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.

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.

SQL Server 2012 PowerView & PoverPivot in combination with SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I have been reading articles on the internet about this, and I am little bit confused. I understand this is also changed since in SP2013. Could someone with experience clarify.
1. It looks like Power View has become a part of Reporting Services and can not be installed without Reporting Services, is this correct? If this is true, then what is this
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35577 If not, why do I see a lot of links referring to PowerView as a part of Reporting Services? for example
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/615462/Configure-Power-View-Reporting-Services-Features-o
2. Do I need Analysis Services in order to use PowerView, is other words is Analysis Services a requirement?
3. Where do I run the SQL Server 2012 Setup? I was assuming that I need to run it on SharePoint in order to add and register dll's on the SP servers, they are needed in order to create Service Applications (PowerView & PoverPivot). However in pictures
on the
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/615462/Configure-Power-View-Reporting-Services-Features-o link I see they are adding features to SQL instance. So do we run it on SharePoint or SQL server? If we run it on SharePoint server, what to do with instance name?
If on SQL server, how will SharePoint server get dll's in order to create Service Applications?
4. Can SQL 2008 be used for PowerView & PoverPivot configuration databases? I mean a scenario when SharePoint has 2012 versions of PowerView & PoverPivot DLLs (i.e. PowerView & PoverPivot Service Applications created
with SQL2012 version), but configuration databases itself for these applications are in SQL 2008? I know that such a scenario was supported with SSRS on SP2010(you could simply run the SQL2012 setup on SP server and add SQL2012 SSRS, later when you configure
SSRS in SharePoint mode SQL 2008 database could be used as a SSRS configuration database)...
Thanks in advance!

1. Part of the confusion comes from the fact that there are several versions of powerview: powerview for SharePoint and PowerView for Excel. But yes, for SharePoint integration it's part of SSRS. (If you're not talking about SharePoint, then you can create
and use PowerView in Excel. No SSRS or SharePoint required. But, the link you provided is for PowerPivot for SharePoint. This provides additional functionality for folks that want to surface PowerPivot workbooks in SharePoint. (which is different than PowerView).
(PowerPivot = tabular data mode in excel = the ability to create pivottables/charts with millions of rows of data in Excel with jaw dropping performance (sorry for the advertising speak, but in my experience, it's true). PowerView = the ability to create
dashboards / eye candy / other neat visualizations like maps for data that is stored in a tabular data model (PowerPivot or SSAS in tabular mode)).
2. No. PowerView was originally designed to use "tabular data models" as their source of data. There are two ways to create a tabular data model: An SSAS instance in tabular mode, or an Excel Workbook with a powerPivot data model (PowerPivot is the excel
version of the tabular data model). So, if you have a workbook that has data loaded in through PowerPivot, you can create a PowerView report in that workbook and surface it with excel services, with no SSAS needed.
3. On a SharePoint box. The only way to install SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode is to install SSRS on a SharePoint WFE. (The databases they use will go on the SQL box, but the bits for SSRS go on the SharePoint box)
4. According to the following doc, SharePoint 2013 only supports SSRS 2012 SP1 (which means only SQL 2012):

Which version of Windows Server 2012 needs to be ordered so that I can downgrade to Windows Server 2008 64bit Standard SP2

Dears in Microsoft,
We need to have Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2 64bit to be installed and due to the fact it is no more available in Microsoft.
I am going to order Windows 2012 with 16 CAL in order to downgrade it to Windows 2008 Standard SP2 64bit. My question is:
1. Which version of Windows Server 2012 needs to be ordered so that I can downgrade to Windows Server 2008 64bit Standard SP2?
2. what else required in terms of product key, media, license...etc?
Appreciate your kind supports.
thanks and best regards

Any licensing questions are always best addressed by a trained Microsoft licensing specialist. You can find whom to call by looking at www.microsoft.com/licensing.
One of the built-in rights of a Windows Server license is the right to run earlier versions of the operating system. So if you purchase either Standard or Datacenter, you can run 2008 Standard.
However, that does not provide the media or activation codes for earlier versions of the operating sytem. You have to obtain those via other channels. You should most likely contact a Microsoft reseller and talk to them. They will
most likely have a trained licensing specialist on hand to help answer your questions, and they should also be able to provide media for earlier distributions (for a slight fee).

I will not qualify it as best. Best depends on your requirement. 2008 r2 is much cheaper than SS2012 and SS2014. First make sure what all features you need in your new environment. Please read below link for features supported by various editions of SQL
server
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx
If you think 2012/2014 fits in your requirement well then go ahead.

Which version of SQL Server 2014 should I be using?

