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.

Moving the log file of a publisher database SQL Server 2008
There are many threads on this here. Most of them not at all helpful and some of them wrong. Thus a fresh post.
This post regards SQL Server 2008 (10.0.5841)
The PUBLISHER database primary log file which is currently of 3 blocks and not extendable,
must be moved as the LUN is going away.
The database has several TB of data and a large number of push transactional replications as well as a couple of bi-directional replications.
While the primary log file is active, it is almost never (if ever) used due to its small fixed size.
We are in the 20,000 TPS range at peak (according to perfmon). This is a non-trivial installation.
This means that
backup/restore is not even a remotely viable option (it never is in the real world)
downtime minimization is critical - measured in minutes or less.
dismantling and recreating the replications is doable, but I have to say, I have zero trust in the script writer to generate accurate scripts. Many of these replications were originally set up in older versions of SQL Server and have come along for the
ride as upgrades have occurred. I consider scripting everything and dismantling the whole lot pretty high risk. In any case, I do not want to have to reinitialize any replications as this takes, effectively, an eternity.
Possible solution:
The only option I can think of is to wind down everything, such that there are zero outstanding uncommitted transactions and detach the database, delete the offending log file and reattach using the CREATE DATABASE xyz ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG option.
This should, if I have understood things correctly, cause SQL Server to recreate the default log file in the same directory as the .mdf file. I am not sure what will happen to the secondary log file which is not moving anywhere at this point.
The hard bit is insuring that every transaction in the active log files have been replicated before shutdown. This is probably doable. I do not know how to manually flush any left over transactions to replication. I expect if I shut down all "real"
activity and wait for a certain amount of time, eventually all the replications will show "No replicated transactions are available" and then I would be good to go.
Hillary, if you happen to be there, comments appreciated.Hi Philip
you should try this long back suggested way of stopping replication and restore db and rename or detach attach

I do not wish to be rude, but which part of the OP didn't you understand?
Specifically the bit about 20,000 transactions a second and database size of several TB. Do you have any concept whatsoever of what this means? I will answer for you, "no, you are clueless" as your answer clearly shows.
Stop wasting bandwidth by proposing pointless and wrong solutions which indicate that you did not read the OP, or do you just do this to generate points?
Also, you clearly failed to notice that I was on the thread to which you referred, and I had some pointed comments to make. This thread was an attempt to garner some input for an alternative proposal. -
Best way of handle Log Shipping in Physical Movement of SQL Server
Hi All
We are moving SQL Server physically from one rack to another in data centre. Just power off and move the server and network link up and power on and bring to same state before power off.
One of Server 2005 have Log shipping active. What is best way to maintain Log Shipping during this physical movement. I do not want to remove log shipping and re-configure from scratch.
Need help for clean and safe method to carry this activity.
Thanks in AdvanceThanks for reply...
No... I am not asking RACK migration. Just SQL SERVER...Here are my steps that I am like to do...
1. Stop application(s) that connect to the databases on this Server
Correct
2. Note of account under which SQL Server running for the purpose of permission of this account on folder(s) for L Log Shipping
OK
2. Stop Jobs using via making script for disable and enable jobs
Here I have doubt on Log Shipping jobs disable and enable that
You can use job( tsql) but why not use GUI.Log into SQL Server expand SQL server agent RK on job and disable it.
a. I should stop LS jobs manually as you recommended but not while running em I right?
Yes see job activity monitor on both primary and secondary server.It will show status executing for jobs,look out for LS jobs.
b. Shall I stop disable jobs first on Secondary or Primary Server?
First disable on Primary and then on secondary.
I faced a issue where shutting down SQL agent on Secondary caused Sec database to go in suspect mode.So make sure while you shutdown agent no job is running.If restore log job is running let it complete and then disable the job
c. On which server I should enable LS jobs first?
Primary
3. Stop SQL Server Services.
Run sp_who2 or select * from sys.sysprocessess to see any active transaction.Then move accordingly.
AND take same steps in reverse manner when power on after physical migration of Box.
Pls advise
Hope this helps

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.

How to disable the archive logs in SAP IDES(Windows) using SQL Server
can any body tell us How to disable the archive logs in SAP IDES(Windows 2003) using SQL Server 2000.SP4.?
Hi,
Unfortunately, SQL Server does not have the option to turn off transaction logging. You can set the recovery mode to SIMPLE, instead of FULL. This will result in the transaction log being truncated on checkpoint.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/873235 - check this microsoft article
This will help in reduction of the size of the transcation log.

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

"C:\temp\good.fmt" could not be read. Operating system error code (null). • So it will be helpful if you can provide a sample format file and TSQL script along with the possible output which can be tested and compared. • The sample query and the
format file is not yielding the right output. Screenshots shown in the article has invalid values (for example ID coulmn has invalid values). Format file need to be fixed to get the right data. • The format file under section “Files With Text Qualifiers” is
also invalid and the data is not imported properly. • Implementation of import using the SSIS package needs more details about how to make the delimiter consistent, Attaching a sample package would be helpful. "

