1
    64-bit
    I just installed SQL Server 2012 express - Express with Advanced Services (contains the database engine, Express Tools, Reporting Services, and Full Text Search),
    file name -  SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.
    Opening SQL Server Management Studio causes the error -
    "Could not load the file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop,
    Version=7.1.40304.0, Culture=neutral,
    PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The
    system cannot find the file specified."
    Do I need to install another file? Did I download the wrong version?
    Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

    Hello,
    The issue may occure when the installation of your SQL Server is not a complete or a successful one. Did you try to repair or reinstall the SQL Server Express?  You can also try to install
    Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2012
    to check if the issue presists.

  • SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB parm for keeping unicode char

    in developer's windows 8.1 pc, the SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB does not seem to keep Unicode like \U2221. it get translated to the plain - instead of keeping as
    −.
    what  parameter od I need to setup to make sure it keep such character as is

    Hi fs - ab,
    You know that this forum is to discuss the VS IDE, to make this issue clearly, could you share us a screen shot for this issue? Where did you change your localDB with Unicode?
    I did some research about it.
    LocalDB supports two kinds of instances: Automatic instances and named instances.
    •Automatic instances of LocalDB are public. They are created and managed automatically for the user and can be used by any application. One automatic instance of LocalDB exists for every version of LocalDB installed
    on the user’s computer. Automatic instances of LocalDB provide seamless instance management. There is no need to create the instance; it just works. This allows for easy application installation and migration to a different computer. If the target machine
    has the specified version of LocalDB installed, the automatic instance of LocalDB for that version is available on the target machine as well. Automatic instances of LocalDB have a special pattern for the instance name that belongs to a reserved namespace.
    This prevents name conflicts with named instances of LocalDB. The name for the automatic instance is a single v character followed by the LocalDB release version number in the format xx.x. For example, v11.0 represents SQL Server 2012.
    •Named instances of LocalDB are private. They are owned by a single application that is responsible for creating and managing the instance. Named instances provide isolation from other instances and can improve performance
    by reducing resource contention with other database users. Named instances must be created explicitly by the user through the LocalDB management API or implicitly via the app.config file for a managed application (although managed application may also use
    the API, if desired). Each named instance of LocalDB has an associated LocalDB version that points to the respective set of LocalDB binaries. The instance name of a LocalDB is sysname data type and can have up to 128 characters. (This differs from regular
    named instances of SQL Server, which limits names to regular NetBIOS names of 16 ASCII chars.) The name of an instance of LocalDB can contain any Unicode characters that are legal within a filename. 
    A named instance that uses an automatic instance name becomes an automatic instance.
    Reference:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh510202(v=sql.110).aspx
    It seems that it is related to the SQL Server, am I right? If so, maybe the SQL Server forum would be better for this issue.
    If I have misunderstood this issue, please feel free to let me know.
    Best Regards,
    Jack

  • SQL Server 2012 Express error 9002 while restoring a backup from 2008

    Hi all,
    I have installed SQL Server 2012 Express on my laptop operating with win 8. Then I took the backup in my old laptop with SQL Server 2008R Express / Windows 7 and tried to restore it to the new one.
    After it restored it produced an error messaging saying that restore failed. The error code was 9002 and it says due to NOTHING. I checked the log file it is a file of 1024 kb size, not big. When I installed the SQL 2012 I disabled the autogrowth of the
    log file (exactly same setting as I had with 2008) The log is not big. I tried to further shrink, no change.
    Moreover the db is already there with full records, I can manipulate it.  Even take a back w/o problems. What is this issue? Is it resolved?
    thanks

    an error messaging saying that restore failed. The error code was 9002
    and it says due to NOTHING. I
    select *
    from sys.messages
    where message_id = 9002
    => "The transaction log for database '%ls' is full due to '%ls'. "
    Is your disk may low on free space?

