WSUS installation and standalone SQL server

Hi there
Please could someone assist to clear up some confusion I have with installing the WSUS role ready for Config Manager 2012 R2?
Our setup is one server for Config Manager (will be installed as a Primary Standalone) and a separate SQL server (2012 SP1) for CfgMgr to use. But where should I put the WSUS database? On the CfgMrg box or the SQL one?
I have read this article:- http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4443062c-a82c-44f4-b701-40f7e6ba745a/database-instance-for-sccm-2012-and-wsus-on-a-single-primary-site-server?forum=configmanagerdeployment
so am concerned that if I put the WSUS database on the SQL server as well then we will have issues?
I don't mind installing the WSUS database on the CfgMgr box but am concerned we may experience performance issues or other issues further down the line? We have a secondary site that will eventually (hopefully) be joined to the setup.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thank you
Amy

Ok thanks Torsten - can I just ask why though as i was hoping to use the remote SQL server for other System Center components too?
(I downloaded the eval vhd for Service Manager and despite upping the default memory, CPU configuration etc. - it still ran really slow. Therefore I am also planning on creating a separate Service Manager box and pointing it to the remote SQL server too.)
Thanks
Amy

I have tried from so many forms. This is so frustrating. Thank for everyone/anyone who wants to help. So this is what happened: I had to uninstall my previous sqlserver 2012(which worked great) for some reason, and I uninstalled everything from that download.
Then I installed the trial edition of sql server 2012 (64 Bit) and It wouldn't connect to the database. (Error mentioned above.) My local DB is COWBOYS. (COWBOYS is also my computer name.) After this, I have tried downloading sqlexpress and sqlserver 64bit
many times and cannot connect to my local DB.
How do I connect to my Local DB?
Also, I think this might help: (When I run sqlserve.exe, which I was able to find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, I get an error: Your SQL server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(Error getting
instance ID from name). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
I would happily re install it, if it wasn't my 20th time.
I don't have any remote connections, I don't use username/password, only window authentication. I work mostly on visual studio, but without able to store /retrieve data, I don't know how to survive.
May be the solution is very simple, but I am too frustrated.
Some of the things I have tried:
From a command prompt, enter one of the following commands:
net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" OR
net start "SQL Server Agent(instancename)"(for instance)
on my sql configuration, I cannot start anything because there is nothing there to start. I can post more details, if that would help. Also, some more details about the error:

Any one that can help me, I will be greatful. Thank you so much. p.s. please ask me anything if you have any questions.

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

Hi All,
I was not able to solve the problem with MS SQL 2000, but I was able to resolve the issue with MS SQL 2005.
You have to chhose the following settings while instalation,
Service Account - Select one of the following options:
1) Use the built-in System account for each service and choose Local system or Network Service.
2) Use a domain user account, and enter the user name and password.
Under Start services at the end of setup make sure that SQL Server and SQL Server Agent are selected.
Authentication Mode
1) Select Mixed Mode (Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication).
This mode is required for a Java or ABAP+Java system.
If you choose this mode, you have to set the password for the sa login.
Note: The password for the sa login must comply with the Windows password policy.
Collation Settings
1) Select SQL collations (used for compatibility with previous versions of SQL Server).
2) From the drop-down list select Binary order based on code point comparison, for use with the 850 (Multilingual) Character Set.
I hope this helps!

VFPOLEDB and MS SQL Server Express 2014

I can install VFPOLEDBSetup.msi on machine with Windows 7 - 64bit and MS SQL Server Express 2012, but I cannot install VFPOLEDB on machine with Windows 7 - 64bit and MS SQL Server Express 2014. Is there a problem with MSSQL 2014?

I don't think this is related to what Man-wai Chang points to, because the dropping of OLEDB just means continued development of data access drivers for SQL Server are ODBC only now, not that the OLEDB branch of any database is broken intentional.
That said, it's quite cumbersome to find out what your detail problem is. Do you expect installation of Win7, MSSQL2014 and VFPOLEDB to eventually reproduce and see your problem? You could bet on your luck someone else had the same combination, but there
are not a lot of VFP developers left over and they may already be using Win8 or 8.1
Is there any error in setup? Are you just looking at the wrong place (eg OLEDB providers are not lilsted in ODBCAdmin)? VFP OLEDB is and always will be a 32bit driver and can only be seen and used from 32bit processes.
Bye, Olaf.
PS: You can use 32bit drivers from a 64bit MSSQL Server as it manages pools of 32bit and 64bit processes. For example see how to do via linked server http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~VisualFoxProDataFromSQLServer. The detail is in allowing inprocess
usage of the driver.
Also see this:
Create a new SQL Server Integration Services(SSIS) package.
Add a Data Flow Task(DFT) to the package.
Select the DFT, and go to Data Flow designer page.
Add a OLE DB Source to the package.
Double-click the OLE DB Source, click “New” > “New” to create a connection to Visual FoxPro.
In the Connection Manager, please select “Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro”
Type the file path of a Visual FoxPro database(e.g. C:Address.dbc).
Test the connection by clicking button “Test Connection”
Click “OK” > “OK” to apply.
Now, we can select a table from the Visual FoxPro database in the OLE DB Source editor.

