  Dear team

  We have a separate database VM VMware infrastructure, we have 3 database one for VC, second database for Update Manager and applies the SSO IE RSA. Database version installed is MSSQL 2012 Enterprise edition. Company now wants the same migrate to the Standard MSSQL2012 or MSSQL2014 standard edition.

  I just want to confirm is possible to migrate our current SQL2012 Ent edition to the standard 2012 or 2014 standard edition.

  If the standard version is compatible then how to migrate the same, need your urgent help on the same

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  Standard SQL 2012 Enterprise edition migration is not a supported scenario. Even from 2012 to 2014 enterprise SQL standard SQL is not supported.

  Please have look at Microsoft link for more details on the supported upgrade paths and its versions below:

  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-in/library/ms143393.aspx

  You can raise the rear of the SQL Enterprise 2012 data, uninstall SQL server and do fresh install of the SQL Standard 2012/2014 edition and import the data, it is a just solution.

• Training and tools SQL Server Business Intelligence 2016

  We are looking for a SQL Server installation where it serves as a data warehouse, performs work of the ETL data and provides information for Business Intelligence using dashboards, reports, etc. From my research, it seems that SQL Server 2014 had a specific edition of BI but for 2016 all BI tools are available in the Enterprise edition. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  Is there a place to find the specific documentation about SQL Server 2016 BI tools and specific training?

  Thank you for your help.

• Migration SQL server 2008 SQL server standard, what is the best?

  Good evening

  I need help for a migration to sql server.

  We already have a vcenter 5.1 production installed in Windows 2008 R2 x 64 with SQL Server 2008 express. Our data increase and ourODBC cannot answer for our use. We need to migrate to SQL server 2008 Express in SQ server 2008 standard.

  I have a problem with the software installed Vmware (SSO, Update Manager).

  I have two choices:

  • Install a new Server 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008 Standard and import datas beetwen current server to our new.
  • Migration on our current server SQL Server Express to the standard.

  What is the best solution?

  Kind regards

  You must check odbc 32-bit and 64-bit. If not mistaken only um uses 64-bit

• SQL server enterprise edition vs. Standard Edition

  Gurus,
  I have about 8 applications on my place of work planning.
  We are currently using SQL server enterprise edition.
  Now, we are contemplating on using SQL server Standard edition for our development servers.
  Y at - there no performance impact on the use of standard edition instead of wide edition.
  Please let me know your thoughts.
  
  Thank you.

  Hello

  Standard and Enterprise use the base engine Similarly there is no difference in performance, Enterprise version just had more additional features.

  Express version works with Hyperion even if it is not taken in charge, express has the features of the standard maintenance and has a maximum DB size of 4 GB.

• Service SQL Server 2014 will not start start after the update sp1 (KB3058865, KB3075950, KB3094221)

  Hi, my SQL Server 2014 works very well in my server with WIndows 2012 until I installed the new day & service pack that was required for server hardening.

  I successfully installed SP1 KB 3058865 first, then discovered that the services do not start. After so much research to fix, I came with the 2 cu updates KB3075950, KB3094221 in knowing that it could solve my problem but unfortunately is not.

  I also tried to change the service account that many suggest, but his does not work.

  I tried to replace the master file & maslog but also failed.

  I tried to run etc and unique usermode and restore master db... also failed.

  Here is the log file:

• Microsoft SQL server question

  The company I work for has a production with SQL Server Standard Edition (64-bit) database server. However when I try to configure Oracle as a linked server, the 'Microsoft OLE DB Oracle provider' does not appear in the drop down menu to the provider. The server is running service pack 2 and the .NET version on the server is 3.5 SP1 and more 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2. Please guide as to what needs to be done.

• Problem establish Oracle Database Gateway for SQL Server

  I configured dblink between Oracle and SQL Server by using the 'Oracle Database Gateway for SQL Server' method.
  
  I use dg4odbc and freetds, suite Doc-ID 561033.1 .
  
  I have my isql and osql works correctly, tsql.
  But get below error when query any table/column of Oracle sql * for the sql server database.
  
