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 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.

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

You should use
SQL Server 2014 Express with Tools 64 Bit
This package contains the core SQL Server database along with the tools to manage SQL Server instances including SQL Server Express, LocalDB, and SQL Azure. If you need Reporting Services or Full text search, use SQL Server Express with Advanced Services.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/Products/sql-server-editions/sql-server-express.aspx
Because it has everything you need.
Also check out Azure SQL Database http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/sql-database/, which you can also use for production and you don't have to run a SQL Server VM.

Installing SQL Server 2014 Express package as ClickOnce prerequisite

I'm using clickOnce and deploying an installer with it.
I have tried various settings. Using SQL Server 2008 Express and SQL Server 2012 Express as prerequisite is all ok (I've dowloaded them and set the option of clickonce "download prerequisites from the same path of app").
Now I'm trying to do the same thing with SQL Server 2014 Express.
Since the SQL Server 2014 Express package isn't alredy done line 2008 and 2012 versiones, I'm trying to create it.
I have done and it seems to work, but while installing it gives error number **-2054422506**. It is a very generic error and I don't understand it.
It appears a pop up saying the installation is stopped because it is an error installing SQL Server Express 2014 and to look the log for more infos.
The log only says:
    Installing using command
    'C:\Users\VIRTUA~1\AppData\Local\Temp\VSD24F4.tmp\SqlExpress2014\
    SQLEXPR32_x86_ITA.EXE' and parameters '/q /action=Install /features=SQL
    /instancename=SQLEXPRESS /securitymode=SQL /sapwd=234692Is
    /sqlsvcaccount="NT Authority\Network Service'
    Process exited with code -2054422506
    Status of package 'SQL Server 2014 Express' after install is 'InstallFailed'
So, I've tried to install SQL Server 2014 Express manually, without ClickOnce, and it works. So I think I've made some mess in the xml file of the package.
My package is so build (in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\Bootstrapper\Packages\):

I've copied the SqlExpressChk.exe file from the SQL Server 2012 Express package, hoping it is the same (2008 and 2012 versions seems the same, so I supposed it also for the 2014).
I've delete the part in package.xml about the publicKey, since I don't know it and, further, I think I don't need it.
In the same file, I've inserted custom parameters, first like in the 2008 and 2012 versions, then doing some attempts (without success).
Did anyone have this problem? How did you have manage it?
**NOTE**: I'm using my clickOnce deploy in an empty virtual machine, so there aren't any conflicts o something similar.
More attempts, more failures, always the same error! I'm deleting the optional stuff to study better the core of the xml, but still no success.. does microsoft have a package of sql server 2014 express?

refer to this link
http://bootstrapper-manifest-generator-for-vs20.software.informer.com/2.0/
remember make the reply as answer and vote the reply as helpful if it helps.
thanks! =)
SqlServer usually runs a file (SqlExpressChk.exe) to see if there is already an installation and a sql instance called sqlExpress (for the express installations). Do you know how can do this test with the bootstrapper manifest generator?
I am not able to test it currently, but I assume that will also check whether that has installed.
You have tested it, right?

Upgrating SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 to SQL Server 2014 Standard "UpgradeFeatureSpecificRules: KJRTMUpgradeBlockRule"