Problem with provisioning and external SQL server connection

I am configuring IPAM 2012 R2 on a our management server. Completed the first step by enabling the feature. No issues.
Now I am on the Provisioning IPAM step. I get to the Configure Database step...
I choose Microsoft SQL server,
What should those values be in the Server name and Database name fields. Instructions show fqdn or ip address but that doesnt seem to be working for me.
I get the following error at the end of the Provisioning IPAM wizard,
IPAM Deployment failed with the following error.
Failed to connect to database server. Check the database name, connectivity and remote access.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)
You can restart this provisioning wizard from the IPAM overview page.
From the management server I have tested the SQL Connection with a udl file. I used myServer\myInstance and it works. It reports that I have made the Connection to the server and database with the sql credentials i have provided.
Thanks

Ran
into a problem with connecting to the DB on the SQL server from the IPAM server. The Dba and I checked the target SQL instance was enabled TCP and listening on a valid TCP port. SQL server was set to use port 1443 for incoming connections.
IPAM was set by default to use 1433.
Also used
netstat-n to identify issue and verified 1443 on SQL server was
being used. Made the correction under the IPAM provisioning wizard and connected to the database. Fixed.
Important note I was able to connect to the database with a .udlfile
without any issues
Also note that 2012 R2 IPAM only supports 2012 SQL Enterprise. Why?

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The
server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26- Error:Locating Server\instance Specified)
How Can i solve this?

1. Make sure SQL Server Service is running
2. If a named instance, make sure SQL Server browser service is running
3. Make sure SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections
4. Examine the SQL Server error log for messages confirming that SQL is listening on the expected network interfaces and ports
5. Test server connectivity with PING from the client machine
6. Test port connectivity using TELNET or PowerShell to the server and port (from step 4) from the client machine. For example
a. TELNET <server-name> 1433
b. PowerShell: 1433 | % { echo ((new-object Net.Sockets.TcpClient).Connect("YourServerName",$_)) "server listening on TCP port $_" }
7. Check firewall settings if step 5 or 6 connectivity test fails

Doesn't the following link give you enough information?

Anyway .. This error means that the given ResultSet column index which you're trying to retrieve the value from is out of the range.

Replication between Oracle Server and MS SQL Server

Hello,
Does anybody know of a well known or reliable software that can do data replication between Oracle Server and Microsoft SQL server.
I suppose I can write my own version using Heterogenous Services in Oracle but I would like to know if such an automated replication between Oracle and SQL is available commercially.
Thank you.

Sorry, Aman,
I couldn't find any info about replication to MS SQL. Is it possible at all? Could you provide link where we can read about this? It could be very interesting.Sorry Viacheslav, even I couldn't find anything for the same. I am not sure that it can be done or not, I haven't heard anyone in my contact doing so. The only place where I have seen Streams being used around me is within Oracle db only. May be someone else can help if he/she has done it.

How to create ODBC connection between Oracle 10g and MS SQL Server

Hi,
Can someone help us with the steps to create an ODBC connection between Oracle APPS using Oracle 10g database and MS SQL Server.
Requirement is to extract the transactional data from MS SQL Server on a daily basis and dump it into Oracle tables for an interface to be run. Currently it is being done through Dataloader tool which we feel is causing the data issue with Arabic characters. We want to create the ODBC directly between Oracle and MS SQL Server and check if the data is being pulled correctly.
The data is in sql server 2000 which has data in Arabic_CI_AS character set which is moved to Oracle 10.2.0.3 database with characterset AL32UTF8. The table data is moved to oracle using the dataloader 3.6 standard edition licensed version. We cannot change the character set of Sql Server 2000.
Please help
Thanks
Shanil

Hi,
If you're trying to PULL data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you wouldnt use Oracle ODBC driver for that, so you may want to post in the Heterogeneous Services forum instead:
Heterogeneous Connectivity
If you're trying to PUSH data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you could use ODBC but most folks use OLEDB for that, and the following note on MOS should help:
How to Create a Sql Server Linked Server With The Oracle Provider for OLE DB (Doc ID 191368.1)
As with any NLS related issue, the first thing to do is dump the codepoints of the data in the Oracle database to see if it is stored validly, rather than relying on what the data "looks like" from some tool or other. It's best to check a single row, with only a few characters in it if you can, and you can do that via
SELECT DUMP(<columname>,1016) FROM <tablename> WHERE ...
Hope it helps,
Greg

What are the Basic Differences between Oracle and MS-SQL server Database?

Hello,
anybody pls Guide me about the Differences between Oracle and MS-SQL server Database.and also IBM Databases also

Balaram

SQL Server only works on Windows-based platforms, including Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows CE.
In comparison with SQL Server , OracleDatabase supports all known platforms, including Windows-based platforms, AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP 9000 Series HP-UX, Linux Intel, Sun Solaris and so on.
The SQL Server advantages:
SQL Server holds the top TPC-C performance and price/performance results.
SQL Server is generally accepted as easier to install, use and manage.
The Oracle Database advantages:
Oracle Database supports all known platforms, not only the Windows-based platforms.
PL/SQL is more powerful language than T-SQL.
More fine-tuning to the configuration can be done via start-up parameters.