Parsing Out Data From Flat File With Inconsistent Delimiters in SQL Server
Durval Ramos: "Very useful. Good job !"
Ed Price: "Fantastic job on the code formatting, in-depth descriptions, and robust use of images!"
AM: "Thanks for presenting multiple approaches to solve the problem. It would be good to see a second part describing the format file."
DRC: "This is a good article which provides different ways to import the data to SQL, But this article needs some modifications. Suggestions: • It would be helpful, if mentioned on which version of SQL server and Visual studio scenario
was tested • We might encounter errors while using the format files, for example we get the below error if the format file doesn’t have blank space (character ) at the end of each line Msg 4862, Level 16, State 1, Line 10 Cannot bulk load because the file
"C:\temp\good.fmt" could not be read. Operating system error code (null). • So it will be helpful if you can provide a sample format file and TSQL script along with the possible output which can be tested and compared. • The sample query and the
format file is not yielding the right output. Screenshots shown in the article has invalid values (for example ID coulmn has invalid values). Format file need to be fixed to get the right data. • The format file under section “Files With Text Qualifiers” is
also invalid and the data is not imported properly. • Implementation of import using the SSIS package needs more details about how to make the delimiter consistent, Attaching a sample package would be helpful. "

Answer an interesting question?
Create a wiki article about it! -
We have implemented our own way of logshipping by backing up the transaction logs of all our non-system databases every hour. Then we transfer the backups (before SQL Server 2008 R2 with additional zip and unzip steps) to the second environment where we
restore them only during the night on databases in standby-state (Like this, our developers can access the databases without disturbing the productive system and we can restore the t-logs during night, so not shutting out the developers during the day).
Now since we replaced our hardware in the productive environment, we replaced the hardware in the second environment with the servers from previous productive environment. Same SQL Server 2008 R2, same Service Pack (SP2), same installation procedure. But
since then the SQL Server in the second environment behaves different:
- When the logs of some database "A" are restored, I cannot access the properties of any database, i.e. database "B", I only get the error message "Cannot show requested dialog. (SqlMgmt) Database 'A' cannot be opened. It is in the
middle of a restore. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 927)"
- Our logshipping runs multiple instance at the same time, so restoring multiple databases' logs. But since the change, two of the instances fail restoring of datatbases, i.e. "B" and "C" with the error message "Database 'A' cannot
be opened. It is in the middle of a restore.". The jobs guarantee to restore only logs of the database they need to restore, they have strictly separated sets of target databases and only try to restore the databases of their sets.
Before the new installations, we did not have these strange behaviours. But as said, it is the same SQL Server version, the same service pack, and we followed the same installation document but maybe with the small changes in settings. The user the jobs
are running under is a domain admin, the login they use has dbcreator, processadmin, db_owner and db_backupoperator roles. My login on the SQL Server has sysadmin rights and as described similar problems.
Is this problem known or does somebody have an idea where to go looking for?
Thanks, ChrisHi Christar,
According to your description, after you configuring Log shipping between two database, you remove the hardware from production environment to dev environment, in this hardware, there are saved the transaction logs of your database.
When restoring your database, there will occurs error 927, right?
SQL Server Log shipping allows you to automatically send transaction log backups from a
primary database on a primary server instance to one or more
secondary databases on separate secondary server instances. It consists of three operations:
1.Back up the transaction log at the primary server instance.
2.Copy the transaction log file to the secondary server instance.
3.Restore the log backup on the secondary server instance.
Since you want to move your hardware avoiding copy job, we need to verify if .mdf and .ldf file are not saved in your hardware, or else,
if you move your hardware, you could not open your database in your Primary Server. I recommend you can refer to the following steps.
Full back up your primary database and restore it into the secondary database. It would have been set up as WITH STANDBY ,the databases would read StandBy/ Read Only.
Perform transaction log backups via a SQL Server Agent job running on the primary server instance, save them in your hardware.
In night, you move hardware to your dev environment, you can manually restore these transaction log backups or set up a SQL Server Agent job to restoring them from your hardware.
There is detail about how to configure log shipping in SQL Server 2008R2 step by step, you can review it.

Please advice. I searched many places and did not get actual solution that will resolve my case.
Nusrat AkhterHi Nusrat Akhter,
According to your description, when installing the first install failed, and it looks like the instance did not uninstall completely. To solve the issue I recommend you changed the instance name in re-installing SQL Server, and check if it can work fine.
There is a similar issue that the SQL engine will not start, and there is no method of uninstalling either it, or any of the components etc. You can review the following post.

Database in Suspect Mode in SQL Server 2000 Log Shipping Environment
Hi All
We have movement of SQL Server 2000 at physical level. We have disable jobs and stop Agent and SQL Server services.
After moved the server we have started the server and then start SQL Server 2000 services.
All of databases in SUSPECT mode. Files are in correct folders as were before shutdown the server
What shall I do e.g. why databases come up in SUSPECT mode? what to check and how to get database live?
Pls help it is critical...

Hello,
Did you made sure no transactions like restore logs were running when you stopped SQL server service or agent .I have seen in SQL 2000 an abrupt stop of SQL Server agent when its doing a process can sometimes force database in suspect mode.
I would like you to get your disk analyzed by vendor ASAP for any fault in disk at first go it seems to me an underlying hardware issue.
Please can you check errorlog and event viewer to find out any possible cause for database going into suspect mode
I always suggest to use Backup and restore method of recovery to get out from suspect database problem.If you dont have then you can move with DBCC Checkdb and various repair options but be sure
DATA LOSS might be possible when you use repair allow data loss and repair_rebuild removes constraints.
hope this helps