I've been searching for HOURS how to resolve this issue:
I am trying to upgrade SQL Server 2008 R2 (Express Edition with advanced services) to SQL SERVER 2014 Standard edition, my first issue was to update the 2008 R2 to Service pack 2 on the first FEATURE RULE TEST, at this time on it's keep saying this:
======================================================================================
Rule Check Result
Rule "SQL Server 2008 R2 Service pack 2 or later is requered for upgrade.: failed.
This SQL Server 2008 R2 features that have been selected to be upgraded to SQL Server 2014 are not at the require service pack. To continue with this upgrade, install SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2 or lager to the selected instance and the shared features.
=====================================================================================
This is the Configuration Report issue:
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - System Configuration Check Report
UpgradeFeatureSpecificRules: SQL Server 2014 Setup configuration checks for rules group 'UpgradeFeatureSpecificRules'
KJRTMUpgradeBlockRule
Checks if the currently selected SQL Server 2008 R2 features to upgrade are at the supported service pack. Failed The SQL Server 2008 R2 features that have been selected to be upgraded to SQL Server 2014 are not at the
required service pack. To continue with this upgrade, install SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2 or later to the selected instance and the shared features.
====================================================================================
I try after hours and finally did install the Upgrade Advisor and got not issues, the last choice I was to uninstall the Management Studio because in other upgrade express versions got blocked, but in this new version of SQL Server 2014 I don't see any way
out!!!
Thanks.

Hi again
This is the scenario:
-I have installed the SQL SERVER 2008 R2 With Advanced services (version 10.50.1600.1), and now my guest decide to upgrade to an STARNDARD version which nowadays Microsoft is offering the 2014 version.
-As all IT Support and DBA I try to upgrade to SQL 2014 to check and see with requirements were missing or updates. The first check report only ask to upgrade to SQL SERVER 2008 R2 SP2 (version 10.51.2500.0) which I found in the optional update list and
resolved immediately with the Windows Update service.
-Finally, I realise doing the discovery report (suggested in the last post) is that Windows update only download the service pack 2 for SQL Server 2008 instead of the 2008 R2 (I downloaded manually) then the version was upgrade to 10.52.4000.0
Next time I might download the updates manually and not loosing a lot hours with Windows Update, another point very important is that when SQL Server 2008 R2 is installed, create the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 folder at all programas in the Startup menu:
with the SQL Server Installation Center, but there is not one R2, when you execute this one just show the 2008 installed features.
Now we are on 12.0.2000.8
Thanks anyway and all of you for your interest!!!

Product keys to convert evaluation version of SQL Server Std 2014 to their SQL Server Standard 2014 Volume License

Customer was asked for a product key to convert evaluation version of SQL Server Std 2014 to their SQL Server Standard 2014
Volume License.
He cannot download the ISO as he is on a sterile server on his client’s site.

You may also try and look for PID in to DefaultSetup.ini file in the installation media, which can be found by going to the root folder of the SQL Server set media
on the server or on the DVD, then look for this file in either the x64 or x86 folder.

SQL Server 2014 Official Final Version ---- Data Tools (SSIS, BIDS, etc.)

I have VS 2013 Professional, and just installed SQL Server 2014 Developer version. Can someone tell me where the proper location for the Data Tools (fka BIDS) is located ? I'm seeing CPT1, etc. but looking for the truly released version.
THank you,
John

Hi,
SSDT-BI installs the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence project templates for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services. SSDT does not contain those BI project templates.
SQL Server Data Tools for SQL Server 2014 is available declares that there is a update for Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 has been pushed
which makes SQL Server Data Tools fully compatible with SQL Server 2014.
As I understand, what you need is SSDT-BI and checking updates would not do much help.
Per http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313, Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 has been removed from the Download
Center since April 11.
SSDT-BI has been temporarily removed to deal with side by side issues with SSDT-SQL.
Please be patient and wait it to be reposted. However, I cannot guarantee when it may be released. Sorry for the inconvenience you have experienced and thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Thanks.

Any suggestion on converting this view would be helpful.
Kind regards.