Hello,
I'm writing a Visual Basic.NET application for a school network. I am new to databases and made the assumption that I need Microsoft SQL Server (I've gone for the express edition). My plan is to run a copy on the school's server and connect to it through
several instances of my program, each on their own computer on the school network. The server is 64bit so I know I should be getting the 64bit edition. However, I'm not sure whether I should choose LocalDB, Express, Express with Tools, Management Studio Express
or any of the other versions.
Which one should I choose?

Hi 08robertsj,
Based on your description, you can install SQL Server 2014 Express with Tools (SQLEXPRWT _x64_ENU.exe)
or SQL Server 2014 Express with Advanced Services (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe) on the 64-bit server.
SQLEXPRWT _x64_ENU.exe package contains everything needed to install and configure SQL Server as a database server including the full version of SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe package is a larger download than “with Tools,” as it
also includes both Full Text Search and Reporting Services.
LocalDB is meant for developers, with it you can simply create and work with databases from code. Express edition includes the SQL Server database engine only. SQL Server Management Studio Express doesn’t not contain the database, but only the tools to manage
SQL Server instances.
For more details about the difference between Express editions, please review the following link.

Which version of sql server should i install in windows 8 pro 32bit?

i have installed sql server 2012 express x64 advanced edition.when i'm trying for setup it is showing a pop up window saying "compatibility problem please check this system requriments and contact software publisher" I have windows 8 pro 32 bit
OS.Please give me a solution for this problem.

you cannot install a x64 software on a 32 bit OS.
Download SQL 2012 express x86 advanced edition or Download SQL 2014 express x86 advanced edition
ENU\x86\SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe
Regards, Ashwin Menon My Blog - http:\\sqllearnings.com
Ashwin this is not correct :). You can install standalone 32 bit SQL Server on 64 bit OS. This is not supported for cluster setup. This environment is specifically called WOW64. As per
Books online doc
WOW64 Support:
WOW64 (Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit) is a feature of 64-bit editions of Windows that enables 32-bit applications to run natively in 32-bit mode. Applications function in 32-bit mode, even though the underlying operating system is a 64-bit operating system.
On a supported 64-bit operating system, SQL Server 32-bit edition can be installed to the WOW64 32-bit subsystem of a 64-bit server. WOW64 is supported only for stand-alone instances of SQL Server. WOW64 is not supported for SQL Server failover cluster installations.
For SQL Server 64-bit edition installations on supported 64-bit operating systems, Management Tools are supported in WOW64. For more information about supported operating systems, select an edition of SQL Server 2014 from the sections below.
Yona,
As suggested you should install 64 bit version of SQL Server on 64 bit machine

Do I need to install x64 and x86 versions of SQL Server 2012 SP2?

Hi,
I have installed x64 version of SQL 2012 SP2. Do I need to install x86 version of SP2 as well?
(I have some x86 components installed as well that came with various things like SSDT-BI and/or Visual Studio installations.)
When I click "SQL Server Installation Center (64-bit).lnk" shortcut and run "Installed SQL Server features discovery report", it says "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Setup Discovery Report".
When I click "SQL Server Installation Center.lnk" shortcut and run same, it says "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 Setup Discovery Report".
Both reports say the same thing: the installed version is 11.2.5058.0, which is SP2.

Hello,
No you dont have to install X86 version
SQL server 2012 installable will install SQL server as per process architecture of your machine. If it is 32 bit machine it will install 32 bit version and for 64 bit it will install 64 bit version. installable has facility for both
Even on 64 bit machines some files, which always work in 32 bit compatibilyt mode, will be installed as well andand they go to SQL server (X86) folder. BIDS, SSIS always by default works in 32 bit compatibility mode.
If report says version as 11.2.5058 it means component is patched to SP2

Installing SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition or wait for SP2?

Hi everyone,
I just received my copy of SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition I ordered. As usual, before installing, I searched the web for any hint or other stuff on the subject.
I first found that SP1 was already available. Honestly I prefer installing using the last version available instead of upgrading. I found the SP1 install package using the following web address:
http://www.microsoft.com/fr-ca/download/details.aspx?id=35575
Is this the right install package to use?
Now, still reading everything I could find on that SP1, I found stories about major issues with SP1.
Two examples I remember:
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/770630
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2793634/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
Two others (not specifically related to SP1):
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlsetupandupgrade/thread/a0da3372-ab3d-4af0-b4c4-0d47163e0e03/
http://www.sqlperformance.com/2012/11/system-configuration/2012-cal-problems
My question. Should I wait for SP2? If so, any target date when it should be available?
If not, what would you recommend as the logic install sequence? Should I look for any cumulative update(s)? Any other "manual settings" I should consider?
Finally, can someone guide me regarding what options I should choose while installing. My main goal is to program/build C++, C# applications using VS2010 that will interface with SQL Server for data storage purposes (add/update/delete,
batch update/delete) and reports.
Hope to hear from someone.
Stephane
BTW: My current setup is the following:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU [email protected]
3.00 Go
Vista Ultimate SP2 32bits
Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition (which will be upgraded to last SP once installed)

Hi again,
I proceeded with download of CU7. On Microsoft's webpage, there are several files we can download:
2012_SP1_DAC_CU7_2894115_11_0_3393_x86
2012_SP1_AOrcleDes_CU7_2894115_11_0_3393_x86

SQLServer2012_SP1_CU7_2894115_11_0_3393_x86
Which one I should choose?
Also, some people reported having problems installing this update.

SQL Server 2012 - Wat Is The Best Solution For Creating a Read Only Replicated/AlwaysOn Database

Hi there I was wondering if someone may have a best recommendation for the following requirement I have with regards setting up a third database server for reporting?
Current Setup
SQL Server 2012 Enterprise setup at two sites (Site A & Site B).
Configured to use AlwaysOn Availability groups for HA and DR.
Installed on Windows 2012 Servers.
This is all working and failover works fine and no issues. So…
Requirement
A third server needs to be added for the purpose of reporting, to be located on another site (Site C) possibly in another domain. This server needs to have a replicated read only copy of the live database from site A or Site B, whichever is in use. The Site
C reporting database should be as up-to-date to the Site A or Site B database as possible – preferably within a few seconds anyway….
Solution - What I believe are available to me
I believe I can use AlwaysOn and create a ReadOnly replica for the Site C. If so do I assume Site C needs to have the Enterprise version of SQL server i.e. to match Site A & Site B?
Using log shipping which if I am correct means the Site C does not need to be an Enterprise version.
Any help on the best solution for this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Steve

for always on - all nodes should be part of one windows cluster..if there site C is on different domain - I do not think it works.
Logshipping works --as long as the sql on site C is is same or higher version(sql 2012 or above). you can only do read only.
IMHo, if you can make site C in the same domain then, Always is better solution else log shipping
also, if your database has enterprise level features such as - partitonin, data compression -- you cannot restore the database on lower editions- so you need to have enterprise edition.
Hope it Helps!!

RDL Reports are not working after installing SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 in the SharePoint integration Mode

I am using Reporting Service Integration mode with SharePoint. SSRS is installed on separated machine of SharePoint stacks in Integration Mode. Everything was working properly and I could create/edit/modify RDL reports(parameters, Datasource, Subscription)
inside SharePoint and Document Libraries.
But after installing SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2, on opening RDL reports inside SharePoint I receive this error message.
The permissions granted to user 'i:0#.f|membership|username' are insufficient for performing this operation. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user 'i:0#.f|membership|username' are insufficient for performing this operation
I should mention that SSRS is installed in the SharePoint integration Mode and there is no SSRS management console.

Hi Hedayat-Abedijoo,
According to your description, you are using Reporting Services in SharePoint Integrated mode, and everything worked fine before you install SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2. After the package is installed, when you open RDL reports, the error occurred: The
permissions granted to user 'i:0#.f|membership|username' are insufficient for performing this operation.
According to my search, there may be two reasons for the problem:
This is caused when the application pool account that runs the SharePoint Web application you are on in IIS and the application pool account that SharePoint believes is running the site differ. This happens if the application pool account is changed directly
in IIS instead of through SharePoint (using the approved method).
This error can be caused when Kerberos authentication has been set up correctly and delegation in a double hop scenario will succeed, but Reporting Services integration has been set up for Trusted Account rather than Windows Authentication. This causes
SharePoint to continue to impersonate the logged-on user when contacting Reporting Services; when Reporting Services compares the application pool account to the user account making the request, they are not equal.
In this case, we can solve the problem by changing the application pool account in IIS back to the previous account and set AuthenticationTypes to RSWindowsNTLM only. For detail information, please refer to 8.3 “The permissions granted to user 'Domain\User'
are insufficient for performing this operation” in the document:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee384252(SQL.100).aspx
If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,
Wendy Fu

Downloaded Evaluation Version of Windows Server 2012 Standard- install is asking for product key

I downloaded the evaluation version of Windows server 2012 standard from the Microsoft TechNet site.
When I try to install server 2012 as a new virtual, I'm prompted for the product key for server 2012.
I do not have the key. How do I get the key? Or, why is this happening on a evaluation version?
Does anyone out there have the key for Windows server 2012 standard evaluation version, or know where I can get it?