  Select subscription_type in Address@ITSMSP;
  
  ORA-28511: lost RPC connection to heterogeneous remote agent using SID = ORA-28511: lost CPP
  connecting to heterogeneous remote agent to help
  SID = (Description = (Address = (Protocol = TCP)(Host=localhost) (port = 1522)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ITSM-Prod)))
  ORA-02063: preceding the line of ITSMSP
  
  
  As per below track appears after the connection is a failure.
  I get this error with each table or column selection.
  I already prepare DBlink user id and password with the double quotes and link with the apostrophe.
  One thing surprised me when I close my session it request commit or rollback.
  Although I don't do anything except select.
  I already tried by setting autocommit on, but still getting the same error.
  
  
  We create the oracle for sql server before database gateway. This time, few things are different:
  1. the name of the server (on sql server database) contains a '-' hyphen.
  2. name of database server Sql contain also one '-' hyphen.
  2 sql database server for windows 64 - bit OS, prior, we used 32 bits.
  
  Please let me know if anyone set the Oracle database gateway using dg4odbc and freetds to sql server where the database of sql server resident in 64-bit windows machine.
  
  
  Here's the snapshot trace: remove the server name with *.

  Hello
  Thanks for the information. 2.2 UnixODBC driver manager is quite old and there is now one more late 2.3.1 version available here.

  by clicking on the tab "Download".
  Can you download and install this version then use in the configuration instead of the 2.2 version?

  Kind regards

• DG4MSQL v11.2.0.1 certified with Sql Server 2005 Express Edition?

  We are working on a proof of concept and to do database gateway for MS Sql Server - DG4MSQL version 11.2 - Oracle on 64-bit Linux to connect to a Windows database that uses SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. I have reviewed the matrix certification for database gateways and it indicates that SQL Server 2005 is certified - but does not specify what editions.
  
  We have some problems to connect to the SQL Server database and want to make sure that we should be able to connect to the express edition.
  
  Thank you.

  Yes, DG4MSQL 11 is certified with SQL Server Express Edition.

• Microsoft sql server 2008 standard R2

  Hi all

  Your help on this issue would be grately appreciated.

  We run a piece of software that come bundled with a specific version of Microsoft SQL 2008 R2. In January, we have built a new server to run this piece of software that we had encountered problems with this affects affecting the network. This time is appears our old COMPUTER vendor installed a copy of the complete software evaluation, this had a 180-day trial period, which you guessed it expired yesterday.

  The software will not work and the only solution seems to be that we pay for SQL server 2008 R2 Standard more to be able to access our data despite an express copy as part of the software. This seems a very costly mistake, I was wondering if anyone has a similar experience of would be able to offer all the words of wisdom.

• After an edition upgrade to SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard, vSphere cannot communicate with the VIM_VCDB database

  My vCenter environment is 5.0 and has been initially implemented using SQL Server 2008 R2 Express as the database.  We have reached the limit of size of 10 GB for the Express version, so I want to upgrade the database 2008 R2 express 2008 R2 standard.

  Before the upgrade, I stopped the vCenter Server service before you start the SQL Server Setup program.  I did an "Upgrade Edition", to consider express standard.  It ends successfully with 2 minutes, and then I went and restarted the server vCenter service.

  However, after restarting the service, vSphere is unable to communicate with the VIM_VCDB.  For example, in vSphere if I click a virtual machine and click the performance tab, it tells me that it's impossible to view the web page.  It seems to be unable to communicate with the VIM_VCDB.  I have not changed all database names, or the ODBC settings, so not sure what is causing the problem.

  If I go to ODBC data sources administrator and test the Data Source, the test completes successfully.

  I have read all the documentation I could find and tried a few different things, but not found something that solves this problem.  I ended up having to go back to the snapshot backup, I took before the upgrade of the database edition.

  Anyone have any ideas on what the issue might be, or what should I do to solve it?

  Shane

  The database is probably fine.

  The vCenter Web Management Service running?