Thanks Lydia Zhang for your reference urls.
Please let me know if you come across any reference articles related to
Creating a SQL Server table and View with columns as SQL Server TVP similar to Oracle UDT like
CREATE TABLE "OE"."CUSTOMERS"
   (   "CUSTOMER_ID" NUMBER(6,0),
   "CUST_FIRST_NAME" VARCHAR2(20 BYTE) CONSTRAINT "CUST_FNAME_NN" NOT NULL ENABLE,
   "CUST_LAST_NAME" VARCHAR2(20 BYTE) CONSTRAINT "CUST_LNAME_NN" NOT NULL ENABLE,
   "CUST_ADDRESS" "OE"."CUST_ADDRESS_TYP" ,
   "PHONE_NUMBERS" "OE"."PHONE_LIST_TYP" ,
   "NLS_LANGUAGE" VARCHAR2(3 BYTE),
And also creating a SQL Server TVP inside an another SQL Server TVP as in Oracle
create or replace TYPE customer_typ
AS OBJECT
    ( customer_id        NUMBER(6)
    , cust_first_name    VARCHAR2(20)
    , cust_last_name     VARCHAR2(20)

Trouble Turneing on FileStream/Ad Hoc Query with new SQL Server 2014 64-BIt Version

SQL Server Help,
I have recently installed SQL SERVER 2014 on my Window 7 SP1 Acer laptop.
I am trying to do a simple upload of an Excel file into SQL Server using the OPENROWSET command:
Which I found requires some configuration change I attempted below.
When I execute this:
execute sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
execute sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
GO
I get this message
Configuration option 'show advanced options' changed from 1 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.
Msg 5593, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
FILESTREAM feature is not supported on WoW64. The feature is disabled.
Msg 15123, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_configure, Line 62
The configuration option 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' does not exist, or it may be an advanced option.
Msg 5593, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
FILESTREAM feature is not supported on WoW64. The feature is disabled.
When I go to the SQL Server Services and Properties on the Server and try to change the FileStream options to be on..I get the error:
"There was an unknown error applying the FILESTREAM settings. Check the parameters are valid (0x80070002)."
Perhaps my issue is with the Windows Share Name: . I have put in a local driver C:\A_Excel....also the computer name, my user ID. Is there a special format or way to define a Share Name that I am unaware of?
Is there a way to fix this? Can I not load Excel files with a 64-Bit system? Or what is the easiest way that I can do this with my configuration?
Thanks for any help.

FILESTREAM feature is not supported on WoW64. The feature is disabled.
By the error message it seems you have a 64 bit OS, but have installed a 32 bit SQL Server and here in WoW64 mode filestream seems to be not supported. Install a 64 bit SQL Server instead.

Which Versions of SQL are compatible with windows 2003 server?

I just purchased SQL 2014 standard and tried to install on my Windows 2003 standard R2 VM server. It will not install and now I'm finding some places on the internet that say it's not compatible????
Is this true?
And if so what version of SQL can I install on my windows 2003 standard R2 VM server???

Hello,
You can install SQL Server 2008 R2 or earlier versions of SQL Server only on a Windows Server 2003 R2 computer.
SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 can be installed on Windows Server 2003 R2 if you apply SP2 for Windows Server 2003 R2.
Meanwhile SQL Server 2005 requires Windows Server 2003 R2 Service Pack 1.
SQL Server 2000 can be installed on Windows Server 2003 R2 with no service pack.
Hope this helps.

What is the latest version of SQL Server which ColdFusion 7 supports?

What is the latest version of SQL Server which ColdFusion 7 supports? For example can Cold Fusion 7 connect to SQL Server 2012 or 2008 without any problem? Thanks

First things first, I would advise you to apply the upgrades, if you haven't yet done so. I remember Coldfusion MX7 to be quite buggy. We could not wait to apply the upgrades and hotfixes. Version MX7.0.2 turned out to be the lasting upgrade. We used MySQL, however, not SQL Server.
You can get the information you want from Adobe Support. But you can think it through yourself. The way I think about it is as follows.
Coldfusion is an application that includes database functionality. I may therefore assume that Coldusion would be backwardly compatible in its support of database server versions. In other words, a new version of Coldfusion, say 9 or 10, would work with an older database server like SQL Server 2005.
However, I would not expect a previous version of Coldfusion, say MX7, to be compatible with newer database server versions like SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2012. Even if someone told me they were compatible, I would still expect such a set-up to be an accident waiting to happen.

Which version of SQL Server 2014 should I be using?