  • Reports & Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB support policy

    Hello,
    Willing to move some databases into Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (2014) Express LocalDB, I have tryed to map some reports on that database.
    Using OLE DB SQL Native Client (v11) and SAP CR RunTime SP10 (>SP9), I still have trouble when using this data source:
    After drawing some simple reports (standard ones with 2-3 fields from the database):
    - VS designer:
    + when "checking database" or "getting a preview" of the report, it always complains about missing tables.
    + when trying to "re-map" tables from one SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB to another one it fails, complaining about not findind resources.
    - Running application (.NET 4.0, 32 or 64-bits):
    + without any change to the report configuration: CR Viewer complains with multiple error codes (17, ...) that it cannot find the tables
    + trying to change the configured database from the report: CR VIewer complains with some more error codes
    => Is Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB now officially supported by CR ?
    => Is changing datasource/database configuraton during execution now officially supported by CR ?
    Feel free to provide an any links / howto's / white paper about how managing Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB with SAP CR !
    Many thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    Don,
    I did not want you to think that I am not willing to change anything...
    The issue is that LocalDB specs (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms130822(v=sql.110).aspx) are not (seems not) fulfiled by what SAP APIs provide.
    Following specs, I need to provide ADO DB/SQL Native Client v11 an "AttachDBFileName" property which, for LocalDB instance, is equal to the DatabaseName property (check below screenshot from MS Mgmt Studio connected to a SQL Server 2012 LocalDB instance).
    Moreover, OLEDB discovery provide in CR 2013 UI this same list of "DatabaseName":
    When connected, this same CR 2013 UI got the right "view" of connected "MDF-labelled" names:
    Moreover, CR connected datasource properties also provide an "initial catalog" (databasename) value with that "MDF-labelled" name:
    That is what I saw previously in API dumped objects and what I tryed to reproduce in my code:
    As previously explained, after adding tables, I am also beeing able to add fields from those tables in my fresh-new report document:
    It fikrst shows results in preview but as soon as I try to refresh / add some more fields / ask CR to "check database" / "change database source", the interface always complain about having "lost" objects:
    Site note for Ludek Uher: CR 2013 StandaAlone fresh-new builded reports are not working neither using CR runtime SP10 when opening/updating that report..
    So YES, I am OK to change whatever is required but please explain me what to use/put into the "crConnectioninfo.DatabaseName" property for a SQL Express 2012 LocalDB case.
    Or leave it as is, LocalDB not being supported by CR ...
    (all my reports & c# code are working well while using SQL Express 2012 "classic" (not localdb)).
    Thanks again for your time.
    Regards.

  • SQL Server 2012 Express Instance is Not Discovered

    I have a single SQL Server 2012 Express instance that is the backend database for a small door security application.  I just noticed after having deployed the OpsMgr agent months ago that it never discovered the SQL instance.  The SQL instance
    is, as stated, Express, and it's the only Express instance I have.  Is that why it is not discovered?  All the documentation I found seems to indicate the opposite -- that Express is discovered and there are steps you can take to exclude Express
    instances.  I have no overrides set to exclude any instance or any database.
    - System Center Operations Manager 2012 RTM (no SP1, no R2)
    - SQL Server 2012 MP version 6.3.173.1
    - SQL Server is Windows Server 2012
    - SQL Server 2012 Express running on a Hyper-V VM.  Instance is named DOORSERVER\Eclipse
    - Agent is installed and other discoveries seem to be working fine
    - No discovery errors in the event log related to SQL, although there is one about the Windows Server 2008 discovery not being able to start, but I'm on Windows Server 2012, so I am guessing that's okay?
    - No overrides are set on the discovery
    - Discovery has found every other SQL Server 2012 instance (standard and enterprise editions)

    Well, just realized I didn't have the latest MP.  Upgrading to 6.4.1.0 version of the SQL MP fixed the discovery issue.

  • SQL Server 2012 Express bulk Insert flat file 1million rows with "" as delimeter

    Hi,
    I wanted to see if anyone can help me out. I am on SQL server 2012 express. I cannot use OPENROWSET because my system is x64 and my Microsoft office suit is x32 (Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0).
    So I used Import wizard and is not working either. 
    The only thing that let me import this large file, is:
    CREATE TABLE #LOADLARGEFLATFILE
    Column1
    varchar(100), Column2 varchar(100), Column3 varchar(100),
    Column4 nvarchar(max)
    BULK INSERT
    #LOADLARGEFLATFILE
    FROM 'C:\FolderBigFile\LARGEFLATFILE.txt'
    WITH 
    FIRSTROW = 2,
    FIELDTERMINATOR ='\t',
    ROWTERMINATOR ='\n'
    The problem with CREATE TABLE and BULK INSERT is that my flat file comes with text qualifiers - "". Is there a way to prevent the quotes "" from loading in the bulk insert? Below is the data. 
    Column1
    Column2
    Column3
    Column4
    "Socket Adapter"
    8456AB
    $4.25
    "Item - Square Drive Socket Adapter | For "
    "Butt Splice" 
    9586CB
    $14.51
    "Item - Butt Splice"
    "Bleach"
    6589TE
    $27.30
    "Item - Bleach | Size - 96 oz. | Container Type"

    Hi lgnusLumen,
    According to your description, you use BULK INSERT to import data from a data file to the SQL table. However, to be usable as a data file for bulk import, a CSV file must comply with the following restrictions:
    1. Data fields never contain the field terminator.
    2. Either none or all of the values in a data field are enclosed in quotation marks ("").
    In your data file, the quotes aren't consistent, if you want to prevent the quotes "" from loading in the bulk insert, I recommend you use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard tools in SQL Server Express version. area, it will allow to strip the
    double quote from columns, you can review the following screenshot.
    In other SQL Server version, we can use SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to import data from a flat file (.csv) with removing the double quotes. For more information, you can review the following article.
    http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1316/strip-double-quotes-from-an-import-file-in-integration-services-ssis/
    In addition, you can create a function to convert a CSV to a usable format for Bulk Insert. It will replace all field-delimiting commas with a new delimiter. You can then use the new field delimiter instead of a comma. For more information, see:
